I had the Wii version of this game, so before anyone says "it's not that bad..." it is.
On Xbox and Ps3 I could maybe see the game in a better light because it had the open world and a variety of suits (some more interesting than others:

Cross Species Suit, Raimi Suit, Amazing Spiderman Black Suit [interpretation based on the ASM1 suit], and the Raimi Black Suit)

The problem is the wii version only featured: ASM1 Suit, Raimi Spiderman Suit, and Black Suit (which did not have the Venom Logo) it was just a desaturated Raimi Suit. And thats it.

The story takes a detour from the movie, which is both cool and stupid considering it just makes the "movie" game feel more like a comic book adaption for a game. Which is great because it allows you to do ridiculous shit, but still it's pretty dumb when comparing it to Spiderman 3 PS2/PS3/Xbox 360.

The whole cross species genetic villians was both cool and stupid because they could've done what Spiderman 3 game did and have the the extra stuff take place during the movie stuff. Like KingPin, Kraven, Scorpion, etc, in between the moments like Sandman vs Symbiote Spiderman, or the final boss against Sandman and Venom.

But no this game doesn't have doctor Conners in it, just some smart dude in a wheel chair who wants to take over New York by using cross species genetics to mutate people... while riding a giant mechanical spider like wtf.

Maybe the Xbox 360/PS3 versions are great, but the wii version is awful. It doesn't have an open world, it just shoves you into a level. Also really don't like how this game essentially teases the death of Gwen Stacey... oh wait... nope this game just kills her off... like wtf. Like anyone heres who has watched ASM2 knows she dies. But because this game isn't based off the movie... sort of. It says "fuck it kill her now"
What an awful game.
