    There are glimmers of promise in the 3DS version, but the execution is so bad and the graphics engine so lacklustre, that you'll find it hard to squeeze more than a few drops of genuine pleasure out of this cold, grey stone. [Sept 2012, p.107]

    Even as a fairly hardcore fan of Spider-Man, I can't recommend the 3DS version. The GameCube Spider-Man games from ten years ago were better than this.

    This game is a very decent 3ds game and if you want a 3ds spider man game i recommend this game. While this game doesn't have an open world itThis game is a very decent 3ds game and if you want a 3ds spider man game i recommend this game. While this game doesn't have an open world it makes sense because this is more of a port of the wii version and that too didn't have an open world. Since this is a port ill be going over if this is a good port. if you want a review on the main game and story then go check out the reviews for the wii version. Now instead of motion controls you use buttons and the touch screen. The controls while not perfect are solid and okay, nothing special but they work. I wish this game had support for the circle pad pro but thats just a minor complaint. The graphics, while not perfect its fine for a 3ds game. One complaint i do have though is the placement of the dodge button, i feel like web rush should just have been on the touch screen but its fine. This port was pretty decent and if you want a spider man game for your 3ds then you should get this game… Full Review »

    Most people have been infuriated at this game for its lack of a free-roam, or its graphics not comparing to that of the WiiU and PS3. They'reMost people have been infuriated at this game for its lack of a free-roam, or its graphics not comparing to that of the WiiU and PS3. They're wrong. This game is a simple, fun action game that takes people back to some of the earlier villains such as the Rhino or Black-Cat, and puts the player in with many ways to beat each mission, be it stealth, action or anything in-between. There are plenty of upgrades and hidden packages, but its still not perfect. Once in a while younger players may get lost in some of the levels and not know where to go, And its true that the alternate suits you can unlock just aren't different enough, but the gameplay is fun and can be strategic (only if you use the stealth approach), even if it is over somewhat quickly. Players will enjoy seeing the aftermath to Connors experiments from the movie, as welll as the trademarked spidey-humor and of course- Spider-Mans ridiculously big arsenal of attacks, be it flips or kicks or twirls or throws, he always keeps you guessing. Worth the $30.00, probably not much more.… Full Review »

    I gave up on Spiderman games long ago, but after reading reviews for this game, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The game is fun,I gave up on Spiderman games long ago, but after reading reviews for this game, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The game is fun, mindless at times, but fun. The controls are awkward at times and the camera angles are aggravating but those little grievances are not enough to drag the game down much. The graphics are decent enough and the sound is good. This game will appeal to all spidey fans but if your expecting anything similar to Batman : Arkham City then you will be disappointed.… Full Review »
