  1. The DS version of Spider-Man 3 is a lot like the DS version of Spider-Man 2, but with a new, slick touchscreen interface that, while nice, does nothing to address the problems the last game had.

    After a couple of mediocre attempts to capture Spidey's movie magic on the DS, it seems that Vicarious Visions has finally gotten it right. [July 2007, p.95]
  3. As usual, Spidey delivers a decent handheld experience that will be great for kids.
  4. For gamers looking for something more substantial or impressive it has little to offer, but Spider-Man 3 DS betters the Wii, PS3 and 360 versions, without any need for their technical muscle and big-budget gloss.
  5. 60
    The game can be fun and rewarding and does a pretty decent job at not massacring a movie franchise, but can grow tiresome rather fast if the fighting bores you.

You can’t always tell but it’s hard not to be impressed by the scope when the camera pulls away and shows you the level you’re playing through. Full Review »

The fighting mechanics are decent, the bosses are genuinely hard to beat since most of them require fast thinking instead of mashing the punch button, and while there are too many subplots that don't tie into the main story at least they are fun to play. like i said considering what it's based on the game could have been much worse.
