    A decent enough action-adventure in the vein of GTA and Crackdown. Spider-Man's web-slinging abilities are depicted very well. Go for the Xbox 360 version, the rest are not worth your time. [June 2007]
  2. If you really, really love Spider-Man and have a high tolerance for dismal graphics and repetitive gameplay and the PS2 is the only game system you have in the house, then go ahead and check this out...maybe as a rental. Or get the NDS version. You'll have infinitely more fun.
  3. Spider-Man 3's biggest problem is that it has a camera and framerate that makes the game nearly unplayable.

    While the controls on the PS2 are easily the best out of any of the other console incarnations, they still can't save this game from succumbing to it own horribly boring repetition.
  5. With downright ugly graphics, minimalist music, an underwhelming use of voice acting and some of the sloppiest controls ever, keeping this last-generation version of the game in one's collection can only be justified if they lose the receipt.

    Despite a huge citiy and a great swinging mechanic with which to get through it, Spider-Man 3 is repetitive and disappointing. [June 2007, p.90]

    The only decent fights and objectives that are there follow the main storyline like a stalker - everything else is just busywork filler. [July 2007, p.112]

    Totaly overrated, a complete downgrade from Spider-Man 2. The graphics are worse than Spider-Man 2! It also lacks the ragdoll physicsTotaly overrated, a complete downgrade from Spider-Man 2. The graphics are worse than Spider-Man 2! It also lacks the ragdoll physics Spider-Man 2 had, the citizens look like giant bugs, when you go to the Sky the game looks like Star Fox, for snes! This is just a rushed game for a horrible movie, i rather play Sonic next Gen or SuperMan 64. Full Review »

    Good game, decent graphics although with some drops in framerate.
    The story is not exactly like the one in the movie but it has more content.

    The story is not exactly like the one in the movie but it has more content. Just considering the main story missions, this one can expand quite a bit with the mechanic of fighting gangs of criminals.In my opinion this mechanic should be more fun but it is somewhat boring, each of these missions seem like a copypaste and there are many

    Чисто из-за воспоминаний ставлю 7 баллов. Игра очень посредственна и однообразна, на паутине пошмалять- ниче так .Чисто из-за воспоминаний ставлю 7 баллов. Игра очень посредственна и однообразна, на паутине пошмалять- ниче так .
