  1. However, the fact that Spider-Man 3 is late to the party, coupled with the PSP’s control limitations, keep this version from achieving the same success that the other versions achieved.
  2. Overall, unless you really need to have your Spidey on a portable, you're better off with the console versions here.
  3. Just a below-average game that looks dated, plays poorly, and probably isn't worth your time.

    As a comic book nerd, the liberties taken with the story and the meaningless tasks forced on our superhero frustrate to no end. I never felt like Spider-Man in this game.

    It just about beats sitting in an empty room, which is my new scoring standard for movie games. [Feb 2008, p.98]

    Spider-Man 3 was okay, for about five minutes. Shortly after, it became a series of painful stabs to the soul, culminating in a single realisation: Activision has put out the worst Spider-Man game of recent times. [Issue#162, p.94]

    Zwar nicht das beste, aber für Psp Verhältnisse ein Solides und gutes Spiel

    The only reason I am giving this game this type of rating is because I have a certain nostalgia for it. If not the rating would be much lower.

    A port of the Wii/Ps2 version and probably much better if I'm being honest, by virtue of it being on hardware that is actually congruous withA port of the Wii/Ps2 version and probably much better if I'm being honest, by virtue of it being on hardware that is actually congruous with how it looks and plays. Whereas it was nearly depressing to look at on the aforementioned home consoles after the likes of Spider-man 2.

    In terms of when this came out, it was a full console level open world Spiderman game on a portable device only a few short years after S2 even showed open world spiderman was possible.

    That said it's a tad janky. '6.5' , I mean it's a more than modest feat barring quality assessment, but it would have been 5.5 on Wii and 5.0 on PS2.
