Spider-Man 3 - PlayStation 2

Thank you

wicked game well done

yeah, okay so before anyone starts saying i'm a bad person for saying this game is good, i AM a glass half full guy. look no matter what you saw on YouTube i still think this game is good.(or at least good at the price i bought it 5-6 years after it came out. which was 4 bucks. okay so if you have seen anything on YouTube about this game for ps2, the graphics are not as bad as they look. and once you get into the game and realize some things like: i you hold still on a wall for a little bit he actually flips over and you're looking down and the city, the black suit is gotten after the third level, and spiderman actually gets more combos as you move through the game. but one important thing: if you're a glass half empty type, DO NOT compare this game to spiderman 2 ps2, it ruins it.compare it to spiderman 1 on the ps1, and you'll get along just fine. in fact, there has been a rumor going around that if you collect some things, you might get to play as venom........

Let me start off by saying that I fully agree with the mixed reviews. I fully enjoyed the game, but found many annoying things in it, as well. Will you like it? If you enjoyed Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man, then yes. Spider-Man 3 plays a lot like both games with respect to the third movie and a few other villains that are added just like in the previous Spider-Man games.The game feels very rushed--far too many loading screens (which not only take away from the game's pace, but also cuts-off a lot of dialog), a few glitches (landing on the ground right up against some buildings will make you fall through the ground and into nothingness causing the game to automatically reset/restart missions, people walking through objects), poor sub-missions (the "City on Alert" missions are easy, but tacky--delivering a pie to only later have to save the pie from being kidnapped? Are you kidding me?), and mediocre voice acting add to the bad reviews.The game's main plot follows the Spider-man 3 movie fairly close in terms of what to do and length of gameplay (movie plot only lasts for a few hours--far too short). There is a sub-plot as you follow the path of the Lizard. This sub-plot is about as lenghty as the main plot, but does add well to the game and gives you more bosses to battle. The only negative here with the Lizard in this game is that I am hearing that the fourth movie will be based on the Lizard as the main villain. That kind of eats at any Spider-man 4 the game ideas and originality.The game engine is familiar as the game-play is very similar to Spider-Man 2. A few things were taken out (sprinting, slow-mo spider-sense), but the added ability to fight in the black suit not only adds to the fun, but also adds to your strategy as you can't fight in the black suit all day or it will knock you out and cause you to fail your mission if you fight too much with it on at one time. Fighting is basic button mashing, but add-ones and upgrades are available to purchase with your hero experience points (sound familiar). The movie plot is obviously in the game, but you can pretty much go your own path and fight some of the other villains (like the Lizard) in the game whenever you choose.Graphically, the game looks quite good. It's a tad cartoon-ish, but Spider-Man is based off a comic book; therefore, personally, I didn't mind the looks of the game at all. Voice acting is good, with the exception of James Franco (Harry Osborne/Goblin). He needs a serious lesson in doing voice-overs. Cameras and controls are a tad rough at times, but if you didn't mind them in previous Spider-Man games, then you won't have a problem here, either.Also added is the timed action button sequences (ala RE4 or the God of War games) where a button symbol shows on the screen and you have to press that corresponding button as soon as it shows or you take damage. However, where it's a nice addition, it's not done well--you have what seems like all day to press the correct button, wait a minute, and then press another button. If these sequences were sped up to the pace like in the GoW games, then this would be a welcome addition. Since it's not done well, this just adds to the "game feels rushed" negatives.Overall, the game is quite solid. It was rushed to join the movie release, but it is enjoyable and worth a purchase. Take the good with the bad and you will enjoy yourself with Spider-man 3.
