 The Difinitive Spiderman Experience! April 30, 2008

I've played every 3D spiderman game since PS2 and this outshines all of them in every aspect. the slow motion ability alone puts this one ahead of the others, but there's so much more that contributes to its greatness.
you never really know what's going to happen next. from the random crimes ranging from retrieving a stolen purse, to tracking down and stopping an armored car thats been jacked. the missions are just as various, full of classic Spiderman characters. you can also do photography missions for the Daily Bugel.
outside of the movie's storyline are 9 different series of missions, and side races and crime activities you can start any time you're not in a mission. its this variety and randomness that boost the entertainment department through the roof for fans of superhero games.
the graphics, while not the best on the system, are impressive given the size of the world around you (vertically and horizontally) and the fact that there's no load times between areas. the city is huge. spiderman himself looks fantastic, but normal human character models lack detail and are a little blocky in some cases.
the controls/gameplay at their core are similar to Spiderman 2, but enhanced to near perfection. its the first game in a long time that actually had me wanting to learn and memorize all the combos and abilities. the slow motion effect was a genius addition. spidermans speed is his greatest attribute in combat, and for the first time in a game, it gets some attention. boss battles(although still frustrating at times) are much more manageable thanks to your extreme speed.
never before has a game made you feel so much like the hero you emulate. an amazing achievement in its subgenre.
**to anyone interested in the New Goblin download pack, be warned you cant get off the board, and his attacks are pretty limited. he has no missions outside of races. you can solve random crimes though. the exploration options (and flight speed) added through him are worth it though. you can fly so high above the city. amazing is the only word for the view from up there.
The Best of the Three Games Easily! May 5, 2007

Simply put, this game is awesome! There is no other word to describe this. If you enjoyed Spider-Man 2 the game, imagine it multiplied by 100. The city is bigger, but that isn't the most impressive thing. You no longer have to get a certain amount of points to progress to the next chapter like you had to do in the second game. There are no chapters. Instead, you go to the map and choose which mission you want to do, and each mission is different but always involves saving people, and that is always fun. Also, there are times when crime will break out while you are swinging, and as Spider-Man, it is your job to stop it! All of these things makes the game last longer, and also makes it a little more real.
Needless to say, the graphics for the game are excellent. I don't know how they compare to other systems, but for X-Box 360, they beat any version of the previous Spider-Man games when it comes to what it looks like as well. The city looks beautiful and Spidey looks cool during the story and swinging through the streets. Which brings me to another different aspect to this game that is a cool addition. During parts of some stories, you actually get to act it out instead of just watching. You get to participate! This is done by pushing the A button, and the X for example during the fight sequences when it tells you to. If you mess up, no worries, it gives you as many chances as you need to finally get the timing and sequence right.
Overall, this game is just fun. From side missions such as defusing bombs or giving a ride to MJ through the city as she tells you how much she is having fun, this game just beats any other Spidey game so far. It has a lot to offer, and you will enjoy this game.
Spider-man 3 Xbox 360 and Ps3 April 10, 2007
Jeff Carter (Perry, Ga United States)
Treyarch took a great game like Spiderman 2 and made it even better with Spiderman 3.This game has a lot that spiderman 2 didn't like:
1)Swimming Thats right you can swim in the lakes and rivers and also the sewers.
2)Subways and Sewers in freeroam This is a major improvement over Spiderman 2 which didn't even have these in freeroam.This is part of the much bigger city that this game contains.
3)Better Random Crimes There is more of a variety you still have muggings,gang fights,and road rage missions but there is more variety and even with the missions you have to chase cars you don't bang on the car anymore you punch the guys hanging out of the window then you either stop the car by opening the trunk and distroying or webbing up the engine or tearing the doors off.
4)A bigger city overall Not only are the subways and sewers accesible but the city is far larger.Example Spiderman 2 had only 1 bridge Spiderman 3 has 6 however only 1 goes out to an island.Note:The ps2/wii has only 1 bridge but that version is very different from 360/ps3.
5)Graphics Spiderman looks better then he ever has before when playing on next gen as do buildings and other surroundings.There is also a lot more traffic and more detail in the people.As good as the graphics looked on spiderman 2 they look antimated compared to these.Sp 3 graphics look much more relistic.
6)Buildings are higher.The Empire State Building for example is higher then it is in Spidey 2.
7)Some Buildings are enterable in freeroam once you beat the story.
8)Skydiving There are several skydiving missions from several buildings one of which is the Empire State Building.These are fun and they show the beauty of the city when dropping from such high altitudes.Why you skydive there is an opera song with some unknown singer.It's appropiate for the skydive.The skydive missions are really pretty at night.
9)Bomb Tours Some of the story missions have it were you have to dismantle bombs but you can also do it in freeroam if you want to.These are fun challenges.
10)Gang fight challenges.At anytime when you get ready you can go clean up gangs and see how fast you can do it for rewards by pulling up the map and going to challenges.There are 3 gangs The Apokilipse,Candy Aresonic(Sexy Girl Gang)and The Dragontails(These are the toughest gang to fight.)
There are 10 missions in all and the bosses you fight are Calos The Madbomber Lizard,Scorpion,Rhino,Kingpin and Kraven as well as the movie villins Sandman,Venom and New Goblin.You also have the gang bosses which there are 3.In freeroam there is so much to do like random crimes,daily bugle missions etc.At some point in the game you aquire the black suit which is great.It features some moves that do more damage and the swinging is faster as well as the jumping.You eventually lose the black suit toward the end of the story but once you finish the game you get to play all the way thru again in the black suit.You also still have the red suit.You switch between the 2 in the characters menu.You have a second save point once beating the game.Also the Ps3 version will let you dowload the New Goblin.It's only 5.99 but he is fun to play around with in free roam and he can go higher then spiderman.He can actually go way over the highest buildings.Spiderman 3 has also added photomissions some of which you will do in the Daily Bugle and Dewolfe missions but also in the Lizard 1 and one of the Candy Aresonic Missions.Bruce Campell is still doing the narration and training.
Subway and Sewer Locations
These are hard to find when you first buy this game because they are not on the map.However you learn were they are by looking at buildings on the map close to the location.
First off The Conners Lab Sewer.This is the only sewer in freeroam but you can get to it from 2 locations.The first way is to go to the Garment District on the map.You will see a short fat building.There is a subway entrance behind it.Go down the subway and to the left.Take the stairs on the right down.Once in the train station turn right.Swing until you see a large hole in the wall on the Left side.Go in the hole and go all the way to the end and you see a manhole.You will be prompted to mash keys on your controller.Once you open it go down.You will see another hole go down it.Adjust your camera and run to the end of the platform.You can then jump off into the sewer and start swimming.If you swing or swim far enough you will come to the end and see 2 holes in the wall above.These lead to Conners Lab which you can enter.This sewer only features small waterfalls as opposed to the big sewer at Morningside Drive were the Lizard 2 and Conners 2 mission is which feature tha large waterfalls.Unfortuanly the Morningside Sewer is only available in storymode.Now from the Lincoln Subway the Conners sewer is on the Right side of the wall instead of the Left.The right side is where you'll find the hole in the wall at Lincoln but it goes to the same sewer.
Grand Cental Station Subway
This building is located between the Empire State Building and Christler Building and there is a tall building behind it.This is the only building that has a subway in it.The other subways are in the street.Look for the short wide building on the map with a tall one behind it.Grand Central is white.There is a door you enter.Go to every door till you find the one that opens.
Garment District Subway
On the map the short fat building.The subway is behind it.
Lincoln Subway
On the map you will see a short fat building behind Central City Park.Behind the building is the subway.
Lennox Subway
Behind and to the West of the Thoubourough Bridge.If you can't find it go on the bridge and come back down it looking to the left.You will see a building meeting the end of the bridge.Look straight left and you will see the subway.
Harlom Subway
You will see these buildings with green roofs.In front of the first one there is a subway at the street intersection.
City Hall Subway
You will see a industrial park with buildings in the grass.On the left side out from the grass there is a subway.
There are more but that's all I'll list.Once you know where to look on the map their easy to get to.If you can't find them you can always get to them from the Grand Central Station Subway.The subway itself is done well you can even enter the mens and womens restroom.Some of the womens restrooms have tokens in them.There are also tokens hidden in other parts of the subway.There are trains that run thru it as well as abandoned subways.
Notes of interest
The balloon,hospital,saving men from falling and rescuing people from a sinking boat are not in this game.You also can't catch a helicopter to gt to Liberty Island like you could with Spidey 2.
Once you beat the game twice you can't start another game unless you create a new profile.Once you start a new profile you can switch between your 2 profiles and play your saved black or red spidey or the new game on your other profile.There is no need to delete your saves.
The Cineractives are cool and once you get the bosses health down you do a cinematic which makes it look like your really watching the movie.They can be stressful thou because if you don't nail them you have to start over and if your health is low it you will die and have to start the whole mission over.
After beating the game go into the menu and the arenas section.There are several differnt locations you fight in.
Something I'd like to see in the next game are the Morning Side sewer in freeroam where you can open the manhole.An even bigger city with Coney Island and also a way to get to Liberty Island and the other 2 in this game.Also I was hoping to play as Venom in this game but you don't get to play as him.I hope this will be corrected in Spiderman 4.
I hope Sega will look at Spiderman 3 and do The Incredible Hulk game like this one.Imagine the Hulk being able to swim and go into subways and sewers.
I recommend this game as well as Spiderman 2.
best game ever May 25, 2007

 A fun game..,but not the best spiderman I have played. July 3, 2007

This game is advertised as being absolutely huge. There are sewers and subways and of course the huge city underground. There are 42 missions, most of which are very fun. There are races, they are pretty boring, hard, and monotonous. There bomb runs where you play mini games to defuse bombs, and combat tours killing so many baddies. Bomb tours are my favorite.
It still feels like they don't take advantage of the huge enviroment they created. The fighting and camera work is so so. If you only get to play one spiderman game-make sure it isn't this one, go for Ultimate Spiderman where you can actually play Venom, but this is a close second.
