Spider Man 3
Spider-Man 3 is bigger, bolder and better action as you become the famous superhero! Even the noblest hero has a dark side, and the rush of protecting New York lets you unleash it. This is Spider-Man like you’ve never seen him before. In his black suit, he’ll show off incredible agility, amazing durability and awe-inspiring web powers. But be warned – as you explore these new feelings and powers, you’ll struggle against the darkness that might tear his world apart.

4 Stars Spidey Rocks
This game is fun, addictive, but short. If you play it straight (morning to late night or even earlier) you will beat the game. However there are several difficulty levels and several character combinations which keep it interesting. Best part of the game (unlike the DS version) is that you can choose your sidekick and the story is much more developed.
5 Stars What’s the Problem With Spider-Man 3?
I don’t understand why there are so many bad reviews on Spider-Man 3 the game. When I started playing this game, I thought wow, this game is awsome. I flick my wrist and out shoots a web line! I thought to myself, finally a spider-man game that makes me feel like spider-man. But after reading a few of the reviews,it seemes that alot of people don’t like it because it’s nothing new. Well, fine then, but if your a Spider-Man fan, like I am, then you will love this game. I’ve beaten it like 3 times already and I play it over and over again.
Buy the game, I think it is totally worth it.
4 Stars Best Spiderman 3 Experience out of any console!
SM3 on the Wii has truly shown what the right minds with the right console can do. The game itself and the story may not have been all that great, but the web slinging with the Wii remotes was probably the most satisfying feeling I have had on the Wii. If you buy the 360,PS3 or PS2 versions you’re going to get the same game, with almost nothing different. The Wii version offers you an amazing control scheme that can’t be beat by any of the other consoles. If you really want to feel like spiderman swinging around the city, buy the Wii version!
3 Stars Fun in spots, falls short of expectations
pro:
-Bruce Campbell…nuff said.
-web swinging is fun and intuitive.
-good selection of spidey villains.
-being able to level up and choose new abilities.
con:
-the city is extremely bland. How are you supposed to scour for bonus items in a city that all looks vanilla?
-short story line.
-fighting system is extremely simplified and boring.
Could have been much better, sad to say not as interesting or fun as Spidey 2 or Ultimate Spidey, two games this one obviously raided heavily for ideas and mission designs.
2 Stars Disappointing
It’s no secret that like the film itself, the video game tie-in for Spider-Man 3 is a disappointment on the consoles. The Wii edition of the game is no different, and what makes it even more disappointing is the fact that the game’s attempt to make use of the Wii-mote is an ultimate failure. The game follows the plot of the film for the most part, as you play as Spidey in an open world New York and take on generic baddies as well as big time villains like Sandman, Venom, the New Goblin, and the Lizard to boot. The game attempts to make sue of the Wii-mote to swing through the city, which you’ll either enjoy or hate, which along with the sloppy combat controls, really mar what could have been otherwise solid gameplay. The game’s look is marred as well by an overly choppy frame rate combined with stiff character models. There are a few good points about Spider-Man 3 though, but they are few indeed. The game features voice acting from many of the principal actors from the film (including Tobey Maguire, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, J.K. Simmons, and Bruce Campbell who reprises his role as your video gaming guide) and swinging through New York City is still pretty fun. However, the repetitive gameplay gets boring, and the game has an overly linear feel to it as well. All that being said, Spider-Man 3 is worth checking out if you own a Wii and are a Spidey fan, but don’t expect anything great from it at all.
