Now this is what I'm talking about!!!
This game is really cool. I have not been able to put it down. I haven't completed it yet, but here it goes. I never had a chance to play Spiderman 2 on the PS2, but I know that this installation is 10 times exponentially more fun than the 1st SM (Spiderman). The free roam ability is reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto series along with the many missions. There are also sub missions where you have to stop crimes in progress while just swinging through the city by fighting against the different crime gangs. It says there are 42 missions. And these missions are very detailed & in depth I must add. I completed the 1st Lizard mission & the large underground sewer environment in this mission is awesome. I completed the 1st Scorpion mission which took place on an island fortress that was also very detailed & the graphics were great. I have unlocked the New Goblin playable character & I have only completed a couple of mission/races with him but the 6 AXIS control is really, really, cool. You actually steer the glider by articulating the controller. I REALLY LIKE THIS. The detail of NYC is very accurate down to the missing twin towers :-(. Times Square actually has the advertisement monitors on the side of the buildings that have real ads. What's really cool is the lighting & detail in these ads. The swing controls of SM are very good. My only complaints are that are when I was fighting the Scorpion there was "selective damage" to him in the fight. During the fight I was able to inflict damage, but at other parts of the fight my attacks just passed through him & did no damage. This happened a lot during the fight. WTF developers?! This was very annoying... Also there are instances where you have to pick up an object or interact with the environment by pressing the square button. Example, I was on a mission where the clock was ticking & I had to get rid of a bomb. When standing in front of the bomb the square action button appears on the screen. Well, if you are standing in the wrong spot & press the square button, SM will perform attacks instead. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING.... My last gripe would be & I don't feel that it could have been addressed because SM can climb walls & he is in weird positions sometimes, is the camera angles are confusing & you don't know where you are. I usually end up just jumping to the ground to figure out where I am. Other than these complaints the game is excellent. I am glad that Sony developers finally created a game for the PS3 that is worthy of the system's potential. This is what I call a next generation game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spiderman's web is a little slippery, May 6, 2007

By 

Eric Sherman "A True Reviewer" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Spider-Man 3 Collectors Edition (Video Game)

If you are a fan of the other two games you'll sure love this one.

Graphics:
The new next-gen graphic are amazing, to give you an idea, they are a lot like the movie sequences of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Storyline:
Follows the movie pretty closely, with two added things; Scorpion and five gangs of New York, each one has its own little back story. Although it will start off a little slow, the plot picks up after a while

Game-play and controls:
If you're used to spiderman 2 controls, you can pretty much forget them. Although the simple, basic layout is the same, all combos are different. But you'll get used to the new ones and move on. New York has been beefed up and you can now explore more of it. (you can also swim). The biggest change is you "spidy-sense", which you use to help you complete tasks by pointing out important things

Benefit of Special Edition:
YOU CAN PLAY AS THE HOB GOBLIN! You also have access to commentary and other such features.

Conclusion:
Pros:-Same great gameplay of spiderman 2
-Bigger new york
-Spidy-sense
-Play as the Hob Goblin
-Improved graphics

Cons:-Slippery controls
-Somewhat confusing camera view when climbing
-Farly steep learning curve (A.K.A. a hard game at a lot of points, especially for new or young gamers)

5.0 out of 5 stars Spidey..swings onto the playstation 3...In a BIG way !, May 5, 2007

This review is from: Spider-Man 3 Collectors Edition (Video Game)

" spider man, spider-man does whatever a spider can"... and Now hes Swinging onto the Playstation 3... following the blockbuster film..we now get to see the wall crawler's adventures in the next gen format..and let me tell you..its Incredible!...

the graphics are Phnominal...they are really detailed talking full advantage of the power of the ps3 spider-man has never looked better. then theres New york city itself..very detailed..well lit and huge(well its nyc what did you expect)

you have total freedom to swing around and check out the town, see the local wildlife(venom, and the lizard etc) snap some pics for jolly jonah..and stop an occasional crime or two.its all here in spider-man 3...plus lots of surprises..

the controls are tight,and responsive..activision upgraded the web swinging..and you can tell..its more fluid..and easier to navigate. but there are some minor issues such as the camera..sometimes it is more awkward than useful but thats like in the other spider man games as well..so its to be expected.. some people have said there are bugs in it and it feels rushed..i dont think so..you cant please everybody.

the core actors are back to voice their characters in the game such as tobey maguire (peter parker/spider-man) james franco(harry osborn/new goblin) as well as j.k. simmons( j. jonah jameson any scene with him is a winner and always cracks me up !) and lets not forget Bruce campbell as "the narrator" and your instructor(with his trademark comments) in the first training level.. having the actors do the voiceovers adds a quality touch to the game, and gives you that movie feeling.

there are many levels in this game, as well as the before mentioned surprises , such as being able to switch to any level you choose with the map of nyc(nice touch there) you can play through the game and EVENYUALLY meet up with Venom and the sandman or just jump around and snap some pics for the Bugle, chase down some crooks...take mary jane for a ride though the city..its all here.

the coolest features is having the Black costume..the alien symbiote..that enhances peter's powers making him more aggressive and stronger.. if you get the collectors edition..you also have the ability to play harry osborn the new goblin ( or green goblin 2 as hes known as in the comics) plus in the collectors edition you get a nice action shot from the film as well as the trailers, and web documentaries..good stuff to check out..

my only gripe about these 2 are that YOU HAVE TO UNOCK THEM..its misleading and once again treyarch/activision has it in small print inside the manual its very dishonest if you ask me.. just like the stunt they did with the "playable" venom back in the lack luster ultimate spider man... but this game is really good, so ill let it slide..it makes up for "usm" they have done a great job on all the movie games.

if your looking for a great spider- man game..and have a playstation 3 grab this title..your in for a wild ride.. THWIPP!!!
