Sort of like a parody of Spiderman 2. Ok Treyarch, where's the real Spiderman 3 game?

As i stated above, Spiderman 3 is like a parody of Spiderman 2. As in any good parody, all of the core elements of the original are there, but with some hilariously out of place elements. SM3 is plauged by glitches. One time, I was wall crawling when I realized that i had started to climb the wrong building, so i pressed down on the control stick. Instead of turning around and heading back down the building, the camera started to flip out and when it settled, Spidey was upside down and had his back facing the wall, his arms outstretched into the void. When i pressed down again, he started to wiggle around and climb down the building upside down and backwards. Another time I was in a race against the clock. "I'm finally going to get the gold," I thought. Not so! Suddenly, for no reason at all, Spider Man stopped walking across the rooftop and fell onto his side, where he put his hands and feet out in the air as if he was attempting to wall crall on air. He then proceeded to gyrate about for 5-10 seconds before standing back up, causing me to get a bronze medal. Still another time, I was web-swinging across a large bridge when suddenly Spider Man flew from the bridge, flipped upside down, and started to float around the city. Yeah. He was suspended approximately 3 or 4 stories in the air, upside down, and floating...until I tentatively hit the right trigger, causing him to fall and splash into a lake. There are more glitches, but I think you get the idea. By the way, all of those glitches mentioned have happened during the first day that I played the game. The rest of the game is almost as unpolished. The graphics look good from a distance, but when you see character models up close they turn out to look like hideous mutated versions of their real world counterparts. This brings Mary Jane down to a 7/10 on the hotness scale. But seriously, every character looks like absolute butt. Cars all look pretty good no matter how close you get to them, but there is an overwhelming number of taxi cabs in the city. One time I counted the number of taxis in the next 15 cars that drove by me. 11 of the cars were taxis, 4 were trucks. There isn't much sound in the game, but it really goes from good to bad. Peter and MJ sound good, and Jameson has some good and some bad moments. The pedestrians are either silent or voiced terribly. Even more baffling, though, is why nobody reacts to the things that Spidey does. I just finished beating the crap out of a giant mutant lizard army, and all you do is stare for a second before slowly walking away? Additionally, some of the achievements are really stupid. There is actually an achievement for falling off of a building 25 times. Why is falling off a building 25 times a good thing? It hurts you! Plus, all of your spider powers make it pretty tough to fall off of buildings. A mentally retarded baby could play this game through to completion without falling off of 25 buildings. Finally, combat boils down to nothing more than button mashing. So, with all of these flaws, how did the game manage to get a 6.7/10? Well for one thing, web swinging is still quite fun, collision problems or not. Photo taking missions are usually pretty fun, although some of them seem kind of impossible..not sure if this is due to glitches, or just bad game design. But the best, best, BEST thing about this game is the hilarity that ensues after the glitches. Of course, I'm only laughing at the glitches because I rented this game for a week. If you payed $60 and own this crap...well, the joke's on you.
