Not every hero is super...
Story: okay every one whos seen the movie will know what this game follows. well yeah spiderman going emo spiderman losing emo spider man killing venom. It follows the movies plot well. But now theres ''side plots'' you got. The lizard, apocalypse, Arsenic candy, and a few others. your just trying to take these gangs and monsters out. It doesnt tell you how or why the streets of new york are over run by gangs. It doesn't follow the story TOO much which is good to me. Sometimes you will get annoyed that some of these side plots become redundant and tedious and in most cases not to much fun. Even sometimes they get insanely hard. where you have to fight 10 henchmen then when your nearly dead you fight the gang leader. You might want to have the blacksuit spiderman but no you have to eliminate a ton of gangs. When you finally get the black suit spiderman it doesn't make the missions much fun either.
Graphics: Wow i was amazed at the graphics but not in a good way. its really just horrible. this shouldnt be on store shelves in this condition. Characters in cut scenes are horrific. The only saving grace is the city when your swinging over it WITHOUT frame rate drops or annoying texture popping it is quite a sight. This game might not had such a great budget but come on it is just horrific. Sometimes when your lucky you will see some amazing lighting. it wont look like crysis but you do see a glimpse of a something good underneath its horrific exterior.
Gameplay: Gameplay wise its not broken but its not perfection. Fighting is unique to say the least. you can button mash and that will get you places but if you can master it more strength to you. It has a very bad combat system because you button mash to win most battles but if you take the time to study and perfect it you will most likely never die. i didnt master it besides a few favorite combos and even that will get you further then button mashing. In terms of black suit, red suit. theres not difference mainly. Black suit is only different because of ''rage''. Bash a few heads in and fill a bar. once the bar is filled you tap R1 and you start flashing red. Its ment to make him stronger and all that like a superhero steroid but really i couldnt see a WHOLE lot of change. You can buy one new character. The new goblin. it doesnt have a new story or missions all it does is let you fly around using six axis control. Even worse when you complete a mission it goes. Thanks spiderman we couldnt do it without you. Hey moron new goblin here! jeez. Random crimes are back and they seem less maybe too less. there is one random crime which is just plain horrible and dont know who it got into the full game. Theres a bank with 3-4 bombs you gotta disarm then and take them to the bomb squad. well that sounds easy! no you got 3 mins and with the bombs you move to fast BOOM! they blow up and your gone. Also when theres a random crime you cant go and do a mission. i found myself at king pins place ready to do a mission when a random crime comes up and the mission starter disappears. wow just wow.
Sound: okay sound in spiderman 3 isnt great. no game is great in sound and it doesnt change here. Spiderman when he shoots web it does make a sound similar to the movie so thats good and hits sound okay. You cant really say alot about sound for spider man its mediocre and sometimes sounds just sound odd.
New York's sound just doesnt seem brought out. It couldve been a whole lot better if they spent more time on the sound of new york.
Story:7.1
Gameplay:7.5
Graphics:4.4
Sound:5.1
Overall: 6
Closing statement: Spiderman 3 couldve been a whole lot better. Heck might have been honorable mention for adventure game of the year but it just falls flat on its face with its graphics, story elements and parts of its gameplay...
