Description

Based on Sony Pictures Entertainments Columbia Pictures upcoming feature film, Spider-Man 3 allows players to experience the actions of heroic red-suited Spider-Man and, for the first time ever, his darker, more mysterious black-suited persona. Set in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City, the game gives players the freedom to choose their own gameplay experience through multiple movie-based and original storylines, fully integrated city missions and performance rewards including improved speed, combat maneuvers and agility. In Spider-Man 3, players draw upon Spider-Mans completely revamped combat abilities as they protect the city and defeat nemeses using expanded aerial fighting, finishing moves and dynamic webbing during missions and epic boss battles.

Welcome to the dark side For the first time ever, control the legendary black suit, which magnifies Spider-Mans strength, agility and durability. Punish your enemies with explosive new attacks and incredible upgrades, including fearsome room-clearers. All this power comes with a price, though, as players will find the black suit harder and harder to control. Will you be strong enough to make a heroic choice before your quest for vengeance turns the city against you?

Let freedom ring Go anywhere at any time in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City and get involved in whatever you want, whenever you want. Players decide how to proceed through the game and set their own goals. Should Spider-Man follow a plot twist, switch to an alternate storyline, fight off crime waves that threaten the city or explore vast interior and underground locations? You decide.

The city is your playground From towering skyscrapers to the vast new subterranean sewers and subways Spider-Man must patrol all of New York. Three criminal gangs and variety of Super Villains will be competing for your attention, taking hostages, stealing cars, harassing citizens, and creating havoc. Will you be able to save everyone?

Dont let the city go to the dogs Three vicious gangs have laid claim to the boroughs of New York and must be taken down. As Spider-Man brings these criminals to justice, the crime rate will drop in that section of town and city life will return to normal; if he doesnt, the streets will turn to chaos. These super thugs wont go down without a fight though. Their advanced AI will surround Spider-Man, grapple him, call in reinforcements, and do everything they can to retake their territory.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new combat system empowers players to perform suit-specific attacks and combo chains to defeat their enemies and complete challenges and missions. New animations, combos, and finishers make punch, kick, and web attacks more effective than ever while executing ground and air maneuvers.

Super Villains galore Experience multi-stage, dynamic boss battles against the headlining villains from the movie as well as a host of legendary comic book foes who all take advantage of their environments, their minions, and the large-scale destruction that their superpowers cause in trying to defeat Spider-Man.

Go, go gadget In addition to faster web-swinging, certain events and environments open up additional Spider-powers for you to control. Using Spider-Mans web abilities, he can catch falling objects including people and debris, fix hazards like broken train rails, barricade doors, and even slingshot from the tops of buildings for increased speed and huge air.

Spider-Man is growing up As players master Spider-Mans powers through natural progression and completion of missions and challenges, Spider-Man gains ability enhancements including improved web moves, swing skills, and amazing melee combos.

Reviews on Spider-Man 3 [Wii]

AJMouse on Spider-Man 3 [Wii], 22-05-2007

"Meh. I liked the movie a lot more! Again I shouldn't be whining about graphics, but again I am. When you compare this to a screenshot of the 360 version, for instance the pavement: on the Wii it's a plain area as to were it's very detailed on the 360. And you know you can expect this, but as this game is virtually the same on each console (at least that's what I think) when it comes to storymode, this is something you should really take into consideration when buying a version (and having the luxury to choose between consoles) of Spider-Man 3.

Slinging the web is done with a flick of the Wii-remote and pressing the B-trigger button. It depends on where you swing to, that is where our friendly neihbourhood Spidey will throw his web to. Slinging with your other hand is possible too, just flick the nunchuck to where you want it attached, press the Z-trigger button and go! During your swinging you can change the way you're facing as well. When I got to this part, I have to say I started enjoying the game.

So why a 4 then? I'm pretty sure I don't need glasses and I'm also very sure they couldve made the graphs better, or at least increase the drawing distance. Buildings popping up, textures appearing late: it sucks and it takes away too much from the experience. Swinging is fun, and it's probably the only thing you'll come back for if you have this game.

I have to say the story is pretty good (at the least a lot better than Spider-Man 1 or 2 (the games)), and the narrator is very funny at times. I loved his jokes.

Still, get this on a different console if you can. The slinging alone is not worth your buck."
