So I tried playing SPIDER-MAN 3 in 2023... 

Spider-Man 3 is a goofy game with lots to love, but it all started in 2002. Our Retro Rebound on the first ever Raimi Spider-Man game is now live! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4tEDglZdtrw.html

I always loved how weirdly consistent Spider-man games were compared to other heroes. Even the "bad" games were still pretty high quality and a good time.

This game got me through one of the worst periods of my childhood so I loved it

My favorite thing in the 360 version was because you could swim, you could just yank the enemies into the water.

I find it impressive that the PSP version is a direct port of the PS2 version, whereas Spider-Man 2 on PSP was more like the first movie game with a level based structure. Probably also why 3 doesn't even match 2's levels of visual quality.

Will always have a genuine fondness and love for this game. My grandmother, who is sadly no longer with us, bought me this as a gift when I came home from school back in 2007. Now as a 30 year old man, whenever I see this game it always reminds me of her.

I don't care what anyone says or how much THAT scene of Peter dancing gets mocked and memed to hell and back, I LOVED the movie this game is based on!

Played the PS2 version of the game as a kid and I always enjoyed that you could switch between regular and black suit basically at any time. It did seem like a downgrade in a lot of ways, compared to the previous game, but the black suit was badass.

Also, the PS3 version had an exclusive as well. You could play as Harry/ New Goblin in that one.

Spider-Man 3 the movie and the game are underrated gems that need more appreciation instead of hated

Dude, I LOVE this game. It is so much fun to mess around and just chill travelling through the city with the banger of a soundtrack beating in the background listening to really satisfying web SFX. The city is the most vibrant of ANY Spider-Man game to date, no contest. You can go into the subway and swing through it, you can enter buildings (some of which where you did old missions and some of which where you can just chill out and have fun), you can enter your apartment, you can fling yourself across the entire cities from chimneys, etc. . The Harry Osborn fight is somehow one of my favourites in Spider-Man games. I mean, the starting point isn’t amazing, but once you jump off the glider it becomes so much goddamn fun. You can travel ANYWHERE in the city while fighting the Goblin, and it’s amazing. I made so much spectacular spectacle when swinging through the city and narrowly avoiding his pumpkin bombs like one cool as shite set-piece, it’s just sick as hell. You can even ENTER THE DAILY BUGLE AND WATCH HARDY OUTSIDE, GOODNESS!!! The game is just so much fun to mess around with, a lot of the missions don’t take place in iconic locations of NYC, you go to sewers, you go to Chinese museums, churches, a high-tech laboratory (Mecha-Bio-Con? I think?), etc. . I don’t know how but it’s just so much fun to mess around with his game and exploit design details that probably weren’t intended… I mean, the Venom fight at the end was also fun ‘cuz I’d intentionally jump off the construction building and swing around it while watching Venom try to keep up. Yeah, I love this game.

The final boss fight in this game actually destroyed my ability to develop confidence in life after being so demoralized.

This was the spider-man game I grew up with right after Spider-Man 2 on PC. Again, I must stress : ON PC, because my parents wouldn't ever let me own a playstation or any console on account of their thought of them being mind-numbing for kids. This game was like a masterpiece in comparison and I lived my childhood holding firmly on that belief

Hey if you're going to do games with different versions, maybe Force Unleashed could be one for you to review in the future. As I myself had the Xbox and the Wii version and there was a lot of differences, also on a personal note, the Wii's was my favorite.

This game is notorious for the button cutscene events

Speaking of the empty subway systems, anyone felt like playing through those sections as a child or teen were kind of creepy in a way that probably exceeded the intended apprehension of having to go fight the Lizard? Like freaking Spider-Man having to descend into a liminal space, a trek into Hell itself in the form of the uncanny underbelly of New York. But then bam for some reason there's currently a massive drill machine operating in the sewers just recklessly carving a path through while Spider-Man has to run away from it. Truly odd vibes.

Great review. I remember playing as a kid and thinking getting the black suit was the coolest thing ever. And I liked how when you used it too long it’ll basically take you over. Can’t wait to see what Insomniac does with the black suit!

I remember playing the PS2 version back in my high school days and finding soooo many glitches and bugs in the game, it was hilarious xD

I loved this game as a teen,not so much the XBox version but the ps2 version I was absolutely obsessed with mostly because of the sound production and how the black suit was used,even though the graphics look like some of the worst I've seen there's still a great deal of nostalgia,I think the game is just about good enough to have a remake on today's technology and consoles like the ps4,ps5,Xbox series X and maybe even the PC

I imagine the reason the PS2 version mimics Spider-Man 2 a bit more, is because they probably used Spider-Man 2 as a copy/paste template to make Spider-Man 3 for PS2. Where as the 360 version didn't have a previous game to copy it's 'game' from. It was probably less work to just leave things in on the PS2 version, than it would have been to remove stuff. The 360 version probably took some basic engine stuff and whatnot from the PS2 Spider-Man 2, but it was most likely built from the ground up. It happens a lot in the portable game side of things. Where you'll get a whole new game for a console, but the DS port of the same game, just copy/pastes the previous DS game, but remakes it to match the new game's story and world.

I just absolutely loved how you could feel the generational difference. I played SM3 on the PS2 initially and I was in love. When I got it on PS3, it was a completely different experience. Bigger world, better cutscenes, my only complaint was how the black suit was handled. Have such fond memories of both of these games.

I'm pretty sure this game had one more really good feature. When you would take the symbiote suit off after each use it becomes more difficult to take it off

I want a really high skill ceiling for swinging in spider man 2, give me loads of different skill sets, web climbing, swinging along the floor, zipping from car to car etc. Give me mortal combat level combos combined with unity level precision parkour while still being able to swing basic if you don't want too get too deep in the controls. The extrinsic motivation too play would take its replay ability off the charts

They made buildings small in Marvel's Spider-man, Spidey can barely fit in a floor, whereas Spider-Man 3's buildings look a bit more like what real life would look like

I actually Played This When I Was A Kid Holy Crap Nostalgia 😂😢

The Spider Man 3 on the Ps2 was my jam, literally one of my most played games in my childhood.

Seeing spiderman 3 ps2 gameplay just unlocks a memory. I played that religiously because it was one of the few I could afford as a kid. Good times

I really enjoyed Spider-man 3. Imo the ps2 version was better but I enjoyed both. It wasn't as good as 2 but still lots of fun, maybe it's just my bias since I am a HUGE Spider-man fan lol. I've played just about all of the Spider-man games except for edge of time, been trying to find a copy for a decent price. Also I like how ur dressed up for the video haha 😂

Bruh i NEVER see ANYONE talk about Spider-Man 3 on the Wii... the webswinging was SOOOOO COOL, because you could control what hand you were swinging from flicking either the wii remote or the nunchuck. That ACTUALLY made you feel like you were web swinging but NOBODY ever talks about this.....

I've literally spent the last year (and will spend the next year) playing through all of the Spider-Man games. I am literally editing a Spider-Man 3 video AS I TYPE THIS. And what do I see on my RU-vid homepage? The same thing happened while I was making my USM video. Dammit. Oh well, at least I know other passionate creators are making awesome content about the game. This was a great video

“Sorry that was the suit talking” 😂😂😂

in SM3 on 360/PS3/PC you can actually do air tricks, the game just doesn't tell you right away or give you the chance to buy them like in SM2 on PS2, I don't remeber the exact combinations, but prob a quick google search could do the trick I just remember that the only thing that was "bad" about the air tricks is that there's like 4 tricks and that's it, not much variety

LOL at the PS2 version. That's the version I played when I was a little kid. The visuals aren't awful imo, but that framerate looked pretty rough on the PS2 version.

Unironically one of my most favorite Spider-Man games. A definitive guilty pleasure of mine.

You can hang people from street lights in Spider-Man 3 too, I know that because my favorite thing to do was hang enemies from the lights and beat them like piñatas

You can still hang enemies on street posts in Spider-Man 3

This was my top 1 favourite Spider-Man game back in the day, top 2 being Spider-Man 2 on PS2. I remember when i was a kid, some mission was incredibly hard and it took me days or even weeks to pass. But it was so rewarding, especially when you learned how to do combos and get your hands on the black suit and start destroying anything. Web swinging was good but not groundbreaking like Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Man 2018. Overall controls is pretty hard to get used to though and my only grudge is spider sense is now a bar that slowly run out and not something you can use whenever you like. The soundtrack is good too. I love how they added in villains and story sections that wasn't in the movie thus making it more interesting and not predictable. I miss it, might have to go dust off my PS3 to play this again soon.

SpiderMan 2 is going to rock my socks off maybe even my underwear when I play it at the E3 booth.

Now THIS is what I am looking for!! Hahaha what are the odds that I'm searching for a PS3 version of this game in 2023 and this video pops up lol. Ive had the ps2 version since It came out back in the day but never got around to playing the PS3 version.

Ah, yes... "The Room" of Spider-Man movies.

You don’t know true fear until you were at the Green Lizard final boss and you had to spam triangle to lift up the levers while he was right behind you

Ultimate spiderman is the best ps2 spidey game imo

I enjoyed the Spider-Man game series as a kid, especially growing up & seeing & having the new ones come out that I could play. Yes there’s flaws in all of them, but boy what I’d do to go back as a youngin & play the ps2 versions

As a guy who played only 2 spider man game in his life being the insomniac games seeing the older ones are interesting to me and its very cool to see what changed over the years

It's funny because this game actually featured The Lizard which was originally supposed to be the villain of Spider-Man 4 but ended up in the first Amazing Spider-Man movie

PS2 players would remember that as time went on with the black suit, the light attacks become heavy attacks and you had to take it off because of it

3:53 Afrer recently watching Spider-Man 3 again, I had the same reaction. "I can't believe this exists". If it wasn't for the huge box office success of SM2, we never would have got the third movie, which aged like fine wine. It wasn't as good as the first 2, but still awesome because we got another Raimi Spider-Man movie. The part where Harry is chasing Peter on the glider is amazing. The game was also pretty decent. Good times.

U can hate spiderman 3 as much as u want but u can't deny that the level design in this game was just "Something else"

Matty idk what you’re talking about Miles’ swing animations have way more going on than those tricks in Spider Man 2 that you mashed X to do. Also, what about those added to the actual web swinging? To me it was definitely the speed of the swinging that made 2’s so good

I remember hearing a rumor that you could be venom on the ps2 version if you collected all the collectibles, so I literally went everywhere around the city looking for these things

12:27 You could hang people from street posts in spider man 3 also

Please make a video on Ghost Rider PS2. 🔥 💀

The lizard and kraven missions were so fun. Thats what sticks out about this game. I remember the different gangs like those lolli pop girls lmao

You're 100% right about prices going up. This game was 10 bucks some years back and I always put it aside. Thankfully found one for $15 on eBay compared to others that are $40 and more. Had a chance to buy Web of Shadows once for $10 and I didn't! Now it's like $80-$100.

I remember playing Spiderman 3 with my PS2 as a kid and thinking... woah this looks amazing xD

I had the PSP version growing up, it's a lot like the ps2 version. I always really liked it, but obviously it's nothing compared to Spider-Man 2018.

I caught game stop slipping today for shattered dimensions for ps3 $20 and I had my $5 certificate lmao couldn’t be happier and it was cib

I remember on PlayStation 3 version you could play as the new goblin

i remember wishing i had harry as the goblin on the 360 version 😭

12:14 You can do that in Spider-Man 3 on Xbox 360, PS3, PC as well, and it's more fun because you can hang one enemy to multible street lights.

The fact that technically the 360 version and the ps4 insomniac version are only one hardware generation apart is astonishing.

I have this weird obsession with Spider-Man 3 that I didn’t even know I had until this year. I was rewatching the Raimi trilogy and playing all the games set in that universe, and for whatever reason, Spider-Man 3 stuck with me the most. The PS2 version is definitely the better of the two, but the PS3 version has this “so-bad-it’s-good” feel to it.

It’s a fun game a true childhood gem to be exact.

i literally grew up with this game it probably my favoritei played it on ps 3

Theres a build of spider-man 4 which can be played using an emulator, sadly it got cancelled when the movie got cancelled

Spider-Man 2 was nostalgia!!! That was the best Spider-Man game till this day!

Dude i was 7 when I played this game. And I remember the video spiderman found of the doctor becoming a lizard scared the crap out of me.

I'm upset you didn't talk about the amazing soundtrack; the musical scores in this game are phenomenal. The music juggles gracefully between orchestrated, tense, dramatic tracks and techno, action focused, exciting ones, sometimes even both in one song. And the city tracks- don't even get me started with the city tracks: they're peak cinematographic performances; the motifs, chord and musical progression that sound straight out of a movie- I just cannot appreciate enough the music.

I remember playing sm3 on the ps3 even had one of those holographical cards with Peter punching sandman through his stomach damn miss those days ngl

I was so hyped for this game but when I got it I could only get about 2/3rds the way through before it was consistently crash and freeze, even tried another copy, so never got to finish it.

Spider man 3 the game is like The room of spider man games but thanks to it we got the best one of all time afterwards(Web of Shadows).

I love Spider-Man 3 for PS2, I didn't have SM2 when I was a kid cause I couldn't find it, so this was my first Spidey game and it was a great start, being able to web swing and also having the black suit, also it had a great skill tree

Man I remember the ps3 version way back when the movie came out lol, while it may not be a really good game I still remember spending long nights on the weekends playing and having a pretty good time

it has the best combat system so far, nothing will change my mind - lots of various combos instead of tapping two buttons

Loved this game so much and still do, are you able to buy this game on xbox store or can you buy the disc and play it on the Series X?

I'm glad somebody is taking this approach to reviewing some games from our childhoods, i loved sm 3 ps3 game and I replayed it even after sm ps4 and miles morales

I’m glad this is your number one watched video 🙌🏻

😍 I’m sorry but you look good in that spidey suit!

Matty, didn't know this channel existed bud. long time sub on the other one.

5:05 classsic animal bites in cd cases, damn i miss 80s.

When I got the game back in 2007(ps2 version) I always thought that the ps3 version was better than the ps2 just because of the graphics,next gen game and quick time events but now that I have played both games throughout the years I can say the ps2 version was the superior one 😎

I remember the webs during swinging actually had physics. Like if you attach to a building and your web hits a pole or something you begin to swing off that pole or it can even interrupt your swing. Made you think a little about where you wanted to shoot the web. The newer ps4/miles morales i think dont have that and it bums me out :/

The line "fear in my enemies eyes"... I know EXACTLY where the computer took the sounds for the word "eyes" from. Cus Pewds has never stretched the word "eyes". Unlike the word "ass")))

ive never played the xbox 360 version of spiderman 3 but i remember playing the ps2 version so much.

in spider man ps4 while swinging you do more tricks by doing more inputs on the analog stick. full trick list in pause menu

I got this game in high school. I didn't have it long before I left my home and my dad's PS2. I remember Spiderman 2 a lot more. There was also a PS1 game just called Spiderman that I played over and over when I was younger, mostly because of how charmingly goofy Venom waa in it.

This is the first game i ever pre ordered. Turned out i really didn't need to

I played this game on my 360 alot and i still love it and i still have it. I think I'll find it and play it again

Never seen any videos of this dude before. But I saw the title and had to like this video right away

Despite the studio interference with this movie it still manages to get the message across at the end and the credit song perfectly goes with the movie as the previous songs go with their movies. At this point the entire trilogy is a meme

Everyone grew up with spiderman 2 but i grew up with this game and I never noticed morbin morbius was in this game lmao

Does Morbius say "it's morbin time" in the game?

Should have gotten the wii version instead of the PS2. The web swinging with the motion controls was so awesome

12:15 in the 360 version you can hang webbed up enemies from light posts!

This game has some pretty difficult boss battles, especially that second round of fighting Kraven. I always did that glitch to play as Peter Parker, where you purposely fail the daily bugle side mission by going back inside the bugle.

Man I was lucky to play the PS3 version of Spider-Man 3 which I got to experience the biggest meme first time and I just couldn't stop laughing at it lol

I really loved the fact in the ps2 version that the more you wore the black suit the harder it was to take off. In my opinion there hasnt been a single bad spiderman game (all the movie adaption games got overhated they really werent that bad) I honestly just been getting cracked spiderman games (for the older games) bc no way am I sending 220$ for a xbox 360 game thats just wild.

Hey Matty😃! I was wondering if you could possibly do a review from your perspective(if you haven't already)on Dark Messiah Might and Magic. Its made by Arkane who are known for their Dishonored games. I loved Dark Messiah even if it was buggy and had its glaring flaws

6:16 You can do a whole lot more than rolls and flips in MM, you just need to know the right button combos

I wonder...I had Spider-Man 2 on PS2 back in the day and I absolutely loved that game. I remember it being one of those games you expected nothing from it being a movie tie-in game and it just blew everyone away with it being far better than it had any business being, so playing Spider-Man 3 was a no brainer. But I played it on my brothers 360 at the time as I no longer had my PS2, and I remember the carry over gameplay elements from SM2 were still there and still fun...but something about the game was just...boring. It wasn't bad per se, it just didn't elicit that same level of "I can't put this down" like SM2 did. And I wonder now if it has something to do with playing the next gen version at the time instead of the PS2 version, which I didn't know they were that different until now.
