Many say that this is the worst Spider-Man game, but many also say it's underrated. Which side is true?

Spider-Man 3 is a very unlucky product. Its movie was panned upon release, and its game suffered an even worse fate. The movie and the game share a surprising amount of similarities, and not just in plot points; ironically that’s where they differ the most. It’s in their strengths, weaknesses, critical reception, and retrospective praise that the Spider-Man 3 game is almost identical to its counterpart. Both products are following a critically acclaimed movie and game, and both severely failed to meet expectations. We will return to this parallel later, but for now I want to frame the game and explain how the critical acclaim of Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man set expectations for Spidey games going forward.
Spider-Man 2 delivered the, at the time, best swinging we had ever, all while looking great for the time, telling a solid story, and being hailed as the best for years to come. While Ultimate Spider-Man didn’t revolutionise the character like Spider-Man 2 did, it was a great game, and one many, myself included, remember fondly. So when Spider-Man 3 released, fans were obviously disappointed, and no pun intended it was the black sheep of the series, being the but of jokes in many of my videos. But each time I made a joke regarding this game, there were people in the comments telling me that the game isn’t that bad; so here I am, ready to try the game for the first time in a while, and as is often the case with these games that are initially panned but retroactively deemed an underrated gem, the truth is that both sides have valid points. Yes, this game looks rough most of the time, yes the story isn’t very interesting, and yes, the gameplay is not as fluid as Spider-Man 2, but the game is also relatively competent in all those facets, and it has some fun boss fights. The biggest problem with Spider-Man 3 is that Spider-Man 2 does just about everything better. The same was true for Ultimate Spider-Man, but that got a pass because it wasn’t a sequel, and it had its own very respectable strengths. One of this games strengths, just like the movie, is how unbelievably cheesy it is, and there are enough “so bad it's good” moments here that justify at least trying the game. With Marvel's Spider-Man 2 just around the corner, I want to go back to yet another game where the symbiote is centre stage and see what went wrong, and where treyarch went right. So with all that said, let’s take a look back at this, brace yourselves, 16 year old game, and figure out if Spider-Man 3 is truly an underrated gem, or if its disregard is warranted.
The first thing many will notice about Spider-Man 3 is that it looks worse than a PS2 game, don’t believe me? Look at Spider-Man 2; and here's the kicker; this is a PS3 game. Yea, a poor start to say the least, and it doesn’t improve for the PS2 version of the game. We will be focusing on the PS3, XBOX 360, and PC version of the game because it’s the one most are familiar with and it’s the game with the most content, but I seriously wouldn’t blame someone for opting for the last generation version instead. The PS2 version, while having less content, trims the fat from the PS3 version, and while it may not look as nice, it is still a fine enough game, even including its own black suit mechanic that we will talk about later. But let’s stay focused on the PS3 version, because oh man does it start poorly.
Spider-Man has a lot of bad games, but it seems many consider Spider-Man 3 to be the worst Spiderman game. This is where Spiderman 3 the movie and the Spider-Man 3 game are very similar. The Spider-Man 3 PS3 game follows Spider-Man 2 not to be confused with Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 that is to be released soon as of this Spider-Man 3 Review. This Spider-Man 3 Analysis will not talk much about the Spider-Man 3 PS2 version. Venom in the Spider-Man 3 Movie had his issues but his appearance in this, the worst Spider-Man game, warrants analysis, especially when Venom might appear in the best Spider-Man Game, and no I don't mean Ultimate Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire, or Bully Maguire does great here compared to Spider-Man 2. The Spider-Man 3 QTE segments are definitely a highlight of this game and if you haven't seen the Spider-Man 3 quick time events then I highly recommend you check them out.

One of the things I liked about Spiderman 3 is the large scale of NY City. The city scale is actually larger than Spiderman PS4. The skyscrapers are massive and take a long time to run up. Swinging around the city feels slow because of how large the buildings are compared to how small Spiderman is. It seems like Insomniac made a smaller world to make it easier to swing through.

@PsychoMagnet 11 месяцев назад

@ashwath5733 Месяц назад

Honestly its clear the game was just rushed to coincide with the movie's release. You can really tell how unfinished this game is. Could've had so much potential if not for that since as you mentioned the developers really did have passion for this project. (Also doesn't help that Web of Shadows was being worked on at the same time this was being developed, which explains why this feels like a prototype for WoS, using the same engine, assets, and animations.)

@amirgarcia547 11 месяцев назад

One detail about this game I did like is that if you wear the black suit for too long, removing it as way harder as you had to basically do a button-mashing minigame to remove it. It’s certainly not the best Spider-Man game out there, but far from the worst either, and it’s a funny coincidence that it had a black suit fight against The Lizard many years before Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 did.

Honestly the one aspect of this game that I think it does extremely well is having a mini game just to remove the black suit. It felt awesome and is a mechanic that works perfectly for the black suit. Keep in mind I haven’t played the game in over a decade so this could be nostalgia tricking me but I remember that mechanic being sick.

I played this for the first time like a year ago, it was guenuinly one of the funniest games I've ever played. Actually insane how much effort went into the qte's and how funny they are. I also believe someone did the math and it takes like 1500 hits to beat Kraven which was a pain

@civilwarfare101 11 месяцев назад

I recall vaguely playing this game years ago after the PS2 version and I don't really remember it that well. I recall beating it but I don't recall that much for some reason. The PS2 version I remember having some nostalgia for since I bought at a nearby EB Games around the same time as watching the movie on opening day. Back when I liked going to theaters. I still can't really recall if that game is any good either. Like Spider-Man himself, there is so much shit with him in it, I am not even sure if half of them are even that great and since there is so much, it seems to require effort just to view and play everything. I still use my PS3 but Spidey games are expensive as all hell.

@Infinity-ki7wi 11 месяцев назад

In general, this game has an interesting history. There is a perfectly told story of this game on Spideysant's channel. In a nutshell this game had a lot of bad luck, firstly there were ambitions, secondly the problems started when the veterans from Spider man 2 left the company and inexperienced new employees had no experience with the game engine yet. Thirdly, SM3 had a totally different lighting system making it look much nicer, but unfortunately at the expense of fluidity, the game had 6fps in the city and 12fps in the sewers. They had to redo all the lighting in the game making it not so pretty anymore. There was also a problem with the changes in the movie script because Sam Raimi couldn't make up his mind on certain things so they had to change a lot of things in the meantime.

@NewSuperAvenger 11 месяцев назад

There is a bigger story for the Spider-Man 3 game that not many people know about. - The overall look for the game looked incredible for the next-gen consoles. Character models for Peter, Venom and Jameson were fully detailed. But with how big the open-world is and how the cutscenes were rendered, the game only ran as slow as 9fps. The ugly look of the game is why it runs smoothly. - There were more Black Suit missions and would've seen Black Cat returning from the second game. Turk Barrett (from Daredevil comics) was going to be introduced and both were going to be tied in with the expanded Kingpin storyline. They were removed which is why there was a lack of Kingpin missions. The last Apocalypse mission was going to take place sometime after the Sandman fight, which fits with the voice deliveries from Tobey Maguire in the final game. The side missions with other people was going to be a selectable side mission called "Voluntary". - There were more references to the Marvel Universe, mostly in the Daily Bugle. Jameson, Brant and Robbie would reference Punisher, Captain America, Mr Fantastic, etc. - Scorpion and Kraven/Lizard missions were originally set for the second game. - Some animation moves from Spider-Man 2 are left in the game files of Spider-Man 3. There's more info from "spidey santa", to know what he's saying, activate captions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9DVcEnmhlZE.htmlsi=vZ9-wZmW3Y9HFX3V

@piotrjasinski2130 11 месяцев назад

I also think that at one point in the development of the game itself Jamie Fristrom came up with a concept of stealth takedowns, but Activision was (correct me if I'm wrong) against this ambition and responded that Spider-Man wouldn't work with those. They were later implemented and first used in Shattered Dimensions.

@nastyresidue6772 11 месяцев назад

I had the privilege of playing both growing up. I can say the PS2 version was better. Not to say the PS3 version wasn’t fun. The different story arcs were a surprise. I hope Insomniacs Spider-Man 2 has the quick time event for the symbiote suit. It was always so cool to have the symbiote fight more and more to not be taken off.

I totally get why some people would want it for the challenge, but I don't think the topic should've been NEARLY as big as it was.

@amin9245 11 месяцев назад

9:55 - I always used the R1 + X move on everything, it's so OP and square x 5 then triangle is the same thing, so for that section I would build up the rage meter with the combo then use the super move. Got further into the vid, you gotta use R1 + X move man. Against the apocalypse guy, it's the fastest way to defeat him. Same with the black suit, it's the best move. Also, if you counter mid combo or pre to the final hit on the combo, you'll counter with that move, taking down their health more. so triangle triangle dodge triangle smashes the ground and all enemies around you.

@mattboy5296 11 месяцев назад

I think what I like most about all the Raimi trilogy games is that it gave Tobey Maguire opportunities to be the more traditional wisecracking Spider-Man when the movies themselves didn’t give us much of that. The quips are a good mix of the corny one liners and jokes that genuinely made me laugh. My favorite probably has to be "problems with your laser, Beck? I hear there are pills for that now". As for Spider-Man 3 in particular, much like the movie, I feel this game is better than it's given credit for. Definitely not a masterpiece and has plenty of flaws, but you can tell that there is a solid game at the foundation and you wonder what might have been had they had longer dev time or if the hardware they worked on was easier to work with. This game has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure for me and I enjoyed my several playthroughs over the years, although now with Insomniac's games Idk if I'll ever go back to it (or TASM 1) over Spider-Man PS1, the first 2 movie games, and Ultimate when I feel like playing different Spidey titles (not to mention I've never played Web of Shadows or Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time yet either).

Hold on, this game had Scorpion and Harry segments? I checked on wikipedia, and turns out this is a PS3 exclusive thing, and with dlc, you get an essentially NG+ gamemode where you can start with all upgrades available, including black suit, or play as Harry with no story missions. Damn, I missed out! I played the PC version again last year, in the lead up to the PC release of the 2018 game, and I was wondering why I didn't remember being able to play as Harry. At least I was able to get 60fps using a hex editor. I recommend trying it that way, it makes a huge difference in how the swinging feels.

I wish these games were easier to play. I hope they make these games (Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man 1,2, and 3) backwards compatible on Xbox Series X/S some day, they’re such unique experiences, no matter the quality of them. I’m just not sure how it’ll work with the licensing but with the PlayStation Microsoft collaboration we may see these games make a return on newer consoles.

The PS2 was the version I grew up with and I'll be honest I remember loving it and playing it for so long but after all this time I can't remember if it played well at all. What I can say is that the PS3 version does look like a downgrade both in visuals and art direction, and the black suit mechanic will forever be in my heart as the best black suit in spider-man games. Also this game was my introduction to MICHAEL FRICKING MORBIUS! THE MAN, THE MEME, THE LEGEND! THIS GAME WAS MORBING SINCE 2007!

As a kid I loved this game. And the reason is because I was a PC gamer. Let me explain. While Spider-Man 2 was technically on PC it was basically a completely different game made for babies. I never knew how great the PS2 version was until years later. The Amazing Spider-Man 1 game was the newest Spider-Man game at the time but it ran very poorly on my computer and at the time I didn't know what optimization was and I thought it was the game's fault and not my aging PC's. Then I found a copy of Spider-Man 3. Not only did it run much better, it basically fulfilled the Spider-Man fantasy for me. I think I did play Ultimate Spider-Man before but the Johnny Storm race was too difficult so I gave up on it. I still didn't finish it. After finishing 3 I immediately went out looking for Web of Shadows cause I kind of considered it a sequel to 3 which it kinda was. And I remember being very disappointed that Spider-Man 4 never happened. Still am. Not saying Spider-Man 3 on PC was a masterpiece. I remember some things pissing me off even now. I remember the lizard level being very hard and some of the QTEs needed very precise timing. Disarming the bombs using the arrow keys was hell and I think I nearly broke my keyboard retrying the mission over and over. The game was definitely very frustrating. I think I played Web of Shadows months later and I loved how it iterated on the combat. But strangely I thought the city looked blander than in Spider-Man 3. I think I played Shattered Dimensions later which I enjoyed but I was very pissed that Edge of Time never released on PC.

This is my favourite Spider-Man game alongside Ultimate. The map of this game was amazing and the ragdolls humorous. And did you know that Spider-Man 3 was the first Spider-Man game with QTEs?

I didn’t know people didn’t like this game until I was an adult. I LOVED this game as a kid. The game had really dope ideas and i have a very fond memory of seeing morbius for the first time. I knew of him but to see a niche inclusion at that time it was dope as fuck Edit: Also I had it on PS2

I remember when I was a kid, I was on that boss fight against that apocalipse gang leader and I always got beated, than (I don't know if it was a glitch or not) with a web pull he was sent flying over that fence and fell on the water, it was a hit kill and the game count it as I defeated him and I laughed till my stomach hurts 😂. I couldn't never do that again on later playthroughs, but I never forgot that
