Spidey caught in a web of pointless plots! June 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Spidey 3 for Wii started out great...getting used to the Wii Remote swinging was kinda tricky and first but the great old Bruce Cambell kept you in the game until you knew exactly what to do. Good training excersises. The graphics for this game lets face it its for the Wii so once again lets not complain we know what the Wii is only capable of. The cinematics however are amazing better then any other wii game ive seen its really close to the xbox 360 version. Well ill point out the problems first the game spends way too much time on pointless battles with several streeet gangs, some missions actually repeat twice or three times in order to get to the next level. New York city looks like crap in the game i know the wii is only capable of so much but hey they could had put a lil more detail the city is clean as hell...no (marketing on times square it just made no sense. The game is not keeping faith to what was not even such a great movie in the first place. I meen for bout a good 1 quarter of the game is spent fighting the lizard who is rumored to be in spidey 4 it kinda kills the mood a lil bit. However the game was really fun beating up the bad dudes....and finally fighting venom which took way to long to get to i think...any i dont recomment buying it just rent it at ur local video store like i did dont waste [...] dollars on this!
Great game, for about the first hour June 16, 2007

If you love Spider-man as much as I do, and you just can't miss out on this game, and you have a Wii and either an XBox 360 or Playstation3, get it for the 360 or PS3. It just has a huger enviroment, more villians, more missions, and more everything. If you ony have a Wii as a major system and you already played Spider-man 2, then this game is definetly worth renting at BlockBuster for 5-8 bucks. The web-slinging is really fun, and i am sure you will beat the game within a week. Once you beat the final boss, venom, you will still be able to roam the city and do boring crime spree missions, but there really is no point. Do not buy this game.
 You're better off buying a GameCube and Spiderman 2 for 50 bucks June 4, 2007

This might be the worst game to come out for the Wii. First, let me just say that I love both the Wii and the Spiderman franchise. I'm not a Nintendo hater and Spiderman, especially games 1 and 2, were definitely my thing. What's wrong with this game? It's definitely not the controls. Swinging that web with your wii remote and nunchuk really is as cool as you imagined it would be. That's the one part of the game the developers got right.
Everything else makes you want to return the game and get your money back. No kidding, if you plug in a Gamecube and Spiderman 2, and a Wii and Spiderman 3, and climb up to the top of the Empire State Building in each, the Gamecube looks infinitely better. There's not a loss of detail in the buildings on the Wii version, there is NO detail on the buildings. None at all.
When I saw my first cut-scene movie I thought my game was scratched and they had given me a defective copy. That's how bad the cut scene graphics are.
Rent this game and do a shot of web to an enemy's face - literally the graphic displayed is a white, Pong-esque dot floating across the screen, that vanishes before it really even touches the opponent, and a faceless polygon blob covers his "eyes".
The game does LOOK better on the PS3 and 360, but I can't say that it plays any better. And it only looks better on the PS3 because it looks a lot like a slightly improved GameCube version of Spiderman2.
Any good from this game? Well, they made improvements to the web zip. It does more now than it did before, and they didn't really make it any worse. So that's a plus. The Wii controller shines here - it really is outstanding and if only they had made an actual game we could have really seen it at work. This game really stinks. Even if you loved the other 2 Spiderman games, this one you will hate. Save your money and if you really feel the need to websling with the Wii, wait till this game costs 20 bucks, which shouldn't be that long.
 Insulting to Wii Owners May 27, 2007

This game is an example of a 3rd party Wii game that just feels tacked together. There's a decent amount of effort put into swinging and in the end that's the best part of the Wii version of this game.
Once on the ground though the game becomes completely counter-intuitive. I'd rather do button combos than try to swing the remote side to side with little responsiveness. Combat is simply not fun because in the end it turns into swinging wildly or relying on the A button. Camera is also completely unmanageable.
The game is ridiculously glitch ridden and randomly Spidey will get stuck floating in mid-kick or a mission will fail or pass instantly after starting it.
People complain about the graphics, personally I would gladly take what they give if the gameplay was anything up to par with Spider-man 2 or Ultimate Spider-man, but that's simply not the case. It's a pretty ugly game, if my PS2 can handle God of War and GTA: San Andreas, why does my Wii version of Spider-man 3 look like I'm swinging through a graphing calculator?
The game was obviously rushed and most of the controller configuration besides the swinging (which could be better, but shows promise) was an afterthought. The game can be finished within a couple of hours and completing the bonus goals simply opens up things you already had earlier in the game. If you want a 3rd party sandbox Wii game done right, get the Godfather. This is simply insulting to Wii users.

When I was first interested in Spider-man 3 (wii) game I noticed they made it for the wii as well. I had yet purchased a wii, but I knew I wanted one before Spider-man 3 game came out. I thought it would be awesome! Looking online, like most people looking at the game play and reading as much as I could on the game, and seeing the ads on television. I thought wow! This is going to be awesome especially on the wii sense you have to use the remote and the nunchuk to fight swing in the air. Which that part was fine. But the let down, as you may read in many other reviews is that graphically it's not the best. It is smoother and the city is 2X bigger and you can get hit by a car, which is neat, which you can't do in Spider-man 1 (no free roaming) or 2. But if you are going on the game mainly thinking about the graphics, don't bother. I thought it would be the same for PS3 maybe my naivety but I just assumed. I knew there were character differences, but... Save your money, or wait until the PS3 lowers in price and get the game for it. The wii game wasn't even made by the same game developers of PS3 or Xbox360. I did enjoy it when I played it but the game took its toll on me when I finished it and I realized I couldn't do the same things that were on the PS3 version. The graphics are 100X better for the PS3, due in part for the next gen technology. It looses the fun quality after the fact knowing that game is not up to par with the other consoles, but the game for the wii is what it is...
