Spider-Man 3: The Game review

I had to put this in my blog,
today we are reviewing Activision's Spider-Man 3.
I had purchased two games at the time: Sonic 06 and Spider-Man 3.
Guess which one I liked it.
If you picked Sonic 06, you are correct, this game is garbage compared to Sonic 06.
So let me introduce to you, to Spider-Man 3.

Story:
Spider-Man 3 has a long story, it has some plots of the story and also has original plots created for the game.
The game begins with Spider-Man having to save people from a building on fire, after you do, you are then put in a GTA styled free world.
The game features stories such as Jean De Wolfe, Rhino, Lizard, Kraven's Last Hunt,etc.
There is also the gang missions in which Spider-man must stop gangs such as the Arsenic Candy which looks like Roxxy from Scott Pilgrim made clones out of herself, the H-Bombers, which I don't need to explain them since you know they are Bombers, and other gangs such as Dragon Tail, a japanese gang and Apocalypse, and no, it's not the X-men Apocalypse.

Gameplay:
The gameplay in Spider-Man 3 is annoying, you can jump,punch and do combos like in any game.
But, it has also two kinds of Spider-Sense, one that can see throught objects and the other that can slowdown time,isn't that familiar from another spidey game?
And the Black Suit has this Rage mode and yes, Shattered Dimensions took from this game.
In the Wii version, you can change to Red and Black suits at any time, but the PS3 version, nope.
So what's annoying about that, oh you will see.
For example: The Arsenic Candy's Museum Mission.
It first starts with Arsenic Candy members throwing an old man that works on a library from a clock tower, Spider-Man has to save him.
You activate your Spider sense to save him, oh, but it's limited, it takes seconds to the spider-sense stop and the old man falls to his death.
You start over again, you try to pick him again, but, no you when you are about to catch him, the freaking Spider-Sense turns off!
When you finally pick him, it's here that starts the annoying part.
You go to the museum, they planted a bomb at dinosaur fossils,
and only Spider-Man can save it, if there wasn't hundreds of these girls!
You have to disable the time bomb before it explodes, you active the Spider-sense, the one that sees throught objects, and it just shows you that it's dangerous, it doesn't show the bomb's location, later, one of the girls blows up the fossil and then the time of this bomb dramastically decreases.
And Boom!
The bomb explosed, and YOU LOSE!
Now for the Wii version, you play with the wiimote and the nunchuk, the buttons are confusing, becomes the same button that jumps is the same that shoots webs!
Which causes a malfunction in the game, and the fighting, it's motion sensing which causes this irritating and unnatural gameplay.

Audio:
The Voice acting in Spider-Man 3,is good it features people from the movie sounding the characters, they include Tobey Maguire, James Franco, Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church, the sound effects are average and other supporting cast, did a great job voicing characters such as Kraven, Dr. Curt Connor and De Wolfe.
But Mary Jane's voice is so lame, it doesn´t sound energetic or nothing, it's seems like she doesn't care about anything in the game's story, you can tell, that she winned in a lottery, she will still have the same voice.

Graphics:
The Graphics in the PS3 version are decent, but, the Wii version is awful, I mean sure the Wii doesn't have HD, but they could have putten fluid in the animation, The Graphics looks like it came from the PS1 and they colored Spider-Man like if a 5-year old was drawing, it's that terrible.
And the black suit instead of keeping how it was in the movie, it now looks lik that someone throwed a bucket of White and Black paint in Spider-Man, sure they were trying to make it to look like the comic version, but it kept things worse.


Overall Rating:
2.5/10 for the Wii
3/10 for the PS3
 Here are the Reasons:
.High Difficulty
.Bad Spider-Sense
     .The "difference" between the black and red suit.
     .Bad quality of animation in the Wii.
     .Irritating Gameplay
     .And Poor Story

The good points of this game are the fun exploring the New York city and the voice acting, but, don't buy this game, your console may cause burning, and if you play it, don't tell me I didn't warned you.
