Yeah, I agree with Satsujin sort of. I was thinking of buying this game just b/c I have some extra money and we're getting right into the usual summer drout of games and b/c I purchased the past Spiderman games except for Electro.
But from what I've read, this game supposedly is bad. It does some good things but for each good thing, it does like 2 bad things or some ratio like that.
Not to mention the swinging in SPiderman 2 wore me out, so it doesn't amaze me anymore and isn't that enticing of a factor to buy this game.
So yeah. I won't be getting this game.

So I rented the Wii version and let me say this:
Its no where near as bad as the reviews make it out to be.
Its still not amazing, there is still quite a bit wrong with it but its not as bad as 5/10 or 4/10, I'd say its more of a 6.5/10.
The good:
- The graphics arnt nearly as bad as people would lead you to believe
- The Wii web controls, once you get used to them, are the best web swinging controls out of all 3 Spidey games. They really give you much more control of what your doing...being able to use whatever hand you want to swing with and where you want the Web line to go feels good once you get it.
- Being able to use the black suit whenever is pretty cool.
- The City is large (obviously)
- The camera isn't as bad as people would lead you to believe.
The bad:
- The game has some SERIOUS pop up issues at some points. Spiderman 2 didn't have these pop up issues, why does this one? I once found a building that had NO textures at all...ZERO, it was grey as I climbed up the wall. I've never seen it again though.
- Fighting can sometimes become tedious.
-Its friggin short, you'll complete the main quest in a little over 5 hours.
- A lot of the voice acting is tired, repetitive and annoying.
- Lack of good unlockables.
So if your a Spidey fan and you own a Wii then renting this is prolly a good idea, the web swinging feels good and its pretty fun while it lasts, but unfortunately that isn't very long and there just isn't much for you to do after the main quest is over. Collect 50 tokens, and then 100 meteorite pieces, and I guess level up everything, other then that there's nothing. So give it a rent, but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless your a hardcore Spidey fan. At its core its still pretty much exactly the same as Spiderman 2 with better swing control, but also with horrible pop up issues.
had it on ps2...
the camera is pretty bad at times, and the controls are poorly executed imo... the action is repetitive, as are the god-awful one liners...
i played it for a few hours, and i usually get a decent bit into a game by then, but even after the black suit became available, it didnt feel like i'd achieved anything...
not an enjoyable experience, but as i said, its the ps2 version, others might be better if they aren't too similar...

yah, the ps2 version is made by Vicarious Visions not Treyarch heh.
but i agree with what you said, it gets a bit repetitve and even though spidey advances through multiple story lines, it doesnt feel like im accomplishing anything (other than achievement pts ha).
but web swinging is always fun...

yeah i watched the wii version on tv and it doesnt like that great either, it looks rather difficult having to do every single action like sliding against a wall, running on the side of the wall then web swinging and tricking. than press the combos, the fighting must be tedious lol cuz it was basically button mash x and y on the 360 lol and usually w/ bullet time lol

i thought even the web swinging was a bit crappy too... 😖

for the 360 version, the swinging aint that bad, but sometimes it really gets annoying like, like the webline just shoots into thin air and i fall, even though i pointed to this or that building to attach to.
the 360's combat, camera and just everything is not horrible, but it gets tedious sometimes, just imagine how much more tedious it is on the wii

Because you wanted to swing too soon and your hand still point to a blank area.360 camera and combat is awesome. I love it.
One thing bugs me, the serious amount of bugs and glitches.
like sometimes the camera gets a bit bad indoors and stuff. not horrible but sometimes annoying...
I agree, I have had no problems with the 360 version yet, I bought it yesterday, and it is great, I like swinging, very fun. I am doing the missions first, then I will swing about.
Just a few things though for some achievements:
1) One of them is to take a picture from a "great height," how hish do you have to be, I went to the highest building I could find and took a pic and nothing happened...
2) What are those tokens that it says you need, I have not seen a single one in any missions yet...
