Unleash The Power!!


Written by Kal-El

Spider-man comes back to the world of games again for the third installment of the Movie; Spider-man 3, brought to you by Activision.

Yes, it most fans anticipated that this game is gonna be similar to the likes of the previous Spider-man games (1 and 2), But what makes this game so great is that graphics wise, it has been improved, game gimmicks are also been updated, storyline is quite similar with the epic Movie, but straying along with other storylines with new additional villians like Kraven, The Lizard.etc.

I won't spoil it for you by talking much about this game, but what i like to highlight here is just a bunch of upgrades that you will experience in this game compared with the previous one.

In terms of graphics, The City scape looks much more better in this game, Spidey still will be able to swing from skyscrappers to another throughout the whole of New York, If you upgrade your acrobatic moves while in the air, it seems better, and also when you go fast, a blur aura comes to the screen, just like when Superman goes Mark 1 in the Superman Returns Game. But anyway, quite similar,In the previous games, the Spider-Man model was either comic like drawn, or bad colours are applied to him, now with more detailed. i mean, i'm only on PS2 yeah, imagine it on XBox 360 or PS3 even, Way better i think especially with HD support, but also importantly more Melee attacks feature, better moves, actually, it seemed flawless when i fought thugs on the street, the fighting techniques looks just exactly in the comics, cartoons , movies etc. You name it. Just need to upgrade it yourself to be the amazing Spider-Man.

As for the Storyline, to be frank with you all, i Haven't actually clock this game yet, i just got it yesterday, i played only 26% of the game, already, the storyline is fantastic, flow of the game may require some loading pages, but hey, im not complaining.

Game features, One of the good part here is that, Spidey have a few additional features than the previous games, More upgrades than usual, points are abit stingy tho, you will need points in order to purchase these moves, Another one of it is that Spidey or Peter as we know him, is able to take snapshots in Camera mode aswell, this makes it more Parker style, but most importantly, Spider-Man is able to change from the Red Blue suit to the black one by just pressing a button, this black suit give Spidey the edge of fighting enhancement, he is more powerful etc, but as it was shown in the movies, Spidey could only use it for a number of time only before the black suit consumes him all. I haven't exactly tried what happens if the black aura has covered everything tho...basically, it's like a drug with high adrenaline rush for spidey, what makes him feel good could also kill him.


Soundtrack for the game is also quite amazing, Activision has once again ochrastrated one of the best all time spider-man game ever made, scores for fighting scenes or even just swinging in danger.


Fun Factor: *** out of 5, Maybe it's just me, i like the swinging from one building to another and being a hero with freedom of movement, it's fun enough for me.


So in conclusion to my ratings, i rated this game a fair 8 out of 10, So go on True believers, go get that game and rescue my Mary Jane, I mean your Mary Jane.
