The combat in the game works in a fairly repetitive manner, with two attack buttons and a one-use power up available after a certain number of hits are landed. However, once we got into the game a little bit we were soon swinging our fists in true superhero style. The controls for the game were difficult to get to grips with at first and matters weren't helped by the poor menu-system which didn't seem to allow all controls to be re-mapped. Tobey McGuire's non-Spider-Man suit model for instance looked like something Morbius, the Living Vampire, had eaten and half-digested. Some of the models on the characters were truly horrendous. Bruce also provided the tutorials for the previous games in the series, so we felt right at home almost immediately.Ĭlick to enlargeI have to admit I was a little confused though as the game, which looked good in pre-release screenshots, clearly wasn't making the most of our super-powerful systems. Then the building blew up.īruce Campbell, cult hero and friend of the film's director, then walks us through the game's controls via some hilarious narrative. We use the word intro in the laxest sense though, as it amounted to nothing more than a man telling someone to blow a building up. There was about two minutes of logos and the like first, this was then followed by twenty seconds of intro before we were in the game. The eye of The SpiderWe were a little surprised when we booted up Spider-Man 3 on the PC. So, with a fairly good base to build on and a year in which to make the needed improvements, we decided it was about time we had a peek at Spider-Man 3 on the PC and Wii to see what this web-slinging superhero has to offer us this time in his third third-person action game. The previous Spider-Man 2 was quite good for instance, provided you played it on a console and not the PC or, dare we utter it's name, the N-gage. You know the rule about how games based on movie licenses are inevitably awful though, don't you? Well, contrary to popular belief that rule hasn't always been true and there are a handful of tie-in games out there that actually manage to be quite good. Spider-man 3 is the tie-in game for the recent blockbuster release, obviously.
