Comparing Every Version of Spider-Man 3 The Game

Surprised you didn't make mention of them weaving the side plots from the PS2/Wii/PSP version into the story a bit better than the flagship. Like how the Michael Morbius stuff tied into the symbiote by making that part of Shriek's stuff, and the Lizard plot leads into the Morbius one.

I’m so glad i had the ps2 version. Had no idea the flagship was that bad. I loved the territorial gang system and eliminating all the groups, it was very satisfying to see police symbols all over the map. Shame you didn’t mention you had to find all Spider logos to unlock the black suit, or the meteorite fragments to unlock Venom, and they could be located by following the sound they emited. I remember spending hours combing through the map to find the last one

You forgot to mention how you can unlock the black suit after beating the campaign in the PS3/PC/Xbox360 versions. You can then start the campaign again, but this time you can play in the black suit from beginning to end

I'm glad to see more and more people speaking positively of the PS2/Wii/PSP version, and a lot of them even preferring it. At the time of release, and even for quite a few years, this version was widely looked at as inferior to the flagship version, with many complaining about there being less missions and it feeling like the game had been cut down too much. I'm happy that, as time has gone on, more people are realizing how bloated the flagship version was and how the PS2/Wii/PSP version was much more streamlined and enjoyable. Plus, it cant be denied that Bruce Campbell's narration was much better in it.

The PS2 version was one of my favourites back in the day. Must have beaten it 3 or 4 times with my mates. Came with a free poster too!

It's worth noting that Treyarch's final Spider-Man game, Web of Shadows, was something of an apology/"what we'd do with a Symbiote storyline" game directly after Spider-Man 3. With all the tech actually finished and no movie to tie-in with, it began what Beenox would then capitalize on with some genuinely original Spider-Man games from Activision. Even the TASM movie tie-ins are essentially their own timeline with unique villains and plots. Sadly, being published by Activision means that, other than Shattered Dimensions, every other entry besides SD and Web of Shadows was rushed out the door far too early.

I got the PS2 version first, and despite it being a bit disapponting when it came to the graphics and how empty the city itself felt, I remember having a really good time with it. I didn't try out the flagship until I got an XBox360 about a year later, and TBH that version just felt off in so many ways, like the combat just didn't feel impactful at all, and the web swinging was very stiff.

i remember i used to like the PS2 version alot back then, not as much as spider man 2, but enough to the point where i could jump between the two and know i would have a fun time, and i remember getting so side tracked by the different gang bits to the point where at some point i just stopped progressing the story and just kept doing that until i got bored of the game at some point.

Ultimate Spider-Man and Web of Shadows are worth talking about when it comes to different versions so I'd recommend those first and foremost Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time are somewhat interesting to tackle too in certain aspects

This was the game I played the least out of the Raimi trilogy. I didn't even end up playing both the flagship and lower spec version till like 2021/2022. Kinda glad I missed out on it, cause I could've only imagined the disappointment going from 2 to 3. Definitely would love to see you do Ultimate Spider-Man but also interested in Edge of Time considering the 3DS port was actually a port of the console version. Web of Shadows would also be interesting as the PS2 and PSP versions were 2.5D beat em ups. (Something I didn't realize till I popped in the disc lol.) The Amazing Spider-Man was also interesting cause they managed to port the console version to the Vita.

I remember to play a lot the ps2 version of this game when i was a child, i didn't knew the 360/ps3 version exists.

You should do a video on the Ultimate Spider-Man game. Was released between the second and third movie games and was kinda overshadowed by them, but it really holds up for a 6th gen title. One of my personal favs. Totally recommend checking it out. They actually adapted the story from the game into some of the future Ultimate Spider-Man comics.

I remember playing the PS2 version and I had a bug happen while chasing the Lizard through the streets where the Lizard and his henchmen (hench-lizards?) didn’t load their models properly, so it replaced them with big red exclamation marks❗️🤣 I played through that part of the mission like that until it became too unclear what I was supposed to do (or maybe it softlocked, I don’t remember). It was fixed after a soft reset.

PS2 is definitely the best version, IMO. I definitely preferred playing that over the PS3 version. Also yes, definitely make videos comparing other versions of Spider-Man games, specifically Ultimate and Shattered DImensions

The ps2 version was my childhood, I absolutely love that game and had no idea why people shitted on Spider-Man 3, now I know there existed different versions

The PSP version also fixed some of the glitches (mostly visual if I'm not mistaken) and also had an exclusive mode. The gang mechanic worked pretty well for a handheld game as they were quick missions you could just pick up and get quickly into some action.

I played the ps2 version and liked it fine, but I was dying to play the flagship version (it looked marvelous in my 11 year old eyes). That was the game that made me buy a ps3, and despite all the bugs and gameplay problems, I absolutely loved it. It was so varied and had so much style (especially the quick time events). It will always hold a special place in my heart.
