I broke down and picked up Spidey 3 for the PS2.
Anyone know if there are any cool unlockables in this one?

Did you hear what Ign gave spiderman 3 on ps2. a bad, bad score.. Not saying you shouldn't buy it but check what they gave it.

愛 · 05-05-2007, 11:48 PM

Even if that's true, fans of the comics and the movies will buy it, so who cares?

bullet · 05-05-2007, 11:50 PM

im gonna pick up a copy tomorrow sometime before i head home, too.

and haah, i really could care less what ign or gamespot or any of them give any game, lol. maybe im a crappy gamer but i think games should appeal to ME. for that reason i got TMNT in spite of the tragic rating from everything i read. i liked it, that's enough for me.

**GK Punk** · 05-06-2007, 12:42 AM

Yeah, I'm aware of the rating, I just don't care. You shouldn't base what you like based on what others tell you, I've enjoyed the game so far. I get to swing from building to building and beat up thugs. This could be the entire game and I'd be completley happy.

Sure, I'd rather buy it for another System but *Gasp* I don't own a Next Gen system. I only really bought it because It was 35 bucks new for PS2.

This statement is made of win.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 05-06-2007, 02:20 AM

Now now before you flame me notice I don't' care for the rating too. I was just shocked anyways about the review.

**GK Punk** · 05-06-2007, 04:14 AM

I didn't flame you actually. It was a general statement about reviewers. People often base their opinions on things by what a reviewer said about it in a magazine or website, or whatever.

Yes, exactly. Although it's nice to see a game I like get good ratings, I've never really paid that much attention to reviews.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-06-2007, 08:22 PM

Looks like I am the only one who listens to reviews. I don't them them dictate what I buy, but I certainly don't trash them. More times than not I agree with the average rating a game gets. But you can't just look at the score, you gotta read it all because sometimes they knock off points for things you wouldn't care about. If I am torn between games reviews usually decide for me. It's funny because people will say, "Look a the awesome reviews!" and then when a game they like gets terrible reviews it's like, "bah, don't pay any attention to those morons.". Just the way I see it.

Peanut · 05-06-2007, 08:41 PM

Reviews are always good as a starting point, but the gaming press is way too jaded these days. That, and scores like 5's and 6's are looked at as horrendous, when in truth, that just means the game is strictly average.

In the case of Spider-Man 3, it seems like the next-gen versions got slammed for the graphics worst of all. I don't really see why the game is getting beat on so hard, because I'm really having a ton of fun with it. I'm also a Spider-Man fan, though. This is just like when the Episode III game came out a couple years back. That game got trounced HARD, but I loved every second of it.

While I do believe reviews have their merits, I don't put much weight into them when purchasing a game. Case in point, the only two games I have ever returned, Metroid Prime and Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (I think that's what it's called), got super high scores, but I hated both of them.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 05-07-2007, 01:16 AM

well see Peanut has a good point.. Basically just because there is a game with a huge good score doesn't mean ppl will have to love em.

Do demos even give justify a purchase if you download it?

Peanut · 05-07-2007, 05:24 PM

I'm just going to say that after the halfway point, Spider-Man 3 turns into a giant pile of sh*t. I have never played a game that so obviously showed the point in it's production where they were forced to start rushing the content in order to make release. And seriously, worst boss fights in history. Period.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 05-07-2007, 05:55 PM

well what did you expect from a movie based video game?

Still you will probably finish it for the achivements.

I literally just reached the halfway point about fifteen minutes ago and I couldn't agree more. They just throw as many enemies as possible at you for about five minutes and then you fight the boss, and by then you're nearly dead. The enemies that dodge everything you do unless you jump attack them are really frustrating as well.

Are you dumb?

Spider-Man 2 is arguably one of the best Spider-Man games ever made...and its a movie game.

Amen to that, I haven't played a better movie game to date.

I have the game to. It's Spider-man 2 with better graphics and the ability to swim. But what does that mean? Nothing because SM 2 was a last gen game and last gen mechanics don't work in next gen.

The web swinging was better in 2 from what I remember as well.

*Cure* · 05-07-2007, 07:37 PM

You know, I really liked the "Aladdin" games, for both SNES and Genesis. They were both super short but super fun. The one for SNES was kinda like a Disney version of Prince of Persia.

**GK Punk** · 05-07-2007, 08:04 PM

Yeah Spider-Man 2 is absolutley awesome. 3 in comparison is OK. I need to go out and find a copy of 2. It's funny, I went out looking for a used copy of Spider-Man 2, and settled for a new copy of SM3.
