Spider-Man 3 sports some very scary-looking character models

Ben Kuchera from Ars Technica have been playing Spider-Man 3 on the PlayStation 3 for the past few days getting ready for the review. It's not a pretty game, but he had been able to get past the graphical problems pretty quickly, although the framerate is problematic in very odd places.

What really kills him are the character models during the cutscenes. It's like freakish, plastic mannequins were given life, but their eyeballs have been partially pushed out of their skulls. Don't believe me?

Everyone knows by now that film license games are not real games. Just a pile of crap rushed out and purchased by kids who like the movies.
Sadly they sell tons of em, so thats why they keep pumping this $hite out. :(

5 - I bought the collector's edition of spiderman for my ps3, and so far I like it.

I basically bought this game because I love to swing around new york, if you love to swing around like you did in spiderman 2, then this game will be fun, I havent beat it yet, but it seems like im having more fun with the game now then I did when I was playing it in the beginning, im not all that crazy about being the green goblin though, he doesent have too many commands, I dunno he is kind of boring. I would suggest renting this game first before buying it.

7 - ugh. I think they should change the style back to the more cartoony spiderman 2.

and just make everything looks more crisp and clean and make the world a bit smaller. Maybe make the game more of an rpg, where with XP you can get new combos, web slinging ability, higher agility, strength etc.

8 - My thoughts

They apparently didn't use true cutscenes. It's quite apparent they used the actual game engine on the cuts like it would be "good enough" I own the PS3 version and rented the Wii version for a day to see what all the gripe was about... and yes, it is 1000 times worse... basicly there was 0 improvement from the previous gen that made it worth while on any "next-gen"system. Decent for FUN factor but lacking on every system I've tried.

An OK game for an OK situation I guess.

9 - DON'T BELIEVE HIM

I have the game right now for the wii. I rented it because the reviews said it was horrible. I was very surprised it looks alot better than the PS3 screenshots although it is a little rough in some areas. He's just hatin cause Spiderman 3's graphics suck a$$ on the so-called “PS3 powerhouse”. Let's face it when PS3 or Xbox's graphics suck the game sells bad because that's people buy them for graphics. Unlike the Wii its not soleky about graphics but its nice when they look good but its about gameplay on the Wii. That's why Wii Play sold awesoms inspite of negative reviews and motorstorm didn't. People can still say “ well the graphics are't the greatest but the game was fun as heck i'll still buy it”.
