Spider-Man 3: The Game Comments by Dave McCarthy

I'm not sure I would agree that the branding has been "destroyed". You assume the connection is a bad thing, but I'm not so sure.

Seems to me that if two hugely successful franchises are being connected in people's minds, that is a good thing is it not? Spiderman fans see the PS logo and immediately there is something that connects them with another brand that may not otherwise be present. Not saying it a benefit in all cases, but I don't think the effect is as clear cut as you suggest.

Yay, 20 miles of sewers, varied and diverse sewers! :)))))

It's sad, I love it too.

For Christsake, it's a font. Who cares.....

(geek mode)

Point 1 : Fuck you all. The first 2 spidey games were multi-platform and were fucking great. (IMHO)

Point 2 : Both the previous films have (imho) been shite. And the director has REALLY fucked up what i consider to be the best comic book franchise out there (with batman being a close 2nd). Ironically the games of the movies have come closer to the comic books than the movies have The movies just seem to end up in non-stop blur-o-vision.

Point 3 : As long as the GAMEPLAY is the same, i dont care what system its on. Graphics mean as much to me as special effects do in movies. I.e. I care when they're done badly, but i dont care if it's not noticeable. The fact that consoles seemed to feel the need to go "hi-def" to make the difference noticable says a lot to me.. (but then i cant say that as it'll piss off a lot of fan-kids)

I am quite surprised that Ultimate Spider-man is not being mentioned here, save for the one post. It actually improved on some points of the Spider-man 2 game. The web swinging was a tad simpler but the combat and the story were notably better. Boss battles were pretty great, IMHO....

If they bother to really perfect the wii controls this could be a must buy.

Spiderman 2 let you walk around the Bugle Offices as Peter Parker, too. WTF are Activision on about? Just makes it sound like they're scraping for things to say about the game, which on the face of it seems like it's already got everything going for it.

Wierd thing to brag about.
