May 7, 2007 - Mediocre - The core game is unsatisfying because of the control scheme that seems Hell-bent on ruining your wrists; all that waggling is good for precisely nobody.
May 7, 2007 - Poor - Activision's ambitious plan to release Spider-Man 3 simultaneously across multiple consoles -- and still make it timely with the blockbuster film -- only plagues this particular version from top to bottom.
June 13, 2007 - Poor - As one of the first big, cross-platform, high profile action games to hit the system, many fans of the Wii and Spider-Man had high hopes. Unfortunately, the game fails on every level.
May 29, 2007 - Poor - A flimsy storyline, wonky combat, and weak visual design prevent Spider-Man 3 from accurately reproducing the excitement and nostalgia of Marvel's original conception.
May 7, 2007 - Poor - Spider-Man 3 on the Wii and PS2 is ultimately a total washout. The badly cut-together storyline, nasty graphics, and dull-as-a-doornail gameplay all come together to create an experience that feels entirely haphazard.
May 10, 2007 - Poor - Spider-Man 3 on either PS2 or Wii is a waste of time and money. It's ostensibly the exact same game as 2004's Spider-Man 2, only with an uglier city, choppier gameplay and somehow, even worse combat and camera.
May 21, 2007 - Poor - The Wii version of Spider-Man 3 plays sloppy, looks bad, and just doesn't feel complete. As with the other iterations, if it wasn't rushed to market to coincide with the movie release, it would definitely be worth playing.
May 4, 2007 - Poor - Spider-Man 3 has its moments, particularly when the webslinger is coasting between skyscrapers, but much of the endeavor will all the same have your spider sense tingling.
May 18, 2007 - Poor - Before you Sellotape remotes to your wrists and ready yourself for leaping off your bed, brace yourself for what you surely already expected; Spider-Man 3 on the Wii is quite a letdown.
