Spider-Man 3

A good but short game on June 29, 2007

Spiderman 3 is the best so far in the series, with the all new black suit that lets Spiderman beat up the baddies more than ever before. You have a rage meter in this game that fills up as you punch and kick and - my favorite part - web other foes. When it gets full, spiderman automatically transforms into the black suited version. He does different moves and they are more powerful. However, if you don't beat up the bad guys enough, your rage meter will go down. When it is depleted, you will be regular old spidey again. The web-swinging action is also a very fun element in the game. Use your touchpad to aim or just use the control pad, they both are easy. Web swinging gives you a feeling of freedom, a very good accomplishment by Marvel and those that made this game. As for the story, it took me less than 5 hours to complete. Yes, it's short, but the extras they put in there make it last along time. Buy cheats with hero points, run (or web-swing) races, and do Ultimate Challenges (doing missions in a certain amount of time). I think I'll keep this one.
