Surprised you didn't make mention of them weaving the side plots from the PS2/Wii/PSP version into the story a bit better than the flagship. Like how the Michael Morbius stuff tied into the symbiote by making that part of Shriek's stuff, and the Lizard plot leads into the Morbius one.

I loved the territorial gang system and eliminating all the groups, it was very satisfying to see police symbols all over the map. Shame you didn’t mention you had to find all Spider logos to unlock the black suit, or the meteorite fragments to unlock Venom, and they could be located by following the sound they emited.

I'm glad to see more and more people speaking positively of the PS2/Wii/PSP version, and a lot of them even preferring it. At the time of release, and even for quite a few years, this version was widely looked at as inferior to the flagship version, with many complaining about there being less missions and it feeling like the game had been cut down too much. I'm happy that, as time has gone on, more people are realizing how bloated the flagship version was and how the PS2/Wii/PSP version was much more streamlined and enjoyable. Plus, it cant be denied that Bruce Campbell's narration was much better in it.

Yes, the Vicarious Visions version is superior to Treyarch's in every way and I can't believe I'm saying this

I got the PS2 version first, and despite it being a bit disapponting when it came to the graphics and how empty the city itself felt, I remember having a really good time with it. I didn't try out the flagship until I got an XBox360 about a year later, and TBH that version just felt off in so many ways, like the combat just didn't feel impactful at all, and the web swinging was very stiff.

i remember i used to like the PS2 version alot back then, not as much as spider man 2, but enough to the point where i could jump between the two and know i would have a fun time, and i remember getting so side tracked by the different gang bits to the point where at some point i just stopped progressing the story and just kept doing that until i got bored of the game at some point.

I remember to play a lot the ps2 version of this game when i was a child, i didn't knew the 360/ps3 version exists.

It's worth noting that Treyarch's final Spider-Man game, Web of Shadows, was something of an apology/"what we'd do with a Symbiote storyline" game directly after Spider-Man 3. With all the tech actually finished and no movie to tie-in with, it began what Beenox would then capitalize on with some genuinely original Spider-Man games from Activision. Even the TASM movie tie-ins are essentially their own timeline with unique villains and plots. Sadly, being published by Activision means that, other than Shattered Dimensions, every other entry besides SD and Web of Shadows was rushed out the door far too early.

Web of Shadows was rushed as well. Game director has talked about the game he wanted to make vs what was released.

This was the game I played the least out of the Raimi trilogy. I didn't even end up playing both the flagship and lower spec version till like 2021/2022. Kinda glad I missed out on it, cause I could've only imagined the disappointment going from 2 to 3. Definitely would love to see you do Ultimate Spider-Man but also interested in Edge of Time considering the 3DS port was actually a port of the console version. Web of Shadows would also be interesting as the PS2 and PSP versions were 2.5D beat em ups. (Something I didn't realize till I popped in the disc lol.) The Amazing Spider-Man was also interesting cause they managed to port the console version to the Vita.

I remember playing the PS2 version and I had a bug happen while chasing the Lizard through the streets where the Lizard and his henchmen (hench-lizards?) didn’t load their models properly, so it replaced them with big red exclamation marks❗️🤣 I played through that part of the mission like that until it became too unclear what I was supposed to do (or maybe it softlocked, I don’t remember). It was fixed after a soft reset.

The ps2 version was my childhood, I absolutely love that game and had no idea why people shitted on Spider-Man 3, now I know there existed different versions

You should do a video on the Ultimate Spider-Man game. Was released between the second and third movie games and was kinda overshadowed by them, but it really holds up for a 6th gen title. One of my personal favs. Totally recommend checking it out. They actually adapted the story from the game into some of the future Ultimate Spider-Man comics.

I remember the PS2 version fondly! That game was my childhood and it’s good to see it get some love.

The PSP version also fixed some of the glitches (mostly visual if I'm not mistaken) and also had an exclusive mode. The gang mechanic worked pretty well for a handheld game as they were quick missions you could just pick up and get quickly into some action.

As a GBA kid I think that Spider-Man 3 on GBA was a lot more fun than the other 2d spiderman tie-ins of the time. The levels felt grander and the combat felt more naturalistic for Spider-Man.

Thank you for another trip down memory lane! I appreciate it! Yes please do a comparison of the original Spider-Man games for the PlayStation and dreamcast? I'm not sure what else it came out on.

I was really dissapointed with the PS3 version of this game. Thats because I played the PS2 Version beforehand. When I Upgraded to my PS3 I did feel the next gen upgrades but I missed the features of the PS2, especially the ability to change into the Symbiote suit at will. That was such a game changer. Bruce Campbell even said " Your symbiote suit is already maxed out. Who needs to upgrade the black suit anyway?" Its also the reason why I enjoyed Web of Shadows SOOO MUCH. The ability to change to the symbiote suit at will and become stronger is a fantastic Feature. And in WOS you can combine and chain combos in such a cool way like no other Spidey game. WOS is still an amazing game. It just sucked because it was 720p below 30fps. Imagine that game with native 4K@60fps

I played ultimate spiderman and "friend or foe" for hourssss and hours, I hope you keep doing these because it is insane how many we got back then 😂😂

I grew up with the GBA port, and love going back to it from time to time. it's short, and not super polished, but I always have a good time with it.

You forget the Jakks Pacific TV Plug n Play. I was disappointed not seeing it here, but great video regardless. That one was straight fire, it was so much fun

Was one of my most played and replayed games on the PSP man. Loved that little system because of this and few other games!

the john f kennedy joke made me laugh out loud

Gotta say. Spider-Man 3 on the PSP was a fever dream. Upgrading the black suit only to get absolutely demolished by Venom will forever stick with me Aswell as Morbius. Would you believe me if I told you that my child brain couldn't comprehend why dafuck there's a vampire now?

for the next Spider-Man game i think you should talk about Web of Shadows, it was my favourite when i was younger but something i’ve noticed about it is that most people played the xbox/ps3 version but i’ve always found the wii version better, even tho the controls are very janky it’s better for something i don’t see anyone talking about and that’s the fact that you can actually unlock and switch to different suits for both the red/blue and black suits this was an awesome feature exclusive to the wii version, and like i said there isn’t much info i’ve been able to find online about this

Can't wait for the web of shadows video. Great content.

I need to replay this game man I used to love it as a kid, I didn’t really notice any of its flaws when i was younger lol and i also didn’t speak any english to understand the game at all, and i didn’t have a memory card so i had to start from the beginning each time i turned off the console, The villain designs are sick they did a great job raimifying them

What I've been waiting for

I remember when getting to the part where you play was Harry, I would purposely avoid the final boss area and just free roam around the city. It felt so freeing just flying around on a hoverboard.

I remember playing the PSP/PS2 version, it was the first Spider-Man game I have ever played...

the main version you are playing looks nothing like the Xbox 360 version I remember, is that it? Or this the PC version played with a controller? Awesome comparison video as usual!

I was just happy when i got it on the ps2 that it was open world this was my first Spiderman game after the first movie’s game plus the two ps1 games. I freakin loved this game

I played all versions of this game as a kid, even weird online flash games. I was obsessed with Spider-Man 3 lol

I guess you could talk about the Amazing Spider-Man games next. Both movies have been adapted and whats sad about it is that they were the last games based on a Spider-man movie as they were released when Tie-in Movie games were dying out. We never got any games based on the MCU Spider-man (apart from a few VR & mobile games) due to the PS4 Spider-Man game.

I haven't played Spider-man 3 on the Wii since it came out when I was a kid, but I definitely remember loving it. I didn't have a console to play Spider-man 2 when it came out, so I've only experience 3. I thought it was good, but I was young but it does have the best quick time fail of all time. I really loved the web-swinging and how left hand was tied to nunchuck and remote tied to right hand. That's what really sold it for me as a kid. I loved it and I really felt engaged with the Web-Swinging. But I haven't played it since I was a kid, but its nice to just have as a loving childhood memory. Might be ruined if I played it today with my adult brain and more critical thinking, lol.

Drew, please do WEB OF SHADOWS next! Your the best. :)

I had the Wii version. I liked switching between the suits. I didn't like that they mapped the jump and web swing to the Z and the web attacks and web swing to B. I constantly jumped when I wanted to swing and swung when I wanted to attack.

As a kid in the 2000’s we really had a good amount of Spider-man video game content. Spider-man 1, 2, and 3. Ultimate Spider-man, Spider-man friend or foe, Web of Shadows. I played them all multiple times

Spider-man Friend or Foe was Basically Spider-man 4 as it used the designs from the Raimi movies and it had several different versions.

Really hoping we get the Ultimate Spider-Man video. I think that's still my favorite game ever made of the franchise.

I found out early that you can actually destroy the cars in spiderman 3. You just have to do the combo for the web ball machinegun in the blacksuit specifically and they explode after the second volley.

I am glad that my first experience with Spider-Man 3 overall was the PS2 game.

I remember pouring in so many hours into the DS version, with the Wii version being a close second

I used to love this game so damn much 😭 the biggest and craziest memory i have of it Its when you fight the new goblin as peter when he’s about to propose to MJ. For some reason we fought all over the city and ended up in the underground subway where you find Sandman, he ended up killing me and throwing my body in a rag doll outside of the tracks and i remember falling and falling for a good 30-45 seconds just hitting every thing on my way down, for some reason i kept landing in between gaps and holes in the underground subway, he threw me off out of a bridge where the trains pass and ended up in such a weird area at the very very bottom of the map but it didn’t seem like i clipped thru the map, has anyone else found this area in the game?

The PS2 version was actually the first Spider-Man game I owned since the classic 2000 game on PS1 (though I had the N64 version). Since I never owned the Spidey 2 game at that point, playing the open-world gameplay of Spidey 3 was a real blast for me. Also felt the game was actually better than the movie, though it helps that the movie was a letdown compared to the first two. At least Spidey kept his mask on throughout the final boss fight, and Venom looked a lot better than in the movie too. Plus Tobey Maguire certainly proved in each of these games that he was good at being a quippy Spidey, even though he wasn't given the same material to work with in the actual movies.

I had the wii version and I was always jealous of my who had a PS3. I guess I ended up playing the better game in the end
