SpiderMan 3 review - DS

In the wake of this summer's Spiderman 3 blockbuster movie, all the major games platforms have featured a SpiderMan 3 game, and the DS is no exception. You control Spidey as he swings through the city on a series of missions, slinging webs and fighting enemies ranging from minor crooks to super-villains. The game follows the movie for the most part, and the translation to the DS is pretty effective. We've played the game extensively this month and can tell you all about it. Check out our SpiderMan 3 review for Nintendo DS to find out more.

SpiderMan 3 review for Nintendo DS
In line with current Hollywood trends the hero of the latest Spider- Man movie goes all moody and gets himself a black costume. We blame Marilyn Manson for this shocking corporate adoption of all things Gothic. We’re not about to give away major plot spoilers but what does this mean in terms of Spider-Man 3 the videogame? A rage meter.
Yep, it’s hardly the most stunning gameplay innovation but at least it shows the developer had a copy of the script. In fact, quality is evident throughout this game, from the glorious scrolling cityscapes to the focus on stylus touchscreen combat. And it’s here where the game comes to life. With your left thumb solely in charge of Spider-Man’s dynamic webslinging the right hand is free to make stylus gestures on the touchscreen to take out assailants. While it might sound a little awkward it’s actually a beautifully implemented system.
