So how disappointing is the Spider-Man 3 game then? Ok, it's not *that* bad - swinging through Manhattan still has its moments - but far too much of the game is tedious button bashing and the game just feels rushed. It's pretty ugly too and that's on the 360, I've not seen the Wii version yet. But the biggest issue, for me anyway, is that Crackdown has blown the sandbox genre wide open. Compared to the polish, fun and freedom of Crackdown, Spider-Man 3 feels decidedly flat. Not a problem for Crackdown-free PS2 owners obviously, but for 360 owners Spidey 3 is one for diehard fans only.
Spidey falls flat
