![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Neither Spider-Man 3 nor The Amazing Spider-Man 2 really wow with their graphics and by the time TASM2 rolled around, we already had seen a virtual New York City recreated in a Spider-Man game five times, making it considerably less special. NOTE: There are many different versions of these games, but for the purpose of this feature, I’m looking at the “current generation” versions of both: The Xbox 360 for Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on the PS4. I’m going to break things down into four categories : graphics, gameplay, acting and replay value and determine once and for all which is the worse Spider-Man movie game: Spider-Man 3 or The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Amazing Spider-Man 2, similar to Spider-Man 3, also arrived during the time of a change in the console cycle, though at the time Spider-Man 3 arrived in stores, that particular generation was well under way, but people (including myself) were also still clinging onto their PS2’s. With respect to the games, they too followed up really good chapters and should have easily been good as all there respective developers had to do was build upon what already worked.These films poor reception by fans torpedoed any future planned installments as well as spin-off’s and forced a continuity reboot. In the case of the movies, both SM3 and TASM2 failed to build upon really good chapters and each tried to cram in way too much stuff into their run times to the point of silliness.Sorry about all of the Spider-Man themed articles as of late, it’s just that after the news last month about Sony leasing Spider-Man to Marvel Studios I went Spidey crazy and just started playing games I had never tried before (like Spider-Man 3) and replaying ones I had ( The Amazing Spider-Man). While it might be more appropriate to compare Spider-Man 2 against The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as they were both the tie-in games to the second chapter in their respective series, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as a game has a lot in more in common with Spider-Man 3, both as a movie and as a video game:
