My biggest complaint with Spider-Man 3 was just that it got way too stale. It was just SM2 with a slightly better graphics engine and the side missions with the gangs were so tedious
How the heck do people still say that? SM2 & SM3 are the best to me, and they are more different than the same, only similarities they have are being open world based on Raimi's movies
Combat is different, it has plenty of upgrades
Wallsprint got upgraded (I wish it was better, but it still is fun)
Web attacks have the largest variety here
Multi subdue
Hang from many poles
This game had him finally funny after the PS1 games, until SD came which had more funnies he was the funniest here
They removed the "Don't hit your face with my fist" annoying line from the previous 2 games
Dual swing was different
There are points where you can solve them in two different ways
You take photos this time instead of standing on a token and pressing a button
He finally swims, I wanted that
Spider-Sense
Freedom of choosing story segments (that should never have been criticized the way it was, they said it more than once, freedom of choice)
The first game to make the symbiote more than a suit, it had some fancy powerful attacks of its own like annihilator, and ragee mode made him much much stronger
Free fall side quests, I love those
It got bashed because it didn't really bring anything new to the table.
It did plenty of things I was wishing for in a spidey game for a long time
Sure the button sequences were kind of cool looking, but they weren't fun by any means.
I hated them at first, hated them for a while, seeing how the sequence stay the same and never changes I loved the game more after finishing the game the 12th time
