Vicarious Visions developed the game for the Wii,[2] PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. The PS2 and PSP will both receive the same game design as the Wii version.[1] The Wii version will however utilize its Wii Remote to perform various moves and deliver the sensation of swinging through the city via the Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuk. + IGN's review of the title remained mostly negative, giving it a 5.7 out of 10. Though the game portion of the web-site did promote the game, it later came back in several reviews for different formats complaining of frame rate and boring combat.
It was revealed on IGN that these versions will include 2 bonus villains: Morbius, the Living Vampire, and Shriek.[3] + IGN's review scores:
The PSP version will offer an expansive free roaming city. The PSP, PS2, and Wii version will have a city that is 2.5 times larger than the city in the PS2 version of Spider-Man 2.
According to GameStop/EB Games they will exclusively carry the Spider-Man 3: Special Edition game for the PS2 which will include: a bonus DVD featuring "Spider-Man 3: The Story Behind the Web", an exclusive interview with Stan Lee, the Spider-Man 3 movie trailers, and a collectible lenticular card with an image from the movie.
Unlike the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, in which Spider-Man's transformations into black-suited Spider-Man are scripted events, the player will be able to use the black suit at any time, and switch between it and Spider-Man's regular costume at will. This suit powers up Spider-Man's attacks and allows him to move faster. However, there are drawbacks to this. In the PS2 version of the game, in order to successfully switch back to Spidey's normal costume, you need to complete a button combo, which increases in duration the more you use the symbiote suit. Another down point is that over time, if the player does not switch back to the regular suit, Spider-Man's Rage (which is represented by a meter and a black haze that builds on the screen) will increase. If the Rage meter is filled, Spider-Man will black out and wake up in a completely different part of the city. Also, there might have been a situation (such as a robbery) that he might have missed. When this happens, the city's Satisfaction Rate (their confidence in Spider-Man) will decrease. Excessive use of the black suit for prolonged periods will cause the city to spiral into a state of disrepair. Trash will litter the streets, the skies will turn grey and grow increasingly darker, trees, grass; all vegetation will die, cracks will appear in the pavement, buildings and the black suit darken, and the number of enemies will increase. Hospitals will leave the city, making it harder to find one and heal yourself. There will also be different unlockables compared to the PS3 & Xbox 360 version of the game.[4]
