Inexcusable: Spiderman 3’s Graphics for Wii

May 06, 2007 in News comments 22

I never thought I would see such terrible graphics on the Wii, but it's not the Wii to blame, it's the developer. This game is supposed to be a quality game but a lazy developer had created it and the results are negative reviews and awful graphics as you can see below.

Upon looking through IGN’s review section, I came across the newly developed Wii game, Spiderman 3. Alas, it received a 5.4/10 (from IGN), which is not good at all. I then proceeded to look at the screen shots for the game, and was stricken by how bad the graphics looked.

Do textures really have to look this bad on the Wii? I am sorry but, as a Wii owner, I am highly dissatisfied with the way developers are handling the graphics for Wii games. The PS2 version looks better than this, and we know for a fact that the Wii has more powerful hardware than the PS2.

We, as a gaming community, need to start pushing these developers to make quality games and not just sloppy ports.

      What do you expect? Just another movie made into a crappy game.

      When developers are lazy, this is what happens. The Wii is capable of producing graphics better then the Xbox, but it's all up to the developers.

    Yeah, the textures on buildings disappear when you go really high.

    The PS3 version has a lot of problems with pop-up too, at least in my game. I expect better!

    The PS3 has a lot of problems with the graphics too, but nothing like the Wii.

    On the PS3, there is tons of pop-up, and I just noticed that when you get a certain distance, Pedestrians become 2-D and look like the crowds in old school sports games, and they move like they're on wheels. When you get close to them, they all start to disappear. They really should have worked on these issues.

    Gameplay is buggy. I have the game on the PS2, the graphics are much better than the Wii's version but the gameplay is nowhere near as good as Spiderman 2.

      A 5.7 is pretty bad. The first Spiderman game got higher ranking than that, and it was on the PS one.

    That's inexcusable, alright. I don't care too much for graphics but this is pushing it for a next-gen. Come on, ActiVision.

    Even the PS1 Spiderman titles were made better than this one.

    Hm, this is strange. From the trailer I saw, the graphics looked stunning. So, I'm not really sure. I did ponder about buying it, but it looks like I'll be renting it first.

    For a Spiderman 3 game for the Wii, I am disappointed the creators didn't put in that much work. It's Spiderman 3 for God's sake!! >=P

    Oye, thats just sad... I had Spiderman (1) for the gamecube and the graphics were much better than this. I know the general rep. of movie games, but I figured Spiderman would be different somehow...

    Normally I wouldn't expect much from a movie-based game, but Spider-Man 2 rocked, so you can imagine how disappointed I was with this one.

    My friend recently bought this game and he almost cried in rage. He was expecting the game to be the best Spiderman game of all time, and It sucked horribly. He took it back and got a refund. I don't think the game is that bad, but it does lack good graphics. I feel bad for the kid.
