Spider-Man 3 (game)

The game retains many gameplay elements from previous games, among which - a free journey through Manhattan , which has now become huge. Various changes were introduced to the control and combat system. In the Nintendo DS version, control of the battle takes place only on the touch screen, and the D-pad is used only to control the movement of Spider-Man. Also introduced the ability during the game to transform from ordinary Spider-Man into black, which gives some new tricks. (However, you can buy these tricks for a red and blue suit.). The game uses the mechanics of the console version of the previous game . In a black suit, Spider-Man is becoming faster, more agile, and stronger. This gives him more opportunities in the fight against crime, and thus he frees the city of New York from villains.
