Released for the Game Boy Advance in 2007, Spider-Man 3 is an action-adventure game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision. It blends action-adventure and platformer elements.

It landed about 6 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2007 include TMNT, Arctic Tale and Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth.

It is part of the Spider-Man series; on the GBA you can also try Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace, Spider-Man: Battle for New York and Ultimate Spider-Man. The series also appears on other systems with Spider-Man (N64) and Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six (NES). Vicarious Visions also made SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, Tony Hawk's Underground and Shrek 2 for the GBA.

Spider-Man 3 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Spider-Man 3 is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
