Play Spider-Man 3 (FireX) (F) Online

Spider-Man 3 on the Nintendo DS came out in 2007, published by Activision. It was one of many licensed games on the system, trying to capture the movie's energy on a handheld. The DS version stood apart from its console counterparts, built for shorter play sessions and simpler mechanics.

You control Spider-Man, swinging through a condensed New York City divided into small, connected areas. The main goal is to stop a series of villains, following a loose adaptation of the film's plot. Signature mechanics include using the touch screen for quick time events and special moves, along with basic combo-based brawling against groups of thugs. The pacing is brisk, with missions that rarely overstay their welcome, though some boss fights can feel repetitive. It feels like a straightforward, portable brawler that makes decent use of the hardware.
