The screenshots look very slick. Anyone else think that this game reminds them of Spiderman 3(DS)? That game also had 2.5D graphics and touch screen combat.

I was disappointed with the console version. It was so repetitive. I might be able to tolerate it on a handheld.

i preordered this game, but i might cancel it after reading some of the previews. i never played spiderman3(ds) but i did play spiderman 2 and that’s what this game reminds me of - with the 2.5d graphics and special moves controlled by the touch screen and taking a break out of gameplay to do certain things by touch screen minigames…ugh.
