Ummm... do you realise the Wii/PS2 versions were done by a DIFFERENT company, right? NOT the same company that made the PS3/360/Next-gen versions??

...

I'm really not sure on that. But Alot of games are done using a engine. I'm tempted to rent the Wii version, and the PS3 version, and take pictures and show you the quality diffrence, and the big diffrences. The textures on the Wii version are strikingly similar to the PS3 version. I'll look into the geometry thing. Find a flaw in a model or something, and see if it is on both versions. Becuase if it is, this is 100% the same game. I glanced over most of the screenshots, and overall they are totally diffrent content.

What you say about the PC engine, is what I am meaning. It's like they use the same engine, just a diffrent company tuned it for the Wii... And whatever company did it, needs to be *sued*.

Well, if Activision are LYING about this... they should just be shot. Its quite possible that both teams worked together (shared some resources, etc..) but if they use the same engine (or even the same BASE engine) the producer(s) at Activision should be shot.

Activision have had a pretty good couple of years - putting out (mainly?) quality titles. I really hope this hurts them badly (Superman: The Movie! - badly...), and they never do it again.

Here is a quote from the IGN preview of the game:

If you think Spider-Man 3 for Wii is a quick and dirty port of the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game of the same name, you've got it all wrong. What most people don't realize - not even die-hard Nintendo fans - is that software house Vicarious Visions has designed the Wii build totally separately from the others and it is more or less a ground-up project complete with original content, unique controls, and individual mission structures. In short, it's different and it actually has been tailor-made for Wii. The question is, does that make it any good?

And here is another screenshot... this one looks a lot better. Maybe they just designed the game to look good "up close", and forgot about distance shots...
