Activision sent over a press release letting us know that Spider-Man 3 for the PSP is now available.

In Spider-Man 3 for the PSP system, players must draw upon Spider-Man’s unique combat and powerful, upgradeable moves to protect the citizens of Manhattan by defeating arch-rivals from the blockbuster film as well as classic Marvel villains during missions and epic boss battles. In the PSP system exclusive Conquest Mode, missions must be completed by dawn, and if successful, players will be rewarded generously with Hero Points, which allow them to upgrade and customize their Spider-Man skills.

I was disappointed with Spider-Man 3 on the PS3, after really loving the first two movie-based games. Hopefully the camera has been re-worked for the PSP, which was the biggest issue with the console title.

Here’s the full press release:
