Trivia[]

It's unknown why Kraven is not in the PC/PS2/GameCube versions of the first game, it's possible that it is because the Xbox has more power than the others.
Even though Kraven gets away in the PS3/Xbox 360/PC versions of Spider-Man 3, he does actually get defeated in the PS2/Wii/PSP versions of the game. In the PS2/Wii/PSP versions, Spider-Man webs Kraven's sword to his hand, knocks him in a corner, grabs a sewer floor grate, and throws it towards the corner, trapping him and leaving him for the police.
Coincidentally, Kraven the Hunter in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 would also hunt The Lizard and turn him into a Mega Lizard
