Product Information

However, the game's choice system received mixed reviews; although some praised how the player is able to create a dynamic experience with their choices, others were critical of the system's limitations.

The DS version of the game, in contrast to the console versions, was relatively well-received, [28] [40] with reviewers praising level design similar to the Castlevania and Metroid franchises while criticizing the short length. With assistance from Moon Knight ( Robin Atkin Downes), Spider-Man defeats Black Cat, who reveals she is working as a double agent to bring down the Kingpin in an attempt to gain Spider-Man's affection. Choose how Spider-Man fights, which powers to upgrade, who in the Marvel universe to fight with or against, and the fate of New York City itself.

D. installs the Tinkerer's completed device, but Symbiote Vulture leads an aerial assault to destroy it. I have no idea how you could stick Spider-Man, Wolverine, Gambit, Arcade, and Carnage into a game and have it suck so bad, but Acclaim, bless their hearts, figured out a way to do it. While we can’t honestly say that it was a total success what we can say is that the good times far outweighed the bad times. Thankfully, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows does this, mostly; while it’s not a perfect game, it’s easily one of the best games based on the wall-crawler ever made, and is a fabulous example of a GOOD licensed game. The mission structure and open world design isn't always compelling, but the core mechanics of web swinging and the nice HD graphics help to compensate.

Points are acquired as he battles crime and advances, which allows him to improve his moves and actions.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a fun, fast paced, enjoyable game that is unfortunately hurt by some odd technical issues, which keep it from achieving true greatness. From the game's direction to Spider-Man's destiny, Spider-Man®: Web of Shadows puts control in your hands. The revival will be successful if Spider-Man receives enough health orbs before a time limit is reached. However, the end of these battles is almost always a quick-time event, which can be very frustrating, especially if you think quick-time events ****. It doesn't do it all the time, but after a long climb up a building you do not want the camera to sharply cut away, thus leaving you open for attack from the dozen enemies on said roof top.

GameSpy commented that " Web of Shadows manages to provide a good deal of fun even if it doesn't bring much new to the table", praising the animation and combat, and mentioning camera problems and visual glitches along with a repetition of objectives. After defeating Jackal, Spider-Man recovers the generator and programs it to either destroy or control the symbiotes.Now, as one would expect, simply pressing the attack button will unleash all sorts of painful attacks unto your enemies, and it’s easy enough to take out most enemies by simply relying upon this, but that completely ignores the awesome additions the developers have added to the combat system. Character models are highly detailed and animate well, while the city has some extra textural passes that make it feel a bit more gritty and realistic. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows gives you an unprecedented level of gameplay choice, including for the first time, control over the game's direction and outcome. The PS2 and PSP versions are rendered entirely in 3D but presented as a side-scrolling 2D action game. The Wii version does a surprisingly good job of matching the massive open world environment from the PS3 and 360 versions of the game.

If they helped the Green Goblin twice, Spider-Man realizes that, with the symbiote leader gone, he is now in charge of the symbiotes. Devastated by the invasion, New York City is itself transformed with enormous, hanging symbiote hives and infected symbiotes, providing gamers with epic never-before seen visuals and enemies. The feeling one got from these two games was simple: the concept had become stale and needed an overhaul, one that stripped away the tedious and frustrating elements of the games and replaced them with simple, easy to use combat mechanics and a lot more Spider-Man personality. Spider Man: Web of Shadows for Microsoft Xbox 360 is an action-adventure game with sandbox and RPG elements.For more on each version, make sure to read Greg Miller's reviews for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, and PSP.
