Summary

Game Description

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a video game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP, DS, and PC, and it's based on the Marvel Comics superhero. Venom returns to New York with a deadly symbiote that has taken control of the Manhattan area. As Spider-Man, you must work with both heroes and villains from the Marvel Comics universe to track down Venom and stop the invasion before it's too late. Like Treyarch's previous Spider-Man games, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man, the game will allow free-roaming action, and you'll be able to customize and choose Spider-Man's aerial and ground combat. For the first time in a Spider-Man game, you'll be able to choose the game's outcome and Spider-Man's path. There are multiple endings depending on how the game is played out. You'll also decide which villain to fight against, plus you'll be able to switch between Spidey's original red-and-blue suit, and the Symbiote suit at any time during gameplay.

  • Oct. 20, 2008 Review: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (PS3)

    Dart past a couple panels when flipping through a comic book and you're not likely miss much. Even if there's a page torn out, you can still get through it without much trouble. You might miss out on a minor plot point or get left out of some nuances, but that doesn't make the experience any less enjoyable. A great comic combines stunning artwork with cool characters and an intriguing plot--it's a sum greater than the parts. That's the spin on Spidey's newest adventure. Web of Shadows is fantastic fun even though a few pages have been disappointingly left out.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Awesome action makes up for several shortcomings including a spastic camera and random technical glitches. Web of Shadows delivers the best combat system of any Spider-Man game to date and intense boss battles to go with it. An imperfect effort, but an entertaining one nonetheless.
