    Best Spider-Man game

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a game that gets bashed on for no reason since it's a comic book game. I'll admit it has it's flaws, but a few of them aren't see. The story for web of shadows is an orginal story that has New York being taken over by the sybiotes and Venom. The story starts with you learning your abilities and is O.K and the end is actually pretty intresting. All the review I'm seeing "the 1st part sucks since it's too convoluted and doesn't make sence" Yes it does, it teaches you your abilities and makes sence. You can also choose the light and dark paths, this changes the story and makes you want to be a hero or bad guy, this is cool. O.K is the gameplay good? Yes, it is. The gameplay awesome and gets bashed on. The combat is actually awesome. You can upgrade your ability and the moves are actually fun to use. Yes it's button mashing, but it's intresting. I always see "the combat get repeative," No its not, you haven't even used these abilities, there actually fun to use. Its also exsesible so causal games can do it to. It's fun and the bosses are actually challenging and fun. Web Slinging is also back and as fun as hell. The game that does have it's problems. Yes, the game does get repeative, but thanks to the combat, it not a big problem, bit still a problem. Another thing is that the escort missions are boring, but it's a given. O.K now the Graphics. The game isn't the best looking game on the next gen system, but I like the look of the game, the gaphics look good. The character models look awesome and animate great, and the city looks good, despite re-used buildings, but it's not a huge issue. I don't know why people are bashing the looks like saying there's bad hit ditection, glitches and what not. Now there are some glitches, 2 in fact. 1 is that there are street that you act like your still in the air, and there's where the game freezes on you during cutscence. Other than those, that's it. I see no bad hit ditection, some slow down, and what not. O.K now what about the sound. The music is good, and the voice acting for the most part is good to decient, I have 1 exception, and that is Spider-Man. Where are your ball Spidy? I know Peter Parker is a nerd, but not a 12 year going through puberty. Spider-Man Web of Shadows is actually a good game. Don't say it sucks just because it's a comic book game. The combat is tight, web swinging is awesome. The graphics are pretty good, and the story is intresting. I say get. It's the best Spider-Man game I've played, and it's much better than that piece of **** know as Spider-Man 3 the game. I liked the movie. It's a good game, if you're a fan of Spider-Man, I say get it, If you're a fan of action games and Sand-box games, rent it first and see if you like it. I give it a 4 out of 5.

      I wish I was Playing Ultimate Spider-Man 0

      That’s not to say that Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a terrible game; hell it’s not even a bad game. It’s just a mixed bag of weird shit. The game tried something that I haven’t ever seen a video game do before: It laid out all the shitty stuff up front, and then slowly gave you the good parts later on. Sure, I’ve seen shitty, piss-poor games. I’ve seen games that started good, gave hints of the tides turning, and then completely raped my dog (figuratively speaking). Spider-Man: WoS isn’t one o...

      Surprisingly Fun Spidey Title 0

       After the disaster that was Spider-Man 3 and the insultingly kiddy Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, we have a new Spider-Man game. In this one, Venom and a...well, shitload of symbiotes are taking over Manhattan. You are forced to help a wide array of people to try and deal with the symbiotes, with allies ranging from S.H..I.E.L.D to Kingpin. Now, the excellent web swinging mechanic is still in full effect. Swinging feels amazing. The feeling of speed is palpable. The combat has some combos, b...
