Web of Shadows can get awfully repetitive, but this simple-yet-stylish action game still manages to make being Spider-Man feel awesome.

As a result, the entire city is cut off from the outside world. Spider-Man has to work with both heroes and villains from the Marvel Comics universe to track down Venom and stop the invasion before he himself is consumed by the symbiote attached to him. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is based completely on the Marvel Comics and is not related to any movie.At this point, characters that have been confirmed are Kingpin, Luke Cage, Mary Jane Watson, Venom, Vulture, and Wolverine.

The game is set in the mainstream Marvel Comics universe. Like its predecessors Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man, the game will allow free-roaming action, and players will be able to customize Spider-Man's aerial and ground combat. Shaba Games wants to blend web slinging and combat together to make this Spider-Man game, unlike any other to date.
As a result of being infected by the symbiote Spider-Man will have a black suit similar to that of Venom's, rather than the enhanced costume seen in Spider-Man 3. During the course of the game the player will be able to instantaneously swap between the red and black suits with the press of a button, whether you are in the air, running, or in combat. The two suits represent the player's skills and moral allignment.
The red suit gameplay involves speed and heavy use of web-based attacks. The black suit, on the other hand, embraces strength rather than speed. Use of this suit will allow players to use symbiote based attacks such as springing tendrils from the suit to smash enemies, this suit also allows the player to perform such feats as lifting cars in the air and throwing them at his opponents.In addition, players will actually be able to swim instead of either dying or climbing out of the water immediately.
Depending on which suit the player uses most, the city will begin to see Spider-Man as either a hero or a rebel. This moral allignment well not determine which tasks Spider-Man takes on, instead it determines whom his allies will be. Should the city see Spider-Man as a rebel he will team up with villains to destroy Venom, but if the city sees Spider-Man as a heroic savior he will team up with other well known heroes to stop the invasion of New York City. The decisions the player makes will result in consequences, be it for good or evil. These decisions will determine the outcome of the game.
In the DS version of the game, the game is a Castlevania Style Platformer, featuring a large 2.5D world to Explore.
