A solid game that might become the basic to make spider-man game good again.

Im a fan of spider-man since i was a children.Today,im just collecting the comic books and that it.I also play his videogames but the problem is that most recent games from activision were disapointing.It not the only franchise that have the same problem^tony hawk is a exemple^Spider-man 3 was bad at worse and average at least while fof was a boring beat-em all with little innovation,considering it was a game for children.
When wos was announced,i was kind of interested because the game would feature many stuff that fans asked and at the same time,i always wanted to see a game based on the classic continuty.By doing something slighly different this time,they managed to do a good game at last.Thanks shaba games.
The game is a lot focused on desision based on witch suit and the fighting.And overall they did well in this.The combat are fun and are more deep than previous game^in sm2,you could beat everyone by dodging attack and doing counter,usm was more like spidey but still not enough,sm3 was button mashing and seem to be a rip off of ninja gaiden,only you can`t block,and you dont have sword and magic spell^The control are a lot simpler allowing to take the game in hands easily allowing to do cool combo.When you upgrtade spidey,the fighting become better.
It also more interesting than previous one because the city elvolve when you continue the story.So the ennemies pass from little punk wich you beat by few punch,after it robots who are stronger and then,it those symbiotes who are awesome.Just think about the variety.
You can also change the outcome of the games by dessision who boost the playability of the game.It like shaba games wanted to give people what they want to see in a good spider-man and they managed to impress me.
My big complaint his that except the marvelous boss fight,the game is not so hard to beat and most of the advanced stuff like counter attack feel wortless and the ennemie and objective are easy to beat.So the game is short,you can pass the game several time to see the different endings but that it.Also when you finish the game,press continue again and again and you will restart the game with all the uograde.
I would love seeing combo video on youtube about this game.
Rent it before you buy.This might become a forgoted game in this holidays but it still a enjoyable game for spidey fans and those who want to play something else than gears of wars 2 and far cry 2.
