Web of Shadows displays a new path for all future Spider-Man games.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is an action adventure sandbox-style game featuring arguably the most popular superhero in the world. I have played every Spider-Man game to date and I was disappointed by most of them, save for notable exceptions such as Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man. Those who enjoyed the realism of these games will be very satisfied with Shadows, even more if you are also a comic book fan. Shadows puts you in the role of the titular character and gives you almost unlimited access to New York City. I will now list the pros and cons.
PROS:
- The perfected web-swinging mechanic in any Spider-Man game.
- Story that feels like the great comic book plots we find the webslinger often in.
- Fun combat system that puts you into the feel of having spider-strength.
- The new web-strike mechanic is stylish.
- Amazing technical graphics.
- Great boss fights with favorite villains such as Venom, Electro and Vulture.
- Ability to switch between red and symbiote suits.
- Spidey can run up buildings like Naruto and slides down them with amazing ease and finesse.
CONS:
- Might feel a little too easy.
- A little on the short side.
- Camera might irritate at times.
VERDICT:
If you are a fan of the wallcrawler, and if, like me, you were disappointed with the previous games, then Web of Shadows will satisfy you and make you glad that there is atleast one godd Spider-Man game. Even if you are not interested in Spidey, this is one of the best made superhero games ever and definitely the best Spider-Man game of all time. My verdict is: GO FOR IT!
