An agile, web-spinning hero swings nimbly through the canyonesque streets of Manhattan. But the formerly gleaming city is no longer what it was. A deadly symbiote invasion has descended, and the city lies strewn with enormous, hanging symbiote hives and infected symbiotes. Only Spider-Man can save the city from certain doom — but he has his own shadows to confront. As he battles against the ominous alien invasion, will he choose the grace and speed of Spidey's traditional Red Suit and align himself with other great heroes? Or will he heed the siren's call of the Black Suit and all the sinister power it provides, thus choosing the path of the vigilante instead?
In Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, you'll encounter a city and a hero with greater depth than ever before in a Spider-Man game. Scale buildings that climb into the sky and engage in ferocious vertical battles on city walls. Destroy storefronts and vehicles as you use anything and everything in your vicinity as a weapon. Switch between the Black Suit and the Red Suit to take advantage of each suit's specific powers, and earn experience points you can use to upgrade either suit, thus enhancing the abilities you find most advantageous. Join forces with legendary Marvel heroes and villains to combat the alien menace, but beware — the game's morality meter tracks the public's reaction to your decisions. Do you prefer a citizenry that embraces you as a hero, or one that cowers in fear before your terrible power? In Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, the decision is yours to make.
