Customer Ratings & Reviews

Despite a general lack of professional reviewing before its release, I took a chance on the $60 purchase of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (WoS). This Spidey outing, again from Treyarch, features much of the same gameplay and dynamic that we have come to expect from a sandbox Spider-Man game: the "side missions" are similar (i.e. beat up gangs, rescue civilians, etc. for XP points which are used to buy upgrades to spidey's fighting ability). Also, fans of past Spider-Man games like 2 and 3 will be happy to know that WoS is fully 3D free-roaming, and not a "side scroll" format like Spider-Man: Friend or Foe was. The main difference in WoS and previous iterations of Spider-Man is seen in the combat dynamic- it is definitely the greatest improvement over previous games. Spidey is now able to "web strike", or aerially attack, enemies in various different ways that is really successful in bringing across the acrobatic ability of the comic book hero. In fact, Spider-Man's combat abilities are the focus of the "upgrades" in his abilities now, unlike in SM2. Other differences in WoS and previous Spider-Man games include a smoother overall swing and travel animations, the ability choose your own destiny with the use of the symbiote Black Suit (for generally more destructive use, heh heh) as well as an interesting "Ally" feature where you will team up with other heroes from the Spider-Man universe. Additionally, I have to disagree with some of the critics who pointed to WoS being too short; they obviously didn't attempt any of the side challenges. Overall, I have to give this game a 5/5 because I think it is definitely the best Spider-Man game yet. It develops many of the cool aspects of some of the previous games while leaving out much of the filler. The combat, webslinging, and storyline are all developed to a great extent, and it is definitely worth a rental for the casual Spider-Man fan, and a purchase for the fanatic.

Well i first the Luke Cage part was like stupid and then it got better you see black cat very hot then everything gets crazy you see woverline and Moon knight which is who exactly i never seened him well u started to kicked everyones butt then u have to fight the smbolyits which i cant spell lol yea it is a good game but needs to be harder i beat it in two days and where is carnage.

the best thing about this game is the fact you can choose whether or not you want to be a good guy or a bad guy. i just love all the moves that you can do with the different suits. although the red suits moves are far better i would recommend the use of the black suits moves for fighting multiple enemies. i also love the fact that they brought back black cat into the mix (SHE IS HOT!!!!!!!!) other than that, this is the best spider-man game ever made; they just need to fix the camera angles.

Everything about this game is nice maybe the leveling up is annoying because you have to collect tokens around the city and there will be one point when you would be lyk ughh i dont want to get more but its not that annoying you could deal with it. Also the optional missions are kind of bothering but as i said OPTIONAL you dont have to do them but if you do you get more exp so you could buy new cooler moves for spiderman the red suit or black suit.

Bought this game the day it came out, and I was hooked playing! If your a Spider-Man fan, you will love this game!

the gameplay is repetitive and boring, the story is lame, and a lot of wtf moments are in this game.i battled wolverine at one point and he jumped on a wall and started asking me pointless questions, this is just one of many examples.this game was also very easy to beat. i recommend this game to a child 10 years or younger, this game is mainly mindless button mashing and swinging from buildings.
