Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Xbox 360)

Product Information

The sad thing, unfortunately, is that most videogames based on the web-swinger aren’t particularly good. As the players progress through the story, they will also obtain upgrades that will allow them to explore more of the open world map and eventually reach the end of the game, similarly to the Castlevania and Metroid franchises.

The game balance also fluctuates somewhat unreasonably in difficulty towards the end of the game; most of the later missions fluctuate between incredibly easy and unrelentingly painful, and while completing the game isn’t impossible, it just seems stupid that the final section of the game is actually harder than the boss that follows it, for example. This probably isn't anything you're average consumer would notice, but experienced gamers will appreciate the relative smoothness of the 360 version.

Devastated by the invasion, New York City is itself transformed with enormous, hanging symbiote hives and infected symbiotes, providing gamers with epic never-before seen visuals and enemies. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a video game title encompassing three versions: a full-3D action-adventure game set in an open world for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360; a 2. jogo bom p krlh, gráficos muito bons pra época, que envelheceram bem ao longo dos anos, nesse jogo parece q o homem aranha é deus, os ataques dele são MT bons, a história,aaaah a história, maravilhosa!

The PS2 and PSP versions are initially fun to play, offering a comfortable take on old school 2D brawling. As the generator is powered up, Spider-Man finds a symbiote-filled fountain containing seven serpent heads with Venom's consciousness. There are some exploration elements and hidden rooms, but you'll usually be moving from left to right while punching and kicking an assortment of thugs and symbiote-infected citizens.

Upon release, the game received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics, who singled out the boss fights, destructive combat, original story, gameplay and open-ended nature. I loved Spider-Man 2, for example, because it combined everything great about Spider-Man with everything great about Grand Theft Auto into a mostly enjoyable game (and it featured the Black Cat, which is always awesome), but while Spider-Man 3 had missions involving Captain Jean DeWolff (which gives me hope that Spider-Man 4 will feature The Prowler, if nothing else), that doesn’t change the fact that it was a fairly god-awful game, and Ultimate Spider-Man wasn’t all that much better. the other hand, a sizable chunk of the story concept seems to have been lifted wholesale from Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.I thought the web slinging around and fighting would be quite fun, but its so awful, the graphics are detailed, but for some reason it doest work. Batman’s a good dramatic character, Superman’s a world-saving juggernaut, and Wolverine’s an ass-kicking badass, but it’s hard to empathize with a crazy rich dude, an alien who wears a human costume, or an ancient angry guy who pretty much can’t die. There are no extra motion controls for the PS3 version, but it does support rumble if you have a DualShock3 controller. Spider-Man discovers he has more control over the symbiote, and easily defeats Venom, who flees afterward. The PS2, PSP, and DS versions of the game all control well for the kinds of game they are, but their simple nature can't quite compete with the dizzy thrills of the HD versions.

As it is, Web of Shadows is still a solid, enjoyable game that’s mostly worth playing, and comes highly recommended to fans of the franchise and the character; the flaws might put off the more casually interested player, but for everyone else, the flaws simply render the game LESS great than it deserves to be. Thanks to the symbiote suit potentially influencing his actions, however, Spidey will be put into the position of having to make several different choices across the course of his campaign, all of which will ultimately influence the fate of New York, and while Spidey himself might not be willing to make the difficult choices, his symbiote will often have no such qualms. The Wii version is left with the comparatively flat sounding Dolby Pro Logic II, which isn't as full-bodied and immersive as the PS3 and 360 versions. Now, as one would expect, simply pressing the attack button will unleash all sorts of painful attacks unto your enemies, and it’s easy enough to take out most enemies by simply relying upon this, but that completely ignores the awesome additions the developers have added to the combat system. Character models are highly detailed and animate well, while the city has some extra textural passes that make it feel a bit more gritty and realistic.Choose how Spider-Man fights, which powers to upgrade, who in the Marvel Universe to fight with or against, and the fate of New York City itself. He encounters Wolverine ( Steve Blum), who is also hunting symbiotes and mistakes Spider-Man for one, but the two settle their differences after a brief fight.

With assistance from Moon Knight ( Robin Atkin Downes), Spider-Man defeats Black Cat, who reveals she is working as a double agent to bring down the Kingpin in an attempt to gain Spider-Man's affection.Four days prior, Spider-Man has an encounter with Venom ( Keith Szarabajka), during which part of the latter's symbiote attaches itself to Spider-Man, recreating his black suit. Unable to contact any scientific genius, Spider-Man reluctantly breaks the Tinkerer (William Utay) out of Ryker's Island, with help from an incarcerated Rhino ( Fred Tatasciore), so that he would create a device to destroy the symbiotes without harming the hosts.
