My thougts on Spider Man:Web of shadows
themaninthejacket \| 3:25 PM on 05.09.2009	9 comments

Well i have to say its not as bad as you think.

I have read and seen so many reviews about this game and they all butcher it.

I think this game is actually OK its not a great game but OK. I mean swinging around as spider man is just fun and the combat system though some what easy to master is extremely cool and fun. I mean you can win the game with just pressing one butte but i found it much more fun to learn the different combos and aerial techniques.

The frame rate issue many reviewers mention did not really bother me and i found the game running smoothly most of the time. Also the story not having a movie tie in made it alright, i mean its corny and predictable but still decent enough to play through it. The voice work was good almost every where except spider man the guy that they got for spider man is the worst he really takes the fun out of this game.

And being able to change costumes on the fly makes it an even better experience.

Now for all he good thing in this game there are still some bad things. Like the game is to easy you get way to strong way to fast. And the camera can bee and issue some times( i only had it during boss fights in the first 2 chapters) Other than the terrible spider man voice this game is a solid 6,5 out of 10 for me. You should get it if you find it cheap (like i did) or rent it. Dont let the reviews scare you from this game it is OK, mediocre but still there is some entertainment value in it.

Spiderman games only need one thing to make them good , a good web swinging mechaninc ; that's what made Spiderman 2 so freking awesome , but no one got it right after that ...

@chirstiangamer
Yeah , it reminded me of a great GBA Spiderman sidescoller but with a little of backtracking and better combat ...

Aaron Mxy Yost

Easily the best console Spider-Man game to date. Improves on its predecessors in every single way, especially the combat. Just another reason why I don't trust the majority of game reviewers out there.

Mxyzptlk: I wouldn't say it it was an improvement over them in every single way... in fact I'd say the character design and voice acting(I never thought I'd miss hearing a bored Tobey Maguire). But with that said I still enjoyed the game... The combat was pretty fun.

Aaron Mxy Yost

I'll take the new guy over bored Tobey Maguire any day... In fact, the only time he actually bugged me was when he was being overly dramatic ("WHERE'S MJ!?!?!"). I've heard much worse voice acting in more critically acclaimed games. Not sure what you mean by character design, since Spidey's look is pretty much straight from the comics. I will say I thought Ultimate's art style and voice acting were better, but that game gets serious point deductions due to the simple fact that you can beat it in three hours.

Chibi_Zero

I'm not saying it's the worst voice acting I have ever heard. Most of the voices are tolerable.. but I just can't stand spidey's voice. And Spidey looks fine, it's the people without masks(And Wolverine) that look horrible.

I actually loved the swing mechanics in this game thought it felt like a mixture between ultimate spider man and spider man 2. Also loved the running on the walls reminded me of Hulk Ultimate Destruction.
