I have to say, when I first caught wind of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows I was unexpectedly surprised by how interesting the game’s combat looked. Not content with simply throwing a few punch-punch-punch-ranged web attack combos, the Spider-Man in this game was shown moving from ground, to building, to aerial combat with extreme fluidity and grace. In short, it looked really awesome and made me want to try the game out right then and there.

Unfortunately, due to the whole “not being done yet” thing I’m forced to wait it out until Web of Shadows releases for everything that you can play videogames on this fall. Oh well, at least there are nice looking videos like the one above releasing regularly to tide me over until then. And hey, was that a symbiotic-infected Wolverine there at the end? Nice.

Seems a lot darker than usual to me. It's not a bad thing, but I wasn't expecting it in a Spider-Man game.

I've heard that there's a moral system in the game. If you spend enough time in the black costume then villains will offer you alliances rather than attack you.

Interesting concept at least.

This is what a Spiderman game should be like. Like an issue of the comic material and not those dumb films.

This might be the first Spidey game I buy, it looks groovy. And Wolverine is big plus too.

This video is definitely a few weeks old. I'm surprised you guys are posting it late. I don't mean to make an ass of myself, but this is old news :|

The reason they're posting it is because it was on G4.com

I've never seen the video before and I have to say, "AMAZING"

@"This is old!" people

Activision sent it to us saying that it was a new trailer for Leipzig. Curse them and their lying ways!

Yes! A return to the original 3D Spiderman. Can't not think about the PSone game when I watch an amazing trailer like this.

Did Worlverine get a symbiote in the comics? If not, kudos to this team for some good writing concepts.
