Spider-Man Web Of Shadows Is one of if not the BEST Spider-Man game out there!
It holds up VERY well still to this day and does so many things that Marvel would NEVER do now.
A game with 4 different endings in this timeline that the game was released was a very uncommon thing
The story is dark and one of the most interesting Spider-Man stories out there when it comes to Venom and the Symbiote
This game also offered us the idea of Marvel Heroes becoming Symbiotes which had never really been done and now we see it happening all the time in comics and probably will see this happen in live-action in a few decades.
This game did things that had never been done within the Marvel universe
The web swinging would probably be the only issue within the game. but it's amazing combat/aerial combat are things that have yet to be done in today's Spider-Man games.
I love this game.

I love this game.
Even playing the worst version of this game was still a blast. Web of Shadows is the Eurojank Mutation of what my ideal Spider-Man game would be. Its super ambitious, its large, it innovates in spots noone thought to do so and yet it barely manages to hit any of its lofty goals. I love this game mainly for its combat, movement and moral choices. Web of Shadows actually gives you the option to be a real piece of work, the true Villain of the story while looking so damm cool. There is a real thick layer of dust on the graphics and Voice acting, but I have grown so fond of them, in a really autistic way.
As a sucker for all things Spider-Man I decided to boot up my old Wii and revisit this era of his games. Sucks that so many of them have been totally forgotten about, no port no nothing.
Fair amount of bizarre voice acting aside, this is a blast and a real relic from the pre-MCU Marvel days, with excellent combat and really creative use of the Symbiote. Moon Knight is so fucking funny.

5.5/10
The gameplay is the best and pretty much the only good thing about this game. The voice acting, story, characters were all pretty bad or poorly developed, the city feels empty, side activities are very repetitive, swinging is fun although the camera sometimes got in the way. People talk so much good stuff about this game so I was expecting a bit more... It is fun for a while, then it becomes tedious.

This game would have been better if the symbiote suit had "I'm sorry women" splattered all over it.
Anyway, this game story is horrible yet entertaining; the voice acting is abysmal, and the open world is empty, yet I had fun with this game because the combat and web swinging are so good, especially the combat, easily one of the best in the series, is so dynamic and looks cool.
Even with the good combat and swinging the game overstay, it's welcome by the end because the mission gets very repetitive and drawn out.
Overall, an OK game, but very janky in many areas. Oh well, at least Moon Knight is there, and the intro is hilarious.

Probably one of the most unpolished games I have ever played. Story is uninteresting and cliche, voice acting is usually bad, overall presentation is very lame an mediocre. Swinging is OK but nowhere near as fun as good SM games. Combat is the only saving grace as it is very varied and fun. There are lots of combat moves and the variety is good. Classic suit and Symbiote suit has different combat styles and adds a lot to the game. It is a fun game that can be frustrating at times.
