Spider Man Web of Shadows

Prepare for a swinging good time in the newest installment in the Spider Man series. Web of Shadows is probably the best Spider Man game I have ever played. The game takes place in New York City .The story is awesome, pretty much what happens is Venom spreads his symbiote around which turns the citizens of New York into mini venom’s. Don’t want to give away too much. As you probably can tell this is an original story so it has nothing to do with any of the movies. A cool feature added to this game is the ability to switch from the red suit and black suit. This ability is quite easy with just the push of a button. So there’s no more battling to get the black suit off like in Spider Man 3. Another cool feature that goes with the suits is the upgrade system. It is very easy to use, you get points for defeating enemies and completing missions. Another cool feature is the choice system. At key points in the game you will be given a decision to follow the red path, which is good, and the black path, which is bad. Depending on which decisions you make depends on the ending you’ll get. Yes that’s right, multiple endings which means you’ll definitely want to replay this game over. Throughout the game you will meet several heroes and villain’s. Such as Black Cat, Wolverine, Venom, Vulture, Electro and Cage. Don’t worry there are several others that I didn’t name. You can also summon heroes and villains who you’ve aligned with during combat. The combat system has definitely been improved since the previous Spider Man games. Another cool thing about the combat is the combos, if you can keep it up you can stay mid-air for awhile. For instance the two battles against Vulture, you have to keep the combo up and keep webbing enemies because those battles are entirely in the air. The enemies you face are The Kingpins henchmen, gang members, symbiotes and boss’s. The missions are pretty simple and not super difficult. Web of Shadows is definitely the best Spider Man game to date and I definitely recommend it.
