Spider Man Web of Shadows PC Game 2008 review:
This is a 2.5D side-scrolling beat ’em up. All three versions have several common elements, such as moral choices that alter the narrative, the ability to summon allies during fights, and a similar plot.
Spider-Man Web of Shadows is a third-person action-adventure video game set in an open-world Manhattan. The gameplay is very similar to that of previous Spider-Man titles (mainly Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man), as it revolves around combat and exploration. Players control Spider-Man and can web swing, web zip, crawl walls, and use the ‘spider-sense’ to identify and lock onto enemies. The combat has been significantly improved compared to previous games, with players now able to fight enemies not only on the ground, but also on walls and in the air. The game introduces a “web strike” mechanic, which allows Spider-Man to attach a web line to the nearest enemy and pull himself towards them to deal damage.
Pros of Spider Man Web of Shadows:
- While free roaming, players may stumble upon various random events, such as gang fights, injured civilians that need to be taken to the hospital, and, in the later stages of the game, symbiote nests that must be destroyed.
- While entirely optional and not required for completing the game, these events reward the player with XP, which can be used to unlock new fighting moves/combos for Spider-Man.
- Players can also earn XP from simply playing through the main story, completing challenges (such as defeating a given number of enemies), and finding collectibles hidden around the map.
- Collectibles also increase Spider-Man’s health bar and web swinging speed.
