Game Vortex writes: "Welcome to New York; please watch out for hazardous symbiotic goo. These words should preface the introduction for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. In this latest installment of the Spider-Man saga, Marvel's signature webslinger explores New York City, which has been quarantined due to an outbreak caused by the spread of an infectious symbiote, battling infected citizens as well as several notable villains from the comic book series, culminating ultimately in a showdown with Venom.
The opening cutscene does a nice job of setting the stage for the game, hinting at some of the coming battles. It is well rendered, if a little over-sappy. Unfortunately, the cutscene represents the nicest eye-candy in the game. The game itself, while not unattractive, just does not live up to what my expectations of a modern game should be. New York City has been nicely drawn out, but the lack of texture depth is noticeable from early on. The characters (Spider-Man, his allies and enemies) all show fluid motion, but the lack of real detail hurts the immersion factor. The environment, while sporting some destructible elements, remains largely unaffected by your actions throughout the game."
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a hotly anticipated game, and one that I'm desperate to play, but why wait when you can play Spider-Man Web of Shadows right now?
Typical with Sony sequels. Pay it no mind - the game will release to great reviews, break records, and articles like these will prove their irrelevance once more.
just more of the same for me honestly. it doesn't even look that different than the last game or version. like they upgraded some textures etc, made some new story points and swapped out the characters, but it pretty much just feels like the same game. also - personally speaking, I'm pretty sick of Spiderman, and I definitely have superhero burnout.
thats honestly why im looking forward to starfield so much. not because its an xbox game or whatever reason the internet will tell you is the only reason, its actually because it is just something new. its not superheroes, its not marvel, its not medieval magic stuff, its just straight up space sci-fi proper RPG and that just feels so refreshing imo. There are certainly other ps5 games that I am looking forward to more than SM2. Not hating tho.
Yeah. It's because it's an Xbox game. You play this same game about other Sony games or VR. No one is fooled.
Star Field looks no different than what people are doing in No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen. Play those and you'll have basically played Star Field.
Many sequels are going to play similar to the first game. Super hero games are about being super. That's the point. To be that hero kicking some ass.
We had 2 spiderman games in like the last decade that were worth playing and you are burned out in spiderman? Wtf. Yeah what a load of bullshit.
I agree with the first part about superhero burnout as great as Spiderman looks but that is happening in and outside of gaming but how can you say you're not looking forward to Spiderman but then in the next paragraph praise Starfield when everything they've shown so far looks like yet another Bethesda 6 or 7 out of 10 game which the media will praise to high heaven, award GOTY, whilst scrutinizing other games for the same problems all Bethesda games have. Baffling
@z2g
You must hate every sequel ever made then.
Its crazy to me that this is what it has come down to, it's just shows how amazing playstation exclusives are if thats the best excuse you got.
All of the complaints I've heard from fanboys are also an issue in other games, but it's bad if Sonys games do it? Are Sonys games more special than others according to you guys?
web of shadows had more unique fun ideas for it to me. spider man 1 and 2 wiil surely be cool though
Ultimate is overall better. Web of Shadows had an interesting idea, but the mission structure in the first half made no sense.
No Man's Sky didn't have the story Starfield will. It also didn't have the combat both on the ground and in space Starfield does. I am cautiously optimistic about Starfield.
You spewing hate for a game that hasn't released yet, and is being released by one of the best gaming developers out there is funny. It has the potential to be fantastic.
Nms had a story at launch, ground combat and ship combat at launch too...
Not saying starfield is gonna be crap, cause I don't believe it will be, but its certainly not doing anything we haven't already seen in other games.
@GotGame818
"One of the best developers" funny most people used to hate them and would've made fun of you for making that comment, but suddenly many people act like that always loved them now why is that?
Is it because your favorite company buys them and all is forgiven? I'm seeing the same with Activision, I cant f**king stand fake people like this.

2600 Spider-man was the first I ever played. So many memories of that and Superman game. I didn't play another SM game until the Sega CD Spider-man vs the Kingpin
Spider-Man 2018 (Insomniac’s game) is the absolute worst…I’m kidding, I’m kidding. The absolute BEST Spider-Man games to date!
1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales “ “Insomniac”
2. Marvels Spider-Man 2018 “Insomniac”
3. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.
4 Spider-Man 2.
5 Spider-Man (I forget the name) but I played it when I was about 10 or so, back in school. I thought it was the coolest game (which was a side scroller) and believe it or not, I felt like I was playing Spider-Man lol. If only I knew what the future would hold for technology, the talent of artists in these studios in the future, my eyes and brain would melt outta my head haha.
Ultimate Spiderman is definitely #3 on my list and a gem of the PS2/XB/GC era imo.
I can see an argument to flip 1 and 2 but I think the improvements Insomniac made to Miles Morales does technically put it a step above the original. Because it was Miles it was something refreshingly different too.
Nice! I’m glad you enjoyed Ultimate Spider-Man. I forgot about that one. That was a good one!
Yeah, I can see that argument to clip 1 and 2 as well but the improvements added in Miles Morales for me definitely put it above the original, which is why I put it as my #1. I absolutely love both tho!
The first one I played was on the Game Gear called Spider-man vs the Kingpin. Definitely one of the worst Spider-Man games but I loved it as a kid. My favorite Spider-Man games include Spider-Man PS1/64, Maximum Carnage, Web Of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, ASM 1 and the two Sony recent Sony exclusive ones. Edge of Time and ASM 2 get honorable mentions because though I did enjoy them both felt like step back from the previous titles.
They absolutely nailed the physics in that game. No game has ever come close.
Spider-Man The Movie, the game will probably be my favorite SP game ever, with the nostalgia goggles on. I doubt it would hold up at all today. Shattered Dimensions was great too.

Protagonists are forced to overcome incredible obstacles in order to unravel the sinister intention of these girls. Sometimes they act alone, but in most cases, entire armies are behind them. These top five female villains in video games are proving a brute force is not always a pledge to world domination.
