I just bought Spider Man: Web of Shadows (Wii) the title feels solid.

Strong Points:

1. Cut Scene Music is amazing and the cut scene choreography is perfect.

1. The last Spider Man I played was two I’m not sure if anything came out since then, this game is a major shift from two while carrying the general concept of the wall crawler. They evolved the combat on walls by a great deal to the point where you can almost forget your on the side of a building, the aerial combat is amazing considering I’ve only just started the game, using the webs and mounting enemies is the way you’d imagine Spider Man would apply his talents in air to air combat.

1. Spider Man under Symbioses is definitely Spider Man with more power and an intent to hurt, which really wraps up the point of control, you go from the acrobatic non-linear and just plain unbalanced fighting style of Spider Man to the in your face and if I’ll get in your face control of Black Suit Spidey.

1. Controls, near perfect even the waggle is used well, and web swing (kick) is actually useable now!  The detail in the animation and the webbing is cool also.

Weak Points:

1. Web Swing is mapped with web zip left/right waggle and swing to up/down some, the Wiimote may recognize the zip instead of a swing and in this case the web zip will turn into a kick in the air. (This web zip is made for air combat and is used not like normal web zip but instead to tether on enemies.)

2. Voice Acting, I’m only heard Parker and MJ so far and a few others but Parkers voice actor sucks bad... my opinion though… his voice just isn’t Parker or Spidey.

All in all I was skeptical of this game, but aside from the monotony of some of the missions, (Beat up 150 thugs) I don’t have any issues with the purchase. ^_^

The new level up system give you a reason to web swing around New York.

Wow Op came out messed up no matter what huh.

I cleared the game now and I am impressed in a slight way. I loved the combat by end game, the entire game is so ariel now, theres little to no reason to fight people on the ground when you can go air borne where they become nearly helpless.

The game however is short and there is no end game reward, the game has no incentive to even play it one more time, it's a mixed bag really; on one hand you have a great game on the other hand you have a rental. The game has core game play that could of made it stand out from the rest but the game seems to treat itself like a "rent me".

A great buy by my estimates and a perfect rental, I'm sure that playing with your pals and hearing spidy crack a joke at a villans expense will make up for the cost of the game.

i looks great! i may try it!

Hm, so how would you rank this game compared to Spider-man 2? I was a big fan of that game, so Spider-man 3 was a huge letdown.

Most review sites don't seem to think much of this game, but I know better than to put much faith in them. I'm particularly intrigued by the good things you have to say about controls and animations.

@ringo I'd say that this game expands os 2. Read above for more detail.
