...although,to be honest,i've yet to see him drink the fluids of one of his victims he wraps in webbing...just sayin'.
i'm gonna start by sayin i have an issue w/the other reviews of this game. plz don't hate me for sayin this,but have u guys realy PLAYD this game? let me xplain myself.
1 of the reviewers said it was "the best/most realistic spidey game yet",others said it was "great" and "good because it wasn't based off of a movie".now i will review this game and tell u the pros and cons so u may fully undrstand this game.
PROS:
1.decent graphics.i'd like to see better,but i wont complain too much.
2. concept.they had a GREAT idea,letting u switch between black and red suit at will. also,the "choice" system is realy cool. it changes up the story giving the game decent replayability.
3.combat.this is where the game shines.there is a realy cool new combat system that allows u to dispense badies pretty much any way u want to.sure,it is BASICALLY button mashing,but if u want to make it look stylish,memerizing different chain attacks isnt that hard.
4.wall climbing. it takes a while to get used to,but the new style works, and it works well.
5.allies.u will meet different characters throughout the game,good and bad,who after u meet,u can call on to aid you in combat.
CONS:
1.DETAIL!this game is good,but it isn't as good as spiderman 3. it isn't FAR worse,but detail makes a difference.in spiderman 3,u can shoot webs from whichever hand u want with the triggers,allowing u to swing perfectly.the new 1 buton system ruins this.also,in SM3,u saw EXACTLY where ur webs stuck to for u to swing from. now,the mysterious air hanging webs are BACK!u cant control the hight of ur jump anymore,its the same hight no mater how long u press A,and u can only jog and run,no walking.
2.GLITCHES!during side missions(which r 90% of the game,btw)u use spidey sense to lock on to foes, to bad some of the foes glitch into the buildings.
ths game is a 7,good.not VRY good or prfct.

Web-Slinging

The storyline is a bit weak and the dialog and character actors could definitely use an upgrade, but if you've ever wanted to BE Spiderman, this game is really, really fun. Web-slinging has finally been properly achieved in this title. You can soar to astonishing heights and swan dive into a death-defying sweep through the city streets below with more control than any Spidey game before it. My girlfriend and I spent hours shooting through the air at the area on the map with the highest skyscrapers. It was incredible. It was also fun trying to unlock all of the fighting combos and moves. Again though, not the best game ever over-all, but a lot of fun to play.

ive read alot of reviews for this game. some good some bad but to me it was a really good game now granted ive never played any of the previous spiderman games so i have nothing to compare it to, everyone talks about how it doesnt messure up to spiderman 2. well i cant comment on that. the game does have a few flaws based soly on gameplay such as sometimes when your web sliging around town it starts to wanna freeze on you and he goes slow lol and twice in the game when he landed from a web sling he landed on his head and floated around the screen for a bit like that wich was wierd lol but if little things like that dont bother you like for me they dont since it was a small part of the game that was a affected and didnt last long its a great game solid story line not based off the movies good fighting and you gotta love web slinging and pulling combos from that and the suit changing is awesome and you can make cool combos switching back and forth from red to black suit mid combo so thats awesome plenty of other heros come into the game it was just good fun if your a fan of spiderman or comics i cant wait for shattered demensions now lol now would i buy it maybe not but only because im one of thouse people who once i beat a game i may not play it again for a long while but if you like to replay games alot then yes id buy it but definetly rent it if your a fan of these types of games and of spiderman
