Comparing Every Version of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

In this video, we're comparing every version of Spider-Man Web of Shadows released for Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, PSP and Nintendo DS

[@rhodiumveil7072]

Small addition for the flagship; the Wii release doesn’t have an ally system like the X-Box/Playstation release, but it does have alternate costumes.

[@CFLaughs]

Yeah I remember the alternate costumes on the Wii version! That was also my introduction to Spiderman 2099 I believe.

[@ryuk65]

Ok that makes sense. I had the one for the Wii and when he mentioned the ally system, i thought "man, i just really never used that, hm?"

[@chetankalyanreddyarabandi2818]

Wii version also had a qte in symbiote Wolverine boss fight where Spiderman breaks Logan back even if you are in red And also you can use the symbiote tendrils to grab and throw objects in the environment I don't know why this feature wasn't in Xbox,ps3,pc version

[@playerback7722]

Also barely has any people

[@anthonysalinas-candelero9978]

Wait really...the wii version has alternate suits?!?!? What are the suits??​@@CFLaughs

[@NewSuperAvenger]

Fun fact: Daredevil was meant to be included in the game in very early stages before being replaced with Wolverine. Also, test levels can be played on the debug version of Spider-Man 3.

[@inshal6420]

Iron Man was suppose to be here too

[@PrincevonTwix]

Glad to see more people cover the gem that is the DS version!

[@nigelsummers7949]

I'd say that the DS version was the best out of all the releases

[@causticcoconut715]

The music for the ds game brings back so many memories

[@akmaldanial67]

Shattered Dimensions for DS is just as good. It feels like a spiritual sequel.

[@user-ek2xg3ps5s]

8:58 J J casually asserting dominance in that vat

[@LIONREV7]

The wii version deserved a mention ,it was distinctive enough

[@yaboijuanito1460]

Right I remember unlocking the Spider Carnage symbiote on the wii when I was a kid.

[@cluckendip]

It was basically a downgraded port of the main version of the game with some pre-rendered cutscenes and unlockable costumes. Still a solid way to play the game though.

[@ryuk65]

This is probably my favorite Spider-Man game if not for the swinging alone. The momentum you can build up is crazy. Its also nice if when you are away from a place to swing from and try, he does the animation of trying to attach to something but cant. And also if you're swing fast enough and collide face first into a building, you'll just go splat on it and then peel off. It's so amazing.

[@bucktoothwonder7037]

The ds version actually isnt too bad. Spider-Man controls so good

[@jlev1028]

The level design's a pain in the ass, though.

[@playerback7722]

Dang

[@MadDragonify]

The DS game is practically a 2D Devil May Cry The combos man, the combos

[@ricardonb6375]

9:44 I think that's either Jackal or his clone Carrion.

[@Dreadjaws]

That is indeed the Jackal.

[@TheJewBagel]

The first time I ever heard of Web of Shadows was an ad that showed I think the statue of liberty being covered by a symbiote. I've only found it once on KZbin since then but I can't find it now unfortunately. I finally did get to play the game in 2010 but it was the PS2 version. I just remember being so disappointed then finding out the other versions were completely different games

[@ZeusTheIrritable]

"Grew up With" - "Was already 25", same thing.

[@chris_player2995]

I bought the ps2 version back in the day thinking it would look like the Wii version...it did not later in 2011 i got my 360 and alongside gta 4 this is the second game I bought and loved it ever since

[@WatanukiProductions]

Wakeboarding Unleashed is legit an underrated gem that should come up in conversations about great co-op games more often.

[@prettymidgamer]

Babe wake up, new Flandrew video just dropped

[@KeywordSoup]

I literally forgot Spider-man: Edge of Time even existed until now! You’ve got to play these

[@erickrafaelfloreslara8501]

The DS version is massively underrated, its probably the best hand held spiderman game ever. It has a more indepth combo system than even the flagship version and its endlessly replayable cause your level can carry over through each run.

[@adamspeiser6449]

Liked it more than the other options with the only competition for me being Spider-Man 3 on the DS, though this one was still better. I liked gameplay better than story as a kid though, so I am a little biased, but I'd say the gameplay today still is not bad as far as those kinds of games are concerned

[@Jansenbaker]

Yes please cover the Beenox games.

[@chrisbecerra195]

I just found this game behind my closet 3 months ago for the ps3 , definitely keeping it

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

It's funny how much this has in common with Insomniac's Spider-man 2.

[@rxndxsdonuts420]

I think SM 2 is based of web of shadows

[@CFLaughs]

There was definitely inspiration from this game for sure and it's easy to see that! With the way how the symbiote takes over the city and with the different combat moves with the black suit. I will say that Spiderman 2 is a more polished version of web of shadows although I have noticed some features were missing at launch.

[@rxndxsdonuts420]

@@CFLaughs there is also an Easter egg in Chameleon Apartment, you could play the theme of web of shadows on a piano.

[@dudewithachannel1163]

9:01 funnily enough, not the only time Hypno Hustler was mentioned in the presense of Rhino in a Spider-Man game. He also had a mention in Friend or Foe during Rhinos boss fight

[@giftheck]

The PSP/PS2 version of the game having Raimi-like Spider-Man actually makes a bit of sense if you look into the development. A while ago, an XBox360 developer build of Spider-Man 3 leaked out and it actually contains the early idea prototype for Web of Shadows. Rather than simply using the Spider-Man 3 character models for the red and black suits, they had different models which were HD versions of the suits that made it into the PSP/PS2 game, while the other versions wound up having the more comic-accurate suits.

Thank you, I’m a big fan of your work

[@LDragon2000]

Man you weren’t kidding when you said the PSP version was a fever dream. I didn’t see ANY of that coming.

[@alecrocksablegaming]

I remember playing the DS version and I still got it and I remember that I beat the game after four long years of having it

[@extrasalt9053]

I can't believe how fast Flandrew gets videos out.

[@SpiderPotterFan]

The PS2 version is my most hated game of all time. When the game came out, my dad went out of his way to gift it to me for Christmas because I was hyped for Web of Shadows. They NEVER said that the PS2 version was going to be the same as the mobile one. I expected a downgrade like SM3, not a downright port of the PSP game. Worst Christmas ever

[@Spacething7474]

sm3 was the same as the psp version though, so this is a little funny

[@Invidente7]

It looks terrible even for being based on a Mobile game.

[@giftheck]

Yeah, that was exactly my reason for finally abandoning my PS2 and getting an XBox360. Nowhere was it ever advertised that we'd be getting an entirely different game. THe sad thing is that Spider-Man 3 was the same game across PSP, PS2 and Wii. Wii got a downscaled port of the PS3/Xbox360/PC version. Why could they not bring THAT one over to PS2?

[@Spacething7474]

@@giftheck i mean, they did at least title the ps2 version "amazing allies edition", so they at least tried to differentiate it from the main game

[@Simbabweman]

I was desperate for it on PS2 back in the day but learned from the internet to avoid it. Didn't have a ps3. The PS2 box made me think it had extra bits of game with the subheading but I must've been a smart kid and looked everything up about it. Ended up getting the Wii version and was not disappointed.

[@jedigamer9935]

Great video! Love this! 💙

[@TheBormotunchik]

Loved Web of Shadows, played it dozens of times. It was Infamous before Infamous came out. Really liked that you have opportunity to make some choices. The game was buggy of course, at least the PC version was. Replayed it on Xbox 360 some time ago and it was much better there. Was really sad to find out that PS3 doesnt have trophies, would go for platinum in this one.

[@matthewwalter3257]

The shadows are just Pooh stains from the many accidents I had

[@felman87]

Congrats on the 100k!

[@Flandrew]

Thank you!!

[@TheYodelingViking]

Think you could do Shattered Dimensions next. The flagship version of that game (PC, PS3, 360 and Wii) remains one of my favorite games of all time and favorite non open world Spiderman game. There is also a DS port which I haven't checked out, but would be happy to find out how it is through your video on it.

[@Taktich]

Early congrats on 100k subs! Well deserved!

[@RyanHaney55]

I always like it when costume changes actually have an effect on game play or how the character survives the environment. 3:17 I must commend the designer who made Black Cat's booty actually look like an athletic build that a super agile super human would have. Watch the Olympic Pole Vault, if you're wondering.

[@cluckendip]

The DS version is unironically one of the best handheld games I've ever played. I wish it existed outside of that platform so more people can experience it.

[@clinto32]

Loved the 5 gum bit 😭😭

[@eternalsummer8409]

A lot of story elements in this game feature in the newer spiderman games too, venom taking over the city/black cat relationship in the new game for example

[@Egurius3]

I would totally like to see you cover the Beenox Spidey games 👍

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

[@Pengoon]

Do you know Joe cartoons? Your avatar gives me those vibes BADLY and it’s exactly what drew me to your channel!

[@keijijohnson9754]

While i haven't been able to beat the game myself, I sure as heck remember having quite a fun time playing this on my 360 back in my Middle School days. The combat has always been the one thing i remember the most about that game and its kinda a shame that it never got replicated since. Although the camera's never been an issue for me back in the day (i can't speak for it now since it's been a long LONG time since i played that and Friend Or Foe, which i Also own still) the Wolverine boss fight is something I COMPLETELY forgot with how sudden he just stops the fight to ask some trivia questions. 😅 The PSP one I remember a bit less than the 360 version but I still remember enjoying a bit too. I think I remember trading that in because i realized hiw it wasn't like the console versions. Guess that's just how new i was to something like the PSP back in the day and just how different it was from the GBA prior. Thankfully it isn't difficult to play that again due to emulation and whatnot but it sure will be quite something now that I'm more aware of what occurs in that version.

[@masterkratos0929]

I remember getting the PS2 version from former rental company Blockbuster 2 years after the game was released when I was young. When I got the 360 version, I was very surprised to see the difference between the two. I feel that with the scale of Spider-Man 2 and 3, they could've done a port just like the Wii version. Ultimately, for the PSP version, it would've needed to be the Amazing Allies Edition in my opinion.

[@CFLaughs]

You covered pretty much every Treyarch game but I am also requesting you cover enter electro since you did the original ps1 game 🙂

[@cesargodina1347]

I grow up with all Three. I love them all the ps2 versions I played on my psp. Ds is fun to play and the HD (Xbox/Ps3) version is the one I spent the most played with four ending. All achievements on my 360. The Good Days.

[@IzzySarru]

Okay, but why is Spider-Man's head so tiny compared to MJ and Felicia?

[@jlev1028]

Ah, I remember this game. I experienced the DS version first, and I felt frustration from constantly dying and playing tedious minigames to revive myself. I eventually stopped playing after finding no solution to swinging out of an area.

[@Lumia1175]

I'd love to see you cover the Beenox games too.

[@HootingLance]

I loved the ps2 version of this game as a kid. Played it so many times.

[@cameronbaker97]

It does suck how in the console version, after beating the main story, you can't free roam anymore afterwards (especially since you could during the story).

[@nighthawk244]

I think the toy story games might be interesting to talk about

[@gnbman]

Don't forget Spider-Man: Friend or Foe! I would like to see you cover the rest.

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions has got to be one of the most underrated Spider-Man games. Absolutely do a review on that.

i played the one on the Wii, its pretty much the same as PSP except low graphics, but also it gave you alternate costumes, one of which is personal for me, the cosmic spidey

Why yes, I would like to see you do more Spider-Man games! Keep up the good work! Also, as much as I want to see some of the Activision-published Spider-Man games come to the PS5 as part of the PS+ Classics Catalog, I don't really see it happening now that Activision is owned by Sony's direct rival Microsoft.

[@Wol1427]

What rival? Not anymore.... At least not after this week....

[@user-ek2xg3ps5s]

Everything is changing so quickly huh

[@markula_4040]

I actually worked on this game for the Xbox 360 as a first party requirements tester. I remember late in the game it would become a slide show as the 360 couldn't handle all the crap going on when the symbiote stuff started really taking over the city and it was all armageddon.

[@demontorch]

Had the DS game as a kid, got from my grandparents as a Christmas gift

[@demontorch]

I grew up playing the amazing Spider-Man by beenox, and remember getting the second game for Christmas and being super excited, but I remeber not having as much fun with it. I played the hell out of the first game though.

I loved that game so very much on the PC!

[@felman87]

I never did get to play these games. Ultimate, Web, Friend/Foe and the like that weren't based on movies. I kind of regret not doing so. I wonder if there's any benefit to going back after playing the PS4 game.

I remember you could litterally traverse the map by spamming webstrike on the symbiotes 😂

[@YDKMFS]

What Flandrew forgot to mention, 1 singular, most, important thing about Web of Shadows for Wii, the swinging by swinging you Wii remote, was golden, make me actually feel like i was Sipder-man, if only Wii version had free roam post the endboss to freely swing around like the real flagship versions of the game

[@ThatIckyGuy]

I have it for the 360 and it was one of my favorite Spider-Man games prior to the Insomniac games coming out. I went back and replayed a bunch of Spider-Man games about a year ago and ended up having to buy a new 360 because the XBONE wouldn't run this game and my previous 360 stopped reading discs altogether. I did the math and it was cheaper to get a new 360 than it was to buy this and the other Spider-Man games I have for the 360 for the PS3 (which my PS3 still works). Just goes to show you how much Web of Shadows shot up in price.

[@TheScarletWing2490]

I love the PSP / PS2 version because of how much of a fever dream it is. It's one of my favorite Spider-Man games because of how ridiculous it is. The developers definitely had fun with this one and just threw every crazy ass idea they could come up with in it, and I friggin' love them for doing that!

[@chrisw4051]

Christ I forgot I played the DS version of this. 😂 Thanks for reminding me of it I did quite enjoy it at the time

[@sirspookybones1118]

Actually sounds like a half decent game

[@PLAYER42_ready]

A while ago I was presented with a choice, Web of Shadows or Shattered Dimensions both of which for wii, I was a kid at the time so I knew nothing about either, I chose Web of Shadows because it had wolverine on the cover, now I’m stuck on the web strike tutorial because the motion controls barely work

[@itsmohdmustafa]

Do Shattered Dimensions next please!

[@justaway4271]

11:30 guess that's where they took Knull's inspiration from lol. But seriously tho, i played the DS version and realized that the Symbiote Leader final boss is similar to Knull in some way, even his lair had stained glass with Venom's spider logo.
