The Best (and Worst) Spider-Man Game Ever Made

[@Joaquin-xq5wo]

One of my favorite things in Web of shadows is when someone pointed out something to me. In early game, Symbiote was WAY more powerful gameplay wise in ground combat but Red suit was better in aerial combat. This way, you use both suits equally like Peter is knowing how the black suit is bad for him. As the story goes on however and you upgrade both suits, the symbiote suit just gets BETTER at both styles of combat. This means that we the player are subconsciously getting attached to the symbiote suit as it just gets the job done way more effeciently and we start getting attached to it the way Peter probably did. By the time we have to get rid of the black suit (if you did), we probably feel like we lost a BIG part of our arsenal and feel underpowered the same way the characters do. I LOVE that and thought this was one of the best ways of showing story through gameplay 2023 Edit: I replayed web of shadows, and i actually do think that red has better web strike combos in the air, but I still agree that Black is just much better. ESPECIALLY, the Basic Ground combo where you have the most aoe possible with the tendrils

[@bobukcs3353]

my first playthrough of WoS had me using red often to prevent that since my friend mentioned it, but on my 2nd i got really curious and used black suit consecutively and saw the immediate difference in power, crowd control and absolute destruction like holy shit i was just surprised (on first playthrough i used black suit like a short trump card if i was struggling)

[@rainy_guy]

There're actually 4 endings to this game. The ones mentioned in this video and two more. If you choose to be good all the way through but infect Black Cat with the symbiote after you fight her, Spider-Man will leave a voicemail for MJ saying he did whatever it took to win and will swing off on his own. Conversely, if you choose to be bad all the way through and not infect Black Cat with the symbiote, the ending would show Spider-Man standing by himself on top of the Empire State Building with the symbiotes by his side. I didn't know there were two other endings to this game until years later lol.

there is even a rumor that Web of Shadows was originally supposed to be Marvel Zombies: the Video Game according to a blog post, but was changed because of story problems.

[@frenchbaguetteintelligence]

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows very obviously inspired A LOT of things in Insomniac's Spider-Man. The electro boss fight is almost identical. Chasing Electro and Shocker is identical. Fighting turf wars and eventually escalating to a crisis where citizens lose their minds and become dangerous... the militarization of the city by a high-tech military led by a woman with a foreign accent... A mission to break into a billionaire's tower where you have to disable their security system first... A mission in Ryker's prison... Becoming an outlaw halfway through the game... The city having to be evacuated... To me, Insomniac's Spider-Man wouldn't be what it is without Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows may be my second favorite video game ever. It might be my most replayed game after Skyrim.

[@Protosilver97]

[@doclouis4236]

Yeah, but the combat is not as good as Web of Shadows. Actually no, I'm sure it was the Beenox's Amazing Spider-man games and the story of the first game which is what inspired the plot of the Insomniac Spider-man game.

[@TheZkiller]

I actually love the optional dialogue you can get by talking to characters more. Hearing them talk about lore from the comics was great. I especially love the Wolverine boss fight where he would ask you marvel lore questions about Spider-Man like who’s killer he and Spider-Man were hunting once.

[@HeyMomonia]

Yeah i never understood the hate. They don't need to flesh them out either. I don't mind them just showing up and fight alongside for a while then go their own ways.

At least back then, it gave you more exposure to marvel characters, because the MCU wasn’t like it is now.

[@TheScarletWing2490]

I'm definitely expecting Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to take some inspiration from Web of Shadows. Web of Shadows handled Symbiote Spider-Man the best in terms of gameplay and overall aesthetic, and that is objective fact, so much so that Beenox did the same thing for Shattered Dimensions with Ultimate Spidey who had the Black Suit, they basically played similarly. The insta-switch between red and black suit is not something Web of Shadows came up with tho, that's actually from the PS2/PSP/Wii version of Spider-Man 3 where you could put the suit on with the flick of a button without needing to go to a menu or anything, and then to take it off you'd have a short quicktime event where you actually saw Peter struggling to peel the suit out of him (or more accurately put it back in the cage as it were). I definitely think we'll be able to insta-change in and out of the Black Suit in SM2, with the menu just serving for alternate suits for both the red suit and the black suit.

[@capitanaless1o493]

Fun fact: the more you use the black suit, the longer the Quick Time event gets

It's amazing how good the combat system in Web of Shadows is, just brilliant and puts all the other Spider-man games to shame. It might also be the last Spidey game where you actually kept momentum when entering and exiting a swing, for some reason game devs kinda forgot how physics works in that Marvel's Spider-man game where momentum is a myth. From the gameplay trailer, its sequel also has the busted momentumless swinging.

[@teenash1749]

I played the game a lot when I was young and thought it was a great game with all the action. This video perfected in how my childhood interpretation of playing this game was and love when anyone does a video on the game as not a lot of people have played this Spiderman, which is a shame as it was pretty much the Insomniac Spiderman before that game even came out. Sadly there's actually only 2 choices in the whole game that affect the endings which is the symbiote Wolverine fight and symbiote Black Cat fight which will give you 1 of the 4 endings. The other choices don't matter and finding that out through my many many playthroughs was kinda a bummer.

[@EclipseHedgehog]

replayed this on my old 360 about 2-3 years ago before it died (and it did when playing it) and you know how collecting tokens makes you swing faster? well it got to a point where i laughed how the game had to freeze in order to load everything up because spidey was swinging so fast.

I actually like that the other marvel characters are in web in shadows, the world more lived in. They also come help you whenever your fighting crime or symbioties throughout the game.

But none of them show up when Devil’s Breath is released and the Sinster Six is rampaging across town.

[@andreadkins7400]

It was mentioned that during Marvel's Spider-Man, Avengers were in the west coast And the entirety of the game happens in like 1-2 days I think Also, Strange doesn't really dwell in things like that, even if they endanger the whole city And Daredevil is I think not strong enough to be helpful with any member of the game's universe Sinister Six

I think what people miss about this game is almost entirely the combat and the huge skill trees with choices that matter for leveling them. I'm playing through spiderman remastered atm and the combat just feels way too simple in this game compared to web of shadows. Theres only like 3 or 4 new moves you can unlock by leveling up in the new one, whereas in web of shadows leveling up and unlocking abilities completely changed the combat and made you feel way more powerful as you play.

[@TheSoulGage]

I gotta ask. If no one bought Web of Shadows, why are the prices jacked up for copies?

[@t.l.7854]

Back then, the people who did buy it realized its value, probably. But, what really made it go up is the fact that all of those Spider-Man games from that time period of around 2007-2014 or so were delisted from digital storefronts for licensing reasons, so this and many games from this era shot up in value.

No lmfao. The 2018 game doesn't doesn't have wall combat, fleshed out air strikes or various options in air combat and WoS is supposed to mimic "The way of the Spider" from the comics. The only thing 2018 Spider-Man does better at is the ground combat but asides that it's a gadgetfest which is so barebones if you don't use it Screw realism, this is a super strong character and someone who can canonically break jaws and dodge bullets, not every game needs to feek generic af And before you take this as me saying WoS is better than the 2018 game, I'm not. 2018 is miles better in terms of graphics, missions, content, acting and ground combat but Wos stomps it when it comes to air and wall moves

Despite the lack of optional free roaming missions & having a terrible voice cast for the main character, I do think Spider-Man Web of Shadows is definetly the funest Spider-Man game in the series. Not many Spider-Man games have captured the feeling of being a total badass by playing as Spider-Man & pulling off awesome combos that only Spider-Man as a character can pull off. Not to mention I liked how they actualy incorparated Spidey's move set in two different categories: Red suit - fast & agile movments which can save your life on more then one ocasion & black/symbiote suit - pure power which is very useful in close combat. Altough the morality system may not be as good as InFamous series does, it shows that the game has a pretty good replay value if you want to see the different endings the game offers. Not to mention the amazing cast of characters such as Luke Cage, Wolverine & even freaking Moon Knight making an appearance in the game. I also liked the different symbiote designs for each of the characters that got infected by The Symbiote as well, Symbiote Wolverine being my personal favourite. I feel like if the game had more time to be polished & finished, then we could have gotten one of the best Spider-Man games in 2008.

One of my favorite Spider-Man games of all time. The main thing I love about it is the general theme and setting, Spider-Man thrown into the middle of an outbreak of zombie-like symbiotes while all of New York gets quarantined. It mixes my love of Spider-Man, the symbiotes, and the general themes of the zombie genre all into one game and it's amazing. The combat is still the best in ANY Spider-Man game, even when compared to Spider-Man PS4. Spider-Man PS4's combat feels like it pulls way too much from the Arkham games with all of the gadgets and slower, timed combat moments, and the sluggishness of it isn't how Spider-Man's combat is typically ever portrayed. In this game, Spider-Man's incredibly quick and agile, and when wearing the black suit, he's still fast, but more powerful. That's another aspect of this game that makes it stand out above all the rest, being able to fluidly switch between the black suit and normal suit at any point in the game, along with being able to make good/bad choices, really makes it worth playing. It's so fun to mix and match the different styles, or lean into one side or the other over the course of the story. The game isn't perfect, it needed a few changes in the voice acting department, the story itself could've used a bit of extra work and polish, and the missions themselves are severely lacking. It really only boils down to "go here to start a story mission, or go here and defeat x number of enemies". This was in the Wii version and was lacking in other versions, but there definitely needed to be costume varieties in this game. You got to choose what suit to wear for the normal suit, and you also got to pick what symbiote suit to wear when you changed into the symbiote suit. I think there were only 6 unlockable outfits total, 3 for red/blue suit and 3 for black suit, but still, it was enough to add some motivation to collectables/missions.

I love Web Of Shadows it's my favorite Spider-Man game. I love the combat I love how both the red suit and black suit have different movesets. And I love how the black suit feels it's kind of addicting in some ways I remember using only the black suit multiple times because I feel so much stronger in it which relates to how Spider-Man's feeling. This game was my first time going into darker story. This is one of the games I replay multiple times in different ways. This game was my first time meeting Moon knight. And thanks to this game I been reading Moon knight comics since. I just owe a lot to this game this game was so fun and still fun to this day. (My second favorite games Spider-Man edge of Time). Also I remember playing Spider-Man 2 fighting rhino but the disc got scratched up so I couldn't play anymore.

Bro this was so funny. The editing caught me off guard lots of times. Keep it up!

[@Thayne1]

What I find hilarious is that most people don't know the exchange between Spider-Man and Black Cat with the really terrible and cringe "I still love you" writing was literally copy and pasted into The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with that one Black Cat mission.

7:39, in terms of story, we have no story

[@ZadeWilson]

Web of Shadows was absolutely one of my favorite games growing up, I spent hours just wandering around the city and fighting crime, the gameplay always felt so amazing

0:21 "As we all know, Spider-Man 3 is by far the best superhero movie ever created." Morbius which won 12 Morbscars and made 847 morbillion dollars on the box-office: *Wrong.*

[@elcanasgarov3187]

The fast paced narrating style mixed with Alex twisted sense of humor is what keeps me coming back too to this channel. P.S.A. You missed a great opportunity for a pun with Webb of Shadows

[@lukek.5773]

9:35 what are you talking about the myspace drop is fucking gold

[@IStandForTJandTAW]

9:35 Bad writing Please, that one line roasting kingpin “Ah, I guess he’s ordering take out then.”

[@chadster225]

One thing I feel you glossed over was the movement. You really can master it and it's not easy but when you do you feel like Spidey. You can jump on walls to redirect, dodge/evade to roll into a leaping jump, hold LB to free-run over cars/obstacles, swing on street lights. Wall run whilst swinging. Slingshot yourself into a slide up or down walls on your knees and bounce off at any time. If you're wall running and reach the top, you can vault over the building. You can double jump + dodge + attack using black suit mid-air for very precise landings. Honestly no other Spidey game comes close in the movement category.

Ah man I love being a teacher and setting my class rules Rule 1: know everything Rule 2: since you follow rule 2 no doubts shall be asked (I graduated from taco bell's bathroom)

[@KingOfTheMonsters07]

I'm surprised this game was seen as bad by critics.

[@DatPRGuy2017]

Most critics actually loved the combat and innovations it brought but what they were very harsh on was the story and bugs I haven't experienced any major bugs so I can't speak for everyone

[@TheReZisTLust]

Did you see the amount of water in the game???

[@harryjd0_0]

@@DatPRGuy2017 the issue for me is that most of the time webs stick to uncle ben rather than buildings which is kinda sad.

[@Sandlund93]

The Tinkerer was included in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, as a teenage girl from Harlem. The way her arc went it´s kinda doubtful she will make an appearance in Spider-Man 2.

[@charizardfan1017]

2:34 wouldn't it be "We make money"?

[@genesismultiverse4896]

You know I need to ask HOW THE FUNKIN WAGON CAN SPIDEY TEAR WOLVERINE IN TWO HE HAS VIBRENIUM FOR A SKELETON STUFF THAT *THOR* HAS HARD TIKE BENDING

[@PLUTOXGOAT]

13:15 has to one of the worst takes ive ever heard, im tired of relationship nonsense, the way they kept this game simple was perfect. Mj gets so much screen time despite being such an uninteresting character

[@krejn]

agreed

[@randomnerd5913]

Fun fact: Web of Shadows has four endings. Good boy run, bad boy run, good boy (with black cat), and bad boy (with mj). I think the game also has a new game plus if you beat it, and then reopen your save and watch the credits again. That could be a playground lie though, I never personally tested it.

[@kame2735]

13:10 its happening because its new york

[@kevinthecheung]

The clip of James saying he’s leaving cowchop 😭. Truly a cultured man who knows real depression.

[@Batofgotham1902]

I freaking loved this video!! I wonder how much efforts and editing and time has put into to create such an amazingly fantastic video… You’re a genius Alex!!

[@BonzerMrT]

My favorite thing is the movement and the things like being able to perch on a wall, or the sides of flag poles and especially the wall combat

[@highoctanesynx7950]

4:25 that's clearly purple

[@ovs4744]

Crazy how too many villains was a bad thing back in the day 🤣🤣

[@Geobot3000]

I always like to replay this game every couple of months cuz it's literally the best game of all time to me.

[@tomassadil324]

Tbh, I loved the randomness and goofiness of the OG spiderman's story games. I mean they are games about superheros and villains, not everything has to be deep and have actual storyline where hero gets to deal with everyday life. It was amazing that back when I was a kid, games were basically way of perfect escapism. Playing this game in 2009 when I was 13 was W. Throw in some goofy jokes, some dumb randomness, give us great combat mechanics, great ways of traversing, interactive world and that's all I ask. Even OG Spiderman for PS1 were great because of that.
