Good spider food which it is lacking in the long term to change.

For connoisseurs of the other Spider Games offers "Web of Shadows" basically known fare. In the role of the facade Krabblers their swings freely through the digitized Manhattan, met for and with other superheroes orders and defeated randomly emerging crimes such as beatings or robberies.

Unlike the previous "Spider-Man 3" is spinning the whole game to a great story and does not include a number of small storylines: Aliens symbiote land on Earth and take over the course of time more and more control over the city and the people living there , As Spider-Man, it is true, of course, to prevent that. Unfortunately, the developers give away here quite a lot of potential - so the story remains indeed nice and motivated to continue playing, but had significantly more spectacular and more exciting can fail with little effort.

Other changes relate to the predecessor the combat system. So Spider-Man's moves can be improved over time, which you do not have to learn many different keyboard shortcuts by heart, but merely understand the principle of the relevant moves and thus can perform longer and longer attack chain. In addition, you can now easily switch between the black and the classic suit back and forth - each with its own Move palette. Even in the middle of the combo can change the suit, which you can combine the benefits of both sides. In addition, it is now possible both on walls, and in the air to fight, so that the combat system is quite varied.

In addition to the black suit you get now provided more aid to the site, of which one each one stands by in combat, once you have collected enough energy by fighting heroes. In the cutscenes one must sometimes choose a heroic or bad way, thereby changing Spider-Man's mind - ultimately the acts but only on the one side and the final sequence standing heroes of the game.

Technically, the game, at least on the Xbox 360, clean, if not outstanding. Spider-Man himself is also animated really excellent, the transitions between the movements are perfect. Here, "Web of Shadows" even highly acclaimed for the animations games like "Tomb Raider - Underworld" in their place. Towards the end of the frame rate goes now and then something in knees, really disturbing is not.

On a phonetic side Spidey's latest appearance presents also very neat. The whole thing is completely set to music and I like German better than English-speaking counterpart in this version.

Ultimately, it only remains to say that "Web of Shadows" can be controlled well, maintains for an estimated 15 hours well, in terms of variety but against the previous "Spider-Man 3" loses - there offered as bomb disposal little more variation.

Conclusion: Fans of the power oscillator get offered good, though not outstanding food action fare. All other with superhero penchant grab prefer to "Batman: Arkham Asylum" which story-wise but not necessarily, although ingenious, but can absolutely convince playful and not stingy with variety.
