Players will get to choose between the brutal black suit and the more friendly red and blue, affecting the course of the game's branching storyline with the choices they make. Thing is, the appearance of symbiotes can provoke some less than desirable character traits in the Wall Crawler, so his black costume and all the nastiness that comes with it is out in full force.
Without a Spidey film to tie the game to in 2008, Activision is freed of the movie tradition of featuring a few boss battles with on-screen protagonists and odd appearances from villains such as The Rhino, and has opted for an epic story that adheres more closely to the Webbed Wonder's comic book exploits.Īn army of symbiote clones, spawned from the insidious Venom has taken over New York, and it's up to Spidey to sort things out. His more modern adventures kicked off with the PlayStation version of Spider-Man and Activision is continuing the tradition with Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man has become nothing if not a staple of the gaming landscape over the years.
