Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Revealed

10
Activision announced that the legendary comic hero Spider-Man is set to return in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (PC, PS2, PS3, X360, Wii, NDS, PSP), developed by Shaba Games and Treyarch.

According to IGN, Web of Shadows will see Spider-Man's return to a free-roaming, open-ended New York that combines web slinging with customizable powers, with an emphasis on vertical combat as well as traditional ground-based assaults on foes.

Moreover, publisher Activision says that the new title will allow gamers choose how they want to play—take up the mantle of the hero, complete missions and protect the innocent, or ignore them and be an anti-hero. Scores of Marvel heroes and villains will appear in the title, offering players the choice of switching sides whenever they want.

Screenshots and a teaser trailer will be available tomorrow morning.

    So you'll get to make spider-man be a bit more evil? Interesting idea. I only ever played a little of the other spider man games, none of them ever really caught me. Having Bruce Campbell as the narrator again would be cool though.

      I havent had a chance to play any of the other open ended Spiderman games, so I have hopes on this being awesome as my first time playing one.

      I did play some of the Spiderman games on Genesis, the Spiderman/Venom game Separation Anxiety was fun as a beat'em up game

        I still pull out Spiderman 2 for the PS2 just to swing around once in a while. Web slinging around town and to the top of the Empire State Building can relieve so much stress!

          Spiderman 2 was so awesome, i loved that game. Ultimate Spidey and Spidey 3 were big disappointments.
