Spider Heroes Shadows Fighting

Spider Heroes Shadows Fighting has faced off against many a foe in his long and storied career, but none quite as sinister as the last two video games based on his adventures.

Web of Shadows Edition does borrow the plot from the console version,

however, and it also includes the ability to make some choices along the way.

Whether you chose to stick around and answer his question or blow him off, your day quickly turns sour when Venom shows up.

A fight erupts and Spidey wins but suddenly the alien symbiote explodes and our hero wakes up with a headache and wearing the Black Suit once again.

But Spidey had the balance just right. Always ready with cheeky one-liners, enough cool powers to make you want to be him, yet still very much a mortal who was susceptible to pain and simple human error.

This is no generic action character with a blue and red skin laid over him. This Spidey is a bespoke blur of speed and agility, capable of jumping twenty feet with the press of a button and seamlessly moving from web slinging to wall-walking without such annoyances as a power bar or a complicated control scheme.

You can swing around the environment and you can always crawl up walls and ceilings as well.

Spiders also makes use of his acrobatic skills and incredible strength as well for when you need to carry a civilian or two out of harms way.

There is also the option to change from the Red Suit or the Black Suit via the Select button.

He even has his Spider Senses but in this game it is uses to locate people in need of your help or to seek out hidden threats.

This is helpful seeing as there is a lot of ground to cover even if this is a side-scrolling action game.

Along the way you will encounter civilians in need of your help.

A dialogue box opens up when you encounter a civilian and there are basically two options you can make in the game.

You can take the good path by accept to offer aid whether it’s rescuing a cat stuck on the roof of a building or carrying a whining socialite out of harms way.

But minor annoyances, although numerous enough to hold us back from unabashed praise, are all Spider Web of Shadows Fighting has to worry about. Fundamentally it is a slick, confident and expertly action-adventure title. It's also probably the best interpretation of the much loved marvel character yet.
