Spider-man Web Of Shadows is a great Game.(But it could be Better)

I Got the PC version of Spider-Man WOS recently. This game was developed by Shaba Games and was released in 2008.(And unfortunately it was their Last game before Activision Shut them Down)

Imo it is a much better game than Treyarch's Spiderman 2 :

WOS Has a much better combat(It also has Wall Combat and aerial Combat) , 2 costumes that Each one has it's own Strategy to use(which adds some replay Value) , Destructible Environment , Citizens that Might Get Hurt/Get Killed by Enemies and much better Bossfight Battles. (SM 2 is better at Web Swinging Mechanics but From what i heard WOS is the second best SM Game in web Swinging)

unfortunately WOS has 1 big Problem and that is This fact that It Was Rushed. WOS's Story idea was great but when you reach the final parts it feels like some parts of it were Removed . This game also lacks Polish . it has Texture bugs and Lip Syncing Issues that are annoying in cutscenes. it also has some Animation Glitches. it feels like some parts of it( Bus escort mission for example) Aren't working as the way that it was intended. WOS also Lacks some Speed Missions which I loved to have to Test my Swinging Skills.

Despite This fact WOS is also a Better game compare to Batman Arkham Knight(Which used some Ideas from WOS) and I have already played WOS 2 Times.(Each time with a Different Costume)

What are your Thoughts on This Game ?

@dexintgames: how does it hold up compare to Spiderman 2000 ?

I have played 3 or 4 Spiderman games and this was probably the best among them.

@dorog1995:

I've played pretty much every Spider Man game except for Lethal Foes and Ultimate Spider Man on ps2/Xbox/Gamecube. So I think I know what's what a bit and I personally feel that Spiderman 2 was a little better in terms of game design. Of course, Web of Shadows beats it in every OTHER way like graphics, gameplay, sound, yada, yada, yada.... BUT! If there's a few takeaways, it's Web of Shadows' lack of interior levels and mission variety. It was fun web slinging, alot better than Spiderman 2 but things got old too fast and that made it a chore to finish.

This was why I welcomed Beenox with open arms and Shattered Dimensions was indeed a breath of fresh air. Though the web slinging dialed back a bit, combat and level design greatly improved and it was mainly because Beenox treated it more like an adventure game and not an open world game. By the time Web of Shadows came, most people were already tired of open world Spidey and I kinda was too. To me, Amazing Spiderman 1 and 2 had the perfect mix of open world and linear adventure, by using the city as the hub for the levels of the game. The only problem they had was that they were too short.

@killered3: IMO The Combat in Web Of Shadows wasn't perfect.(despite being better than 2) Due to Regenerating HP when you are near death, you can just Remain in the Guard Mode until your HP Recovers Completely. I also Beated that Game without Upgrading HP Pass Level 2 and it was still Too Easy.(I still Prefer Spiderman 2000's Combat and Bossfights)

Actually WOS wasn't Open World if you Ask Me. It had a Huge City that was there To make you Feel Like Spiderman.(Web Swinging is Essential For Spiderman as whole) and They didn't even add Side missions to it like Spiderman 2.

By the Way does Shattered Dimension worth to Play ? Is it as Great as 2000 ?

@dorog1995:

Shattered Dimensions is best looked as a completely different type of Spiderman game. No free roam but the level design and combat beats the Treyarch games by a long shot. It's a great adventure game if you like adventure games.
