Spider-Man, web of shadows released today and the above is the trailer for the release. Now, if you didn’t know already, I AM SPIDER-MAN. Well I’m a huge geeked out fan. That being said, I’m really tired of the crap that Marvel keeps producing.
Don’t get me wrong, Marvel has put out some good titles. The “Alliance” genre of games are pretty cool and original for their kind if you like that sort of game play…not to mention that Ultimate Alliance had some of the best CGI animation I’ve seen, on par with Blizzard.
It makes me wonder why Marvel doesn’t invest in a real quality game with one of high profit heros. (I’m coing that term too, High Profit Heros). I’ve bought and played every Spider-Man game released since I was a kid. Since the invention of the PS2, and the Spider-Man movies, they have all been the same thing….you swing around the city, do random missions, and eventually follow the story plot. They are all done by AcTivision and have the same “Super Hero Game” feel. In fact, the Ultimate Spider-Man game for the PS2 was a direct copy (almost) of the Spider-Man movie games. I think they just made it cell shaded.
Anyway, so I will not buy this game. If someone picks it up and its mind blowingly original, let me know. I doubt it though, with Wolverine becoming a symbiote and you riding the Rhino around like a horse, I’m pretty sure this game is out of my league. Good luck kids.
