Objective Review of Spider-Man Web of Shadows

I think this idea of ovjectivity in game reviews makes a misunderstanding of both objective and subjective statements. In this case it is regarding Spider-Man Web of Shadows

Dawgg you could literally ride villans as a skateboard

I just watched Spider-Man pick up a car with a woman in it still and proceed to kill her by throwing her car at an enemy making it blow up with her still inside. This game will always be my favorite

Web of shadows was Spider-Man on steroids

[stevenboies]

It absolutely holds up. I go back and replay it every year or two. Yeah, there's nostalgia there, but nostalgia doesn't carry me through Oblivion, another classic. "ObJeCtIvElY" it holds up 😂

Web of shadows was my first spiderman game i played it back in 2010 and i loved it, Even to this day i still enjoy it the most with isominac spiderman games in second and third place.

This game with the Wii mote was on a whole other level of immersion and fun. Some of the most satisfying web combat ever in a Spider-Man game because it really made you feel like Spider-Man slinging webs and actually fighting/swinging.

[TravisTrixta]

That game 100% holds up as far as entertainment value goes. I know because I played it again only 3 months ago.

Nahh hands down WOS had the best combat experience of all spider man

[deathscythe]

I love this game. I don’t know why people hate it when it has one of the best combat systems in a superhero game. My favorite combat systems in hero games are SM WOS, SM PS4, Batman Arkham series and Wolverine Origins.

I actually have the express honor of having never played Web of Shadows, I was 8 when it came out and didn’t have a PS3 at that age, I got mine when I was 10, but I never heard of PS3 releases because I still had a PS2, and I can confidently say, even in 2023 and recency biasing, this game is incredible, no other game has allowed you to switch between both suits, AND it changes the entire flow of your combat between both suits, although adding 2160 collectibles for the health and swing speed upgrades is fuckin ABSURD.
Edit: not saying it’s an honor that I haven’t ever played it, I’m saying that it’s an honor to experience the game for the first time after having played all of the new Spider-Man games, so I can judge it without nostalgia goggles, and it’s incredible, the web animations throw me off, but that’s the only “bad” thing about it, the animations on the body when he’s twirling around mid swing is incredible, the game holds up incredibly well for being 15 years old.

Web of shadows had the best combat hands down fighting on the side of buildings switching between costumes not to mention that cool ass web shield.

The fact that we have objective metrics for graphics according to realism, as well as a metric of speed of control and lag means there are objective metrics of quality, to say otherwise is to ignore reality. Art style, nostalgie, and personal preferences are subjective, not all things are.

[goldswaggamer]

The game may not be the best, but the combat is hilariouly fun.

[beesforbreakfast]

If you’re using “objective” and “review” in the same sentence, you shouldn’t be writing reviews

[jurianllenylsimisterramero]

The best combat, it isnt realistic but is pretty enjoyfull

[CenoriaWoah]

Love this take overall. A game’s quality can differ depending on how you feel that day, there’s no being objective with a video game.

[BACK---LSTED]

I need good gameplay to be hooked. Web of Shadows had it.

[pencilbender]

I fon _hate_ the "everything is relative" argument.

[WSLEE_JR]

Newer Spiderman game is just a Arkham style of combat as Spiderman while Web of Shadows gave you a better feel and uniqueness to what we usually get at the time in gameplay even in Spiderman games…only thing that held Web of Shadows back was the year it was made but combat alone is at the too of the list for Spiderman without a doubt

I finished PS4 Spidey + Miles Morales a few weeks ago and now replaying WOS like 6-7 hours in, taking my time, played it last time when I was a teenager. I still find WOS has a much more fun combat per se. I can just go crazy, and switch the suits whenever to make it more fun.
