    Web of Shadows takes Spider-Man into new territory with an enjoyable action adventure romp that's over too soon.

    It’s polished and fun for the four or five hours it lasts. Hopefully Griptonite takes this solid foundation and really expands on it in a future Spider-Man title.

    Web of Shadows is a passable, but sincere, form of flattery to the king of the genre.

    If you're looking for a quick and fun Spider-Man adventure, Web of Shadows will entertain you. If you want something a little deeper with more bang for its buck, however, you might want to seek out something else.

    Maybe this is the best Spider-Man game available for DS, much better than the PS2 and PSP version, that's for sure, please give it a try.    … Full Review »
