    This game is nothing but a side scroller, do not get it if you are looking to experience the game that is advertised for the PS3 and Xbox360 because you may be very disapointed....I was.

    dont buy this game for ps2. its like them really old spidey games and nothing like spiderman 2 open world. the company have done no work on the ps2 ver and just wanna take ur money. although if you like old school sega genesis spidey then buy but dont expect spiderman 2 type gameplay.

    although it has a lot of heroes and villains and has a lot of action. i personaly think that they ripped us off cause its not the same as the others. the thing that dropped its rating for me was the graphics. i wanted to play the 3D version not the 2D version. 2D sucks!!!!!!!!!!

    It's not so much that it's a 2D platformer... It's the fact that the fun of web slinging is totally absent when the only direction you can go is left or right. It looks pretty good, it's fast-paced, and the story is fine, but at the end of the day, as polished as it may be, it's a side-scrolling button-masher on the PS2, which severely limits its ability to deliver what most people wouldIt's not so much that it's a 2D platformer...

    I give it a 10 for a side-scroller, minus 4 for being a side-scroller.    … Expand

    La peor mierda y estafa posible alguna vez hecha, jamás pagaron lo que debieron por haber hecho senda porquería de juego y venderlo como versión Next gen, literalmente el peor juego del personaje, una estafa total y basura de principio a fin

    Только сейчас понял, что версия этой игры на пс 2 разительно отличается от версии пс 3. На пс 2 эта игра проходной платформер, хотя в свое время меня заитересовал. Прошел два с половиной раза. Интересная игра потому что не успевает надоесть, довольно короткая игра.Только сейчас понял, что версия этой игры на пс 2 разительно отличается от версии пс 3.

    Quise rejugarlo ahora en un emulador, rotisimo. En su momento me gustó, pero es alta estafa.

    i mean it's not the same as the PS3/Xbox 360 version but it's still enjoyable, i just hate the final boss, it's way too repetitive and like an hour long.

    A welcome throwback to the Spider-Man games of old. More than a few times I found myself using the D-pad to hop around an enemy and reminiscing about playing Spider-Man on my SEGA Genesis. The action is simple, but the quirky humor, Spidey's trademark verbal jabs, and slick style make the game a lot of fun to play.

    For those in search of single-player fun, Web of Shadows is an entertaining PS2 title, while not offering a whole lot of functions. There is absolutely no two-player action or any modes other than playing through the storyline with three different skill levels.

    Web of Shadows isn't as immersive as some of the 3D Spider-Man titles, and its repetitive combat and level structure could turn off some players in the long-term. But it's a solid rental, no question, and should definitely be played by fans of the GBA version of Spider-Man 3.
