    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.

    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
