The latest Spider-man game fails to do justice to an incredible cast list headed by arch-enemy Venom.
Web of Shadowsbegins with a despondent Spider-man walking across a rooftop as a battle rages around him.
The sense of liveliness in the city is at best on par with the now ancientGrand Theft Auto III.
Roam to the river and the sense of life is less believable than a comic book.
Both paths must be followed to earn all achievements.
I racked up 790 points on the first run, aligned to the red and blue suit.
Dedication may carry you through again, especially with the promise of an alternate ending.
A couple of rooftop pursuits are mildly irritating, and a brawl with Wolverine is a huge disappointment.
The biggest letdown is erratic storytelling that brings together the extended cast with nods to the extended Marvel universe.
