ADDITIONAL NOTES: Some people started saying that the PS3 version has the unlockable costumes, however, it turns out that's not true. Only the Wii version has them. The Wii version also does not have the summonable heroes (most likely a technical shortcoming). Also, Web of Shadows actually has 4 endings! I had no clue about this, as they are harder to trigger. There's  bad/good variants when you go with MJ and a bad/good variants for Black Cat. Pretty cool! Finally, there's ONE other Spider-Man game with multiple endings, the Sega CD version of Spider-Man vs Kingpin! There's a bad/good ending where MJ lives or dies. I did a drunken reaction video to this on the channel, so unsurprisingly, I forgot about it.

I unironically love this game

The story of this game is pretty messy, but damn was it fun as hell regardless. Just seeing how expansive it got with so many Marvel characters joining the battle made it feel like an unexpected event that you wouldn't even think of seeing in a lifetime.

15:25 Luke Cage just grabbing Spidey, setting him down on the ground and giving him a condescending pat on the head is pretty hilarious. Guess that's what happens if you use a near-invincible man as a training dummy hahaha

The web combat in this I remember being so fun. You're dead on about all the guest stars though, aside from Wolverine, I don't think any of them even sound great. MJ is especially off.

I actually think this game has way better combat and upgrade progression than Spider-Man PS4. Spidey just feels so powerful here. If I had to rank the Spider-Man games, this would be a close second behind Spider-Man PS4.
This game has problems, but it's great.

i disagree with a lot of points here like with the "overuse" of  marvel characters. The game starts out small with just gang fights and cage. When shit starts getting real, more and more marvel characters show up to give you the feeling of "oh shit this IS serious". I also never felt that this wasn't a spider-man game. All the villains are spider-man villains anyway.

Character action of this magnitude for a Spidey game is still unreplicated even with Insomniac's games.

The things this game gave us:
- A memeable intro (if you add Tokyo Ghoul's Unravel, peak content)
- Those QTE's, beautiful
- That webstrike
- Fighting on walls
Okay that's it... I know this game has become somewhat of a cult classic gem over the years, but even at the time of release, it did not look... That great. Like... Spider-Man's VA, Mike Vaughn, was SO miscast, especially when you have major voice actors to bounce off of (I find it funny Tricia Helfer voiced Black Cat here and Spectacular Spider-Man, and Katee Sackhoff in Edge of Time, Battlestar Galactica reunion lol)
I NEVER realized there wasn't any unlockable costumes... Wow, that completely slipped my mind!

I love this game's combat, I feel if you added wall combat to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, it would be perfect

I got the wii version and loved all the unlockable costumes. The motion controls actually weren't that bad for gameplay and swinging. Having them for QTEs was god awful though.

Seriously, I didn't mind the schlocky story. Sure, the use of the symbiote didn't make sense, but the amazing gameplay made up for it in spades.
My biggest nitpick is the fact that Moonknight and his plot felt so insanely out of place and pointless.

As a comic reader from childhood, I was so excited seeing Luke Cage and Moon Knight in the game. Admittedly, I would have preferred they were used more sparingly and not as central to the story... but the idea of some outside characters showing up for a mission or two is something I think they should revisit in future games.

Oh man nobody talks about the swinging in this one honestly think it's up there love how when you are getting into the swings you can hear peter breathing heavy as your doing the perfect run  god I wish they'd remaster it

15:30 - This actually happened in a comic.

In an alternate universe, Logan took Peter in as an apprentice, and taught him all he knew. After his training, his Spider-Sense was elevated to a greater level.

If I remember correctly, Logan proclaimed Peter as the best there is at what they do.

Good timing, I just finished this game like 10 minutes ago

I love this game. Yeah it's got some jank and cinematic direction is awful, but if they made a sequel with a better story, I would insta-buy.

I'd love to see a What Happened on Spider-Man Classic- Shaba's planned sequel to this that would've had a Spidey/Wolverine team-up. It's actually where the Mysterio design in Shattered Dimensions came from.

This game’s mid air and wall combat were so awesome. One of the few things WoS did better than Insomniac Spider-Man in my opinion. The boss fights were also badass, especially Symbiote Vulture.

I remember going to GameStop with my Dad and him buying me this game.....good times, yeah some aspects haven’t aged that well but god damn I still love the combat and the web-swinging combined with the ability to switch suits mid combat.
