Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is an upcoming video game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS and Wii. It features the popular Marvel superhero Spider-Man.

Story

Strange events begin to occur in New York City and Spider-Man is the first to notice. What was thought to be an infection turned out to be an invasion.

Spider-Man's greatest foe, Venom has learned that he can clone himself using the very symbiote suit he wears. These clones form hives or pods in many parts of the city. From these hives, they launch an invasion against the citizens of the city. Soon everyone succumbs to the symbiotes and they become symbiote zombies. S.H.I.E.L.D. intervenes and quarantines Manhattan, sealing it off to keep the invasion from spreading.

Before long, Spidey becomes infected himself and regains his old symbiotic costume. He teams up with the city's greatest heroes and villains who are fighting the invasion themselves. Spider-Man must stop Venom before he himself falls under the control of the symbiote suit that possessed him before.

Features

Like Treyarch's previous Spider-Man games, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man, the game will allow free-roaming action, and players will be able to customize and choose Spider-Man's aerial and ground combat. For the first time in a Spider-Man game the player will be able to choose the game's outcome and Spider-Man's path, similarly to games like Mass Effect . There are multiple endings depending on how the game is played out.

In addition, the player will decide which villain to fight against. The player will be able to switch between the original red and blue suit, and the Symbiote suit at any time during gameplay, although the games Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3 (for the PS2, PSP and Wii) had similar features.[1] It has also been confirmed that Spider-Man will be able to swim in the water instead of dying automatically (in certain games, Spider-Man simply climbs back out of the water). Chris Scholz from Shaba Games also commented that they worked on really separating the black and red suit to give the player a different feel. Such as Red suited Spidey will be fast and agile, while Black suited Spider-Man will be stronger and more destructive (Such as pick up and throw cars, or destroy building fronts). The mini map on the screen will also change. The traditional 2-D eagle eye will be removed, replaced by a new 3D map with an "X", "Y" and "Z" axis which shows your current location. The game as shown on a video on IGN.com may feature cineractives like Spider-Man 3. [citation needed]. It has also been confirmed that the players actions have a direct consequence on the ending and outcome of Spider-Man's fate depending on which suit you use and whatever actions you take will cause either Spider-Man's greatest enemies or allies to side with him
