Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.
I've been playing this game for PC (as I don't own X360 or PS3, and I don't want my Wii to try and render Manhattan) and what can I say?
Well, you gotta like Spider-Man games. I loved Spider-Man 2 on PS2 because of the web-swinging mechanic, and this game has some cool web-swinging. If you've grown up wanting to be Spider-Man like I have, you should probably try either, just for the joy of zipping between buildings, bouncing off huge building walls, and all that fun stuff.
This particular Spider-man game is centered around Symbiotes (you know the stuff responsible for Venom, black suit Spider-Man, Carnage...etc), and it also deals with alignment (which path will you choose). I hadn't realized that it made a difference at first, but apparently the characters you interact with (whether it's fighting, or allying yourself with them) differ based on your alignment.
The city starts crawling with symbiote, and normal every day citizens get "infected" and become these venom-like creatures, with a few cool twists.
For example, Vulture, who appears in the game, has goons who fly with him. These get infected and become flying Venom-like creatures.
The game is kind of sandbox-y, as in you get to explore the city as you want, take on side-missions, or just web-swing everywhere (which is what I did all the time). A few cool bosses are the symbiote versions of yours allies. I got to take on a Symbiote Wolverine, and a Symbiote Black Cat (not as hot as regular black cat).
The combat is pretty cool. You get XP which allows you to add moves to your combos. You can be regular Spidey or Black suit spidey, and black suit spidey fights a lot better, but doesn't get Mary-Jane approval.
Well, I could go on a lot, but suffice to say if you like spider-man games, you should like this one. And with all the side missions you can clock in quite a few hours, if you don't mind quite a bit of repetition.
