It stands up as another great addition to a consistant series of spider man games. However, Web of shadows is still the champion. What this game lacks is as follows, no Symbiote suit! We have a fantastic 4 costume with a bag on his head and an attire that consists of a mask and boxer shorts but no black suit with a white spider? Easily the 2nd most iconic suit Parker has ever worn.
2ndly the Trickmaster challenges irritate. This is where you notice simple errors such as a decent roll or dodge ability, they seem lacking given we're talking spider man speed on the floor just isn't sharp enough. A bomb can be 10 foot away and it seems you roll is just pathetic seemingly moving you 3 ft when it should be 7ft min.
3rdly the attempt to revamp the costume with a white spider emblem is dyer. How the produced it and thought yes this is it is beyond me.
That said the story is good and fun as always but platinuming this may cost you controllers, however it is at least realistic if you are prepared to try and try again, but then platinums shouldn't be too easy.
Easy 8/10 from me.
