Spider-Man: Web of Shadows/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Despite being humongous and absolutely intimidating, {{spoiler|Venomzilla is a bit of a letdown as far as the battle itself goes. All it really comes down to is getting one of Venomzilla's heads to reach in front of the main torso while you attack once. About two or three hits defeats each head, while the most Venomzilla can do is lash out at you with tendrils and vomit up Symbiotes as backup. A bit of a let-down, especially compared to the previous battle with Symbiote Vulture.}}

* [[Awesome Bosses]]: Thanks to this game having what's considered the best combat system out of any Spider-Man game, a lot of the game's boss fights are incredibly fun. The Vulture fight deserves a mention as it's ridiculously cool to use his [[Mook|Mooks]] as stepping stones while weaving in and out of his attacks as you go after him in the New York sky. {{spoiler|Symbiote Vulture turns this [[Up to Eleven]] as the battle takes place even ''higher'' than his first battle, and you're having to deal with tons of Vultureling Symbiotes while you get to zip around S.H.I.E.L.D hovercrafts while absolutely pummeling the hell out of him.}}

The Vulture fight deserves a mention as it's ridiculously cool to use his [[Mook|Mooks]] as stepping stones while weaving in and out of his attacks as you go after him in the New York sky as you air-combo him into oblivion. {{spoiler|Symbiote Vulture turns this [[Up to Eleven]] as the battle takes place even ''higher'' than his first battle, and you're having to deal with tons of Vultureling Symbiotes while you get to zip around S.H.I.E.L.D hovercrafts in order to stay in the air while absolutely pummeling the hell out of him with all the abilities you've accumulated by this point.}}

** Electro also gets an honorable mention, as it's pretty fun to chase him all around Manhattan while beating him senseless while having to deal with TONS of lightning. It's a pretty tough battle, but it's also full of pulse-pounding action as you're dodging all the electricity he tosses your way.

** The Venom fight at the middle of the game is also quite fun, as it's nothing more complicated than a straight-up brawl with Venom that spans over most of the city. Simple, but quite fun and intense.

* [[Breather Boss]]: Most of this game's bosses aren't overly hard by any means, but Symbiote Electro is noticeably much easier than not only his non-infected counterpart, but the rest of the game's Symbiote infected bosses as well, given that he pretty much stays in one place where it's easy for you to wail on him.

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: During one of the optional conversations with Wolverine, Spider-Man will ask if Wolverine likes the Black Suit. Predictably, Wolverine hates it, and goes on to say that with it, Spider-Man looks like (Paraphrased) "One of those emo kiddies who whine on the internet about how hard their lives are while they haven't known true pain." Hearing Wolverine mock emo teens is funny enough, but it crosses into hilarious territory whenever Spider-Man asks if he has a "My-Face" page and Wolverine gets defensive about it, leading to Spider-Man mercilessly mocking him for it.

Line 12:

* [[Fan Nickname]]: {{spoiler|"Venomzilla" (the giant multi-headed form Venom possesses during the end)}}.

* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Most heavy-hitting enemies aren't really hard per-se, but can be incredibly annoying to fight as they can launch you a good distance away with their attacks while you're helpless for a few seconds. It gets incredibly annoying when you're faced with packs of them as they'll all gang up on you and bounce you around like a pinball.

* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: This game is ''very'' glitch, but fortunately, most of the glitches are harmless and can lead to some very funny events. While I'm not quite sure as to how often they happen to other players, I've had things happen to me such as having a couple of police officers gun an innocent civilian to death who doesn't try to run away, seeing the physics glitch to where Spider-Man flung a car out of orbit, to a civilian walking backwards to the point where he looks like he's ''moonwalking'' during Electro's pre boss fight cutscene.

* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: "Spider-Man, halt!" "Spider-Man! CEASE and DESIST!" The policemen's orders for you to surrender after {{spoiler|mistaking him for a murderer}} get annoying VERY fast, and will be a common occurrence since they always show up whenever random crimes are afoot.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Venom as usual due to his demonic voice and creepy obsession with Peter Parker, but the fact that he starts reproducing and ends up turning New York into an alien-infested hellhole makes it even worse.

** And then, there's his {{spoiler|final form as Venomzilla: not only is he huge, but he has multiple heads that are all filled with sharp, lovingly-rendered teeth. He's genuinely intimidating and quite the imposing villain.}}

** At one point in the game, innocent civilians get infected by the symbiote but don't turn into Venom-like forms until a bit later and instead look like normal humans but act like rabid animals. The effect is a lot creepier than it sounds, not to mention that it's really unsettling to watch normal-looking humans barrel at you on all fours in an attempt to claw you to pieces.

** {{spoiler|Oh yes, Symbiote Wolverine is ''exactly'' as terrifying as it sounds: picture Wolverine beefed up thanks to the Symbiote with all moral boundaries removed, and now not only possesses the ability to grow tons of thick bony spines as armor, but also will stop at ''nothing'' to slaughter Spider-Man. Then, there's the way Spider-Man takes care of him on the Black Suit path by ''tearing him in half.''}}

** While {{spoiler|Symbiote Vulture loses a bit of his edge thanks to the fact that he still keeps a very civil and polite manner of speaking, the way he casually strangles a S.H.I.E.L.D troop to death while the sound of him choking and desperately struggling to breathe can be heard is quite chilling. Hell, even Black Widow is noticeably uncomfortable upon hearing this, [[Mama Bear|and is understandably ready to tear him to pieces.]]}}

* [[Older Than They Think]]: The game's main gimmick is the ability to switch between the classic red costume & the symbiote at the press of a button - The same thing was done in the ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man 3]]'' tie-in game, only it was done via small quick-time events.

* [[That One Boss]]: Wolverine's fighting style isn't all that hard to deal with, but ends up being hard anyway due to the fact that at random intervals, Wolverine will pause to ask you questions related to Spider-Man trivia in an attempt to see if he's battling the true Peter Parker. The main problem is that quite a few of these questions are quite obscure and if are answered wrong, Wolverine's health fills back up a lot. You starting to see the problem now? Hilariously enough, {{spoiler|he's easier when you fight him later despite being taken over by a symbiote, which completely removes any moral inhibitions and turns him into a bloodthirsty killing machine.}}
