Play Spider-man - Web Of Shadows Online

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows came out for the Nintendo DS in 2008, developed by Shaba Games and published by Activision. It was part of that wave of superhero games on the handheld, where you could take a character like Spider-Man on the go. The DS was perfect for this, with its two screens offering a new way to handle the action and menus.

You control Spider-Man through a sidescrolling New York City, swinging and web-zipping between buildings. Your main goal is to stop a symbiote invasion that is turning citizens and heroes into monsters. The combat is a mix of quick web attacks and physical strikes, and you can switch between the classic red suit and the more aggressive black symbiote suit on the fly; each suit changes your abilities and how you approach fights. You explore the city screen by screen, often backtracking to previously locked areas once you gain new powers. The game moves at a fast pace, and some of the later enemy swarms can get pretty tough. It feels fluid and responsive when you get into a rhythm of swinging and fighting.
