( August 2019 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ).All three versions of the game follow a relatively similar plot, which sees Spider-Man teaming up with various other superheroes and villains alike to stop a symbiote invasion that has consumed Manhattan.However, the games choice system received mixed reviews; although some praised how the player is able to create a dynamic experience with their choices, others were critical of the systems limitations.In addition, reviewers criticized the storylines poor execution, bothersome camera controls, the inability to free-roam after completing the game, lip-syncing issues and the subpar graphics.
The gameplay is very similar to previous Spider-Man titles (namely Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man ), with the player taking the role of the titular hero and all his spider-like super-human abilities. The game improves on the combat system from previous games, with the player now being able to fight not only on ground, but on the walls of buildings and in the air as well. It also introduces a new gameplay mechanic called web strike, which can be used both as an attack and a means of transport; when using web strike, Spider-Man automatically attaches a web to the nearest enemy and pulls himself to them, having the option to let go before they hit them, or go through with the attack. In addition, the game features a reputation bar, which becomes red when the player chooses the Red Path in the aforementioned situations or performs heroic acts, such as saving civilains or defeating enemies without causing property damage, and turns black when the player chooses the Black Path or causes destruction across the city. As they progress through the story, the player meets characters that become allies, meaning that they can be summoned at almost any time to help the player fight enemies; if the reputation bar is red, the player can summon heroes ( Luke Cage, Moon Knight and Wolverine ), otherwise they can summon villains ( Black Cat, Vulture, Rhino and Electro ). For example, red and blue-suited Spider-Man is fast and agile, while symbiote Spider-Man is stronger and more destructive. The traditional 2-D overhead view has been removed, replaced by a new 3D map with an X, Y and Z axis which shows the players position in three-dimensional space (north and south, as well as vertical position). Also, as a Wii exclusive, there are 6 alternate costumes ( Spider-Carnage for the black suit, and Spider-Armor, Ben Reilly, Spider-Man 2099, Cosmic Spider-Man and the Iron Spider suit for the red suit). Afterwards, when they select to continue the game, the player will start a new game with all of their previous upgrades already made, essentially acting as a New Game Plus. Helicarrier, the Fisk Tower, or Central Park, although some levels are set on the streets or rooftops. Nevertheless, the player can still crawl up walls or use Spider-Mans web lines to web swing (allowing for faster travelling or not touching the ground if a specific part of a level requires it) and pull themselves to a wall. These conversations can change specific parts of the story and even the ending of the game, or give the player points for each of the two suits individually, depending on the chosen line. The game also features upgrades for each of the two suits individually, with the points necessary for the upgrades being earned from defeating enemies or conversations. The plot has also changed, featuring characters absent in the other versions such as Kraven the Hunter, Shocker, Jackal, Spencer Smythe, or A.I.M. Much like in the console games, enemies will drop XP points when defeated which can be used to purchase new moves for Spider-Man. As the players progress through the story they will also obtain upgrades that will allow them to explore more of the open world map and eventually reach the end of the game, similarly to the Castlevania and Metroid franchises. At certain points in the game, the player will need to decide which mission to undertake next; these decisions change the overall outcome of the game. This version also features the fewest allies: Black Cat, Venom, Green Goblin and Nightcrawler. The revival will be successful if Spider-Man receives enough health orbs before a time limit is reached.
