Web Of Shadows has the best voice acting in the entire history of gaming, prove me wrong

One of my favorite things in Web of shadows is when someone pointed out something to me. In early game, Symbiote was WAY more powerful gameplay wise in ground combat but Red suit was better in aerial combat. This way, you use both suits equally like Peter is knowing how the black suit is bad for him. As the story goes on however and you upgrade both suits, the symbiote suit just gets BETTER at both styles of combat. This means that we the player are subconsciously getting attached to the symbiote suit as it just gets the job done way more effeciently and we start getting attached to it the way Peter probably did. By the time we have to get rid of the black suit (if you did), we probably feel like we lost a BIG part of our arsenal and feel underpowered the same way the characters do. I LOVE that and thought this was one of the best ways of showing story through gameplay
2023 Edit: I replayed web of shadows, and i actually do think that red has better web strike combos in the air, but I still agree that Black is just much better. ESPECIALLY, the Basic Ground combo where you have the most aoe possible with the tendrils
I think I know what video your talking about
@@chollachow id love to know the name of this video
That is such a cool addition, I hope the next Spider-man game does something like this if they have you use the Symbiote.
@@moonsets-on_you it was probably the review of the game by Whitelight, although it could be a different video
my first playthrough of WoS had me using red often to prevent that since my friend mentioned it, but on my 2nd i got really curious and used black suit consecutively and saw the immediate difference in power, crowd control and absolute destruction like holy shit i was just surprised (on first playthrough i used black suit like a short trump card if i was struggling)
I remember one Christmas i asked my mom for a copy of Spider man: Shattered dimensions, but she misunderstood and got me Web of shadows instead. To this day I am very grateful, as I fucking love web of shadows
I mean you were winning on both sides Bro. Shattered dimensions is a classic too.
Shattered Deminsions is A tier if not shorter than usual
That's a win win situation
We got web of shadows from the video store. We rented it I think, then we brought it back and bought it.
I remember getting the ps2 version. Not knowing that the version I saw was for the ps3. I was disappointed but I still played and loved that game… it was a 2d scroller and a venomized Luke cage was a boss
There're actually 4 endings to this game. The ones mentioned in this video and two more. If you choose to be good all the way through but infect Black Cat with the symbiote after you fight her, Spider-Man will leave a voicemail for MJ saying he did whatever it took to win and will swing off on his own.
Conversely, if you choose to be bad all the way through and not infect Black Cat with the symbiote, the ending would show Spider-Man standing by himself on top of the Empire State Building with the symbiotes by his side. I didn't know there were two other endings to this game until years later lol.
"Having no Biches is the true bad ending *🤓* "
-someone
The director I think it was even confirmed that the one where Spidey sends a voicemail to MJ is the canon one, so... kinda sad lmao
@@yimlife7195 Oh damn, I didn’t know that. Sucks we didn’t get a sequel to this game.
@@yimlife7195 eh idk im kinda on the fence with that one but ig it makes sense
The endings are either being good or bad but just if you have Bitchs or not
Its not even close to be considered "the worse spiderman game"
fun fact: this game was made in 16 months
"Games arent supposed to be made in one year, the game is very under developed" - 🤓, probably
@@user-kt3jk1vq9o 16 months is longer than a year and this game was still under developed lmfao
@@user-kt3jk1vq9o its still under developed
That honestly explains everything
Keep in mind that games these days take a minimum of 2 or 3 years to make.
there is even a rumor that Web of Shadows was originally supposed to be Marvel Zombies: the Video Game according to a blog post, but was changed because of story problems. The Spanish version of the game when defending the Stark Tower, at the moment the symbiotes enters the safe area, a message will appear saying, "Remove the zombies from the gate."
LOL The 1st Rated M Spidey game.
I'd love a Marvel Zombies game honestly.
@@ZekeTheNerdVX boss zombies being turned heroes that you can defeat and cure. therefore unlocking them for play.
A marvel zombies game would be sweet, but who would you play as?
It's a rumor, that just sounds like a mistranslation
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows very obviously inspired A LOT of things in Insomniac's Spider-Man. The electro boss fight is almost identical. Chasing Electro and Shocker is identical. Fighting turf wars and eventually escalating to a crisis where citizens lose their minds and become dangerous... the militarization of the city by a high-tech military led by a woman with a foreign accent... A mission to break into a billionaire's tower where you have to disable their security system first... A mission in Ryker's prison... Becoming an outlaw halfway through the game... The city having to be evacuated... To me, Insomniac's Spider-Man wouldn't be what it is without Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows may be my second favorite video game ever. It might be my most replayed game after Skyrim.
Fuck Cares? It is unexpected to me that you are found here. Weirder than that time I found a Minecraft youtuber for kids on the comment section of a mocie reviewer that insults frequently.
The Insomniac games really took elements of previous Spider-Man games and improved upon them, that's what I felt when playing Marvel's Spider-Man on PC for the first time ever.
wouldn't have expected you to be a web of shadows fan but im not complaining
@@itsaworkingtitleipromise Well, I played it in French, if that helps.
Yeah, but the combat is not as good as Web of Shadows.
Actually no, I'm sure it was the Beenox's Amazing Spider-man games and the story of the first game which is what inspired the plot of the Insomniac Spider-man game.
I prefer Black Cat to MJ. Too bad there doesn't seem to be any game where you can choose her without being "evil".
Gotta love how Batman can get Catwoman but Spider-Man can't get Black Cat.
You can be a good boy in this one and choose her but you just end alone and sad
You can be good and choose her.
It doesn’t make you evil. Just a dick, because cheating isn’t nice.
MJ is really annoying in this game cuz she just says don’t use the black suit every 5 seconds
Yeah that sucked Besides that and other flaws, I like the game
I actually love the optional dialogue you can get by talking to characters more. Hearing them talk about lore from the comics was great. I especially love the Wolverine boss fight where he would ask you marvel lore questions about Spider-Man like who’s killer he and Spider-Man were hunting once.
Yes that part was so great. The comics references were so great in this game even if they weren't the focus
yeah the optional dialogue is cool but how the fuck am i supposed to know who served me roast and pie that one time
Yeah I don't get the hate for the "cameos" personally I loved this since most spiderman games write off the fact that he isn't the only hero in New York
That was such a great inclusion! I played this before I got into the comics so seeing the actual lore unfold on the page always reminded me of this game.
Tfw spiderman asks you to add him to your MyFace account
Why do people dislike cameos so much now. I love the extra Marvel characters in Web of Shadows because it gives it more depth and it makes you feel more and more like your living one of the comics.
Yeah i never understood the hate. They don't need to flesh them out either. I don't mind them just showing up and fight alongside for a while then go their own ways.
It makes it feel like there's a life outside of peter parker. There are other superheroes doing stuff.
And it's always cool to see characters like wolverine.
They can take away from the main story if they're overused.
You know you're an amazing editor when the viewer has to keep rewinding to see every silly detail in the video. Every second is filled with something hilarious. Keep up the amazing videos
I'm definitely expecting Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to take some inspiration from Web of Shadows. Web of Shadows handled Symbiote Spider-Man the best in terms of gameplay and overall aesthetic, and that is objective fact, so much so that Beenox did the same thing for Shattered Dimensions with Ultimate Spidey who had the Black Suit, they basically played similarly. The insta-switch between red and black suit is not something Web of Shadows came up with tho, that's actually from the PS2/PSP/Wii version of Spider-Man 3 where you could put the suit on with the flick of a button without needing to go to a menu or anything, and then to take it off you'd have a short quicktime event where you actually saw Peter struggling to peel the suit out of him (or more accurately put it back in the cage as it were). I definitely think we'll be able to insta-change in and out of the Black Suit in SM2, with the menu just serving for alternate suits for both the red suit and the black suit.
Fun fact: the more you use the black suit, the longer the Quick Time event gets
funny enough you was correct!
My man predicted the inspiration for insomniac spiderman 2
I know it's a cliche at this point, but the absolute second I see that Alex has uploaded something new, you best believe I'm clicking.

That's how we got here
@@lyonkennedy4892obviously

I did most certainly not ask
Your videos seem like they take so much effort to make. It’s highly appreciated brother.
Hours of my life lost to making venom memes
@@AlexWebb101 it’ll be worth it in the end😂. Keep at it
@@AlexWebb101 This Game definitely deserves a remaster.
@@AlexWebb101 What video editing software you use to do all that?
@@AlexWebb101 You shall be rewarded in morbidollars
You think that this guy will ever review Morbius? Seems like perfect material for him!
It's morbin time
I can already see the comments being nothing but that annoying meme.
@@MataNui. ITS MORBIN TIME
@@MataNui. 🤓
@@itookthewooockkk5200 Hm yes let me drop this emoji when I have no counter argument to a perfectly valid statement
If Spidey's webswinging is half as stylish as Web of Shadow's, then I'm already satisfied
Physics-based system is like that, but WoS don't have a trick mechanic
@@gannielukks1811 you don't really need a trick mechanic when every single animation is already a trick lmao
@@brokenbiscuit3609 Not exactly, trick animations are manual and you can choose what you want to do, while swinging animations are still random.
I am so glad this game is finally getting all the attention and the love it deserves.
I have had it basically since day one, and have never put it down for more than a year, just because it's so fun and fluid.
ps: the DS version is awesome too :)
Ja sam je uzeo od prodavca na ulici, vreme kada nisam imao net pa nisam mogao da skinem sam nego sam se snalazio xd
The ds version of the game is surprisingly competent for a ds port the gameplays is enjoyable, combat is good and the swinging feels nice and snappy
Can we just talk about how this man’s editing is pure art 😂😂
It's amazing how good the combat system in Web of Shadows is, just brilliant and puts all the other Spider-man games to shame. It might also be the last Spidey game where you actually kept momentum when entering and exiting a swing, for some reason game devs kinda forgot how physics works in that Marvel's Spider-man game where momentum is a myth. From the gameplay trailer, its sequel also has the busted momentumless swinging.
thats why i pirated their games, just trash swinging and story. the man plot and misions awere so tiresome to play through. there was no creativity at all. id rather play spiderman 2 on the gamecube
This game has two of my favorite Venom designs.
The Venomzilla looks sick af, and I really love how you can see Eddie's mouth outside of the symbiote.
Honestly, gameplay-wise before PS4 this was my favorite Spiderman game. Lost hours just Swinging through the City
Im surprised the scene of Spidey throwing civies off a building never became a meme.
Edit: This is also the sickest Vulture has ever been, how did hid wing-swords NEVER catch on?!
They're AWESOME!
Spider-Man web of shadows is my favorite of the pre insomoniac Spidey games. During webswinging you can hear Spider-Man breathing when your altitude is really high. Little things like that showed that Shaba games really cared and tried to make a good Spidey game
I know this game came out a year before, but it's crazy that Bayonetta basically incorporating walls into combat and no Spider Man game since has done it that way. It's a perfect fit.
Yeah I wish we had more wall combat, Bayonetta has set good example of it being possible and WOB did a decent job, room for improvement but overall not bad.
You crazy. The conversations between the characters are some of my favourite moments in the game
I love this game unironically and there's absolutely nothing anyone said could change my mind.
The editing on this video was incredible, you deserve morbillions of views
No way you made this video without a team, such amazing memes, editing and animation. Or maybe you made it true by being a full-time CZcamsr. No matter what, this video beats like 99% of review and rant videos
Your videos are so entertaining. The only thing that makes me kinda sad that you don't post too often and that's normal because I can see that you put a lot of time to edit your videos, keep up the good work, also when will you make a video about tasm2... Hehe
I played the game a lot when I was young and thought it was a great game with all the action. This video perfected in how my childhood interpretation of playing this game was and love when anyone does a video on the game as not a lot of people have played this Spiderman, which is a shame as it was pretty much the Insomniac Spiderman before that game even came out. Sadly there's actually only 2 choices in the whole game that affect the endings which is the symbiote Wolverine fight and symbiote Black Cat fight which will give you 1 of the 4 endings. The other choices don't matter and finding that out through my many many playthroughs was kinda a bummer.
honestly I kinda liked all the characters that showed up to get turned into symbiote versions for boss fights lol
definitely the final boss was a bit underwhelming but kaiju venom sure looked cool lol
Spider-Man Web of Shadows has in my humble opinion the best combat of all Spider-Man games. It also has the best plot of all Spider-Man games (however, Insomniac's Spider-Man did the characters better), at least to me. I loved how the greater Marvel Universe was fit into a Spider-Man story.
I really like your attention to details for every frame in the video! I wonder how much you take to edit a video
Idk. Btw, what translator do you use?
wait you are here i really like your vid luigi
ماما ميا
Being sick and watching Alex Webb is the best thing I’ve ever done
You’re edits are way too funny man, well done
i just want alex to know he is an absolute chad.i watched his avengers video and since then i fell in love with his content.he is one of the few CZcamsrs that make me laugh and god knows how many i re watched all of his videos.
for the quality of his videos i think he deserves much more attention and subscribers.
Absolutely loved this game, in terms of PC swinging, my favorite. Combat was fluid and entertaining. Played the hell out of it.
replayed this on my old 360 about 2-3 years ago before it died (and it did when playing it) and you know how collecting tokens makes you swing faster? well it got to a point where i laughed how the game had to freeze in order to load everything up because spidey was swinging so fast.
God bless the editing in your videos man. Haven’t been this entertained in a while
Again, great editing, fast paced but still with a good overview. Bonus for flood of memes
My god, your editing is SUPER top notch! Every second of your videos always get me cracking me up.😂🤣
In all seriousness though, this game is incredibly underrated. While its issues are apparent, they don’t take away from the gameplay. Really hope this and Shattered Dimensions get rereleased one day.
it's kinda like pyrocynical editing
4:05 freaked me out so much cos I have the same venom poster and wasn’t sure if I was only seeing the reflection of my screen
I LOVE the editing you put in these videos!❤😂
Bro this was so funny. The editing caught me off guard lots of times. Keep it up!
I freaking loved this video!! I wonder how much efforts and editing and time has put into to create such an amazingly fantastic video…
You’re a genius Alex!!
1:30 lol that came out of nowhere
Love your videos man. Always entertaining 👌🏾
Boy were you right. Turns out Insomniac did take inspiration from wed of shadows a lot for Spider-man 2 and game looks incredible.
15:10 Ok, hold up. Is that MJ with a fucking shotgun? I wanna know what events led to that happening.
Symbiotes took over city that’s what lead her to having that for self defense
I can confirm I’m one of the people who bought this years after release, had to choose between this and shattered dimensions, saw wolverine on the cover and bought this instead
This game of web of shadows has been my favourite game since I was 4 yrs old, and man I have played it until my wii console sadly broke... but I always loved to throw all cars I found around.
I'm surprised this game was seen as bad by critics.
Most critics actually loved the combat and innovations it brought but what they were very harsh on was the story and bugs
I haven't experienced any major bugs so I can't speak for everyone
Did you see the amount of water in the game???
@@DatPRGuy2017 the issue for me is that most of the time webs stick to uncle ben rather than buildings which is kinda sad.
it's insane how much of the memes flow one after another into each other
I think what people miss about this game is almost entirely the combat and the huge skill trees with choices that matter for leveling them. I'm playing through spiderman remastered atm and the combat just feels way too simple in this game compared to web of shadows. Theres only like 3 or 4 new moves you can unlock by leveling up in the new one, whereas in web of shadows leveling up and unlocking abilities completely changed the combat and made you feel way more powerful as you play.
There are actually 4 different endings with two being good and two being bad. There is a good ending with Mary Jane, a good ending with Black Cat, a bad ending with Mary Jane, and a bad ending with Black Cat.
12:41 that sound is a bit sus
If this game was made with a stronger story, better voice acting, greater variety in open world content (eg. races) and post game content, this would have been the best if not one of the best Spider-Man games. I would have been keen on seeing how this would have turned out if there was more dev time. Maybe we could get a fan remake that builds on what this game did.
12:36 like a criminal undercover (pls send help)
If insomniac Spider-man 2 is not like this I don't want it
Bro, your production quality is fucking insane. Your videos are the definition of quality over quantity.
0:39😭😭 what a time to be alive
I actually like that the other marvel characters are in web in shadows, the world more lived in. They also come help you whenever your fighting crime or symbioties throughout the game. Compared to Spider-Man PS4, which is amazing, but it’s kind of jarring where it references other superheroes like Daredevil, Doctor Strange and the Avengers. But none of them show up when Devil’s Breath is released and the Sinster Six is rampaging across town.
It was mentioned that during Marvel's Spider-Man, Avengers were in the west coast
And the entirety of the game happens in like 1-2 days I think
Also, Strange doesn't really dwell in things like that, even if they endanger the whole city
And Daredevil is I think not strong enough to be helpful with any member of the game's universe Sinister Six
The fast paced narrating style mixed with Alex twisted sense of humor is what keeps me coming back too to this channel.
P.S.A. You missed a great opportunity for a pun with Webb of Shadows
My favorite thing is the movement and the things like being able to perch on a wall, or the sides of flag poles and especially the wall combat
The combat was amazing. The red suit had great air options and cc but the black suit had them whips and brutal, crushing damage. The story choices were an excellent inclusion too
15:33 black cat > MJ
And wolverine can regenerate
So nothing bad happened, evil ending ftw :)
I genuinely love your videos. I'm learning things! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow! This is your first video I've whatched and your editing is amazing!
From the gameplays that I saw I agree, this is one of the best Spider-Man games. I was thinking to get it for my ps3, but watching your video I've remembered that I hate screen tearing
19:02 well we have seen a tinkerer in miles Morales’s game but if web of shadows tinkerer pulls up through a portal I’d buy 10000000000 copies
4:02 all joking aside his room is actually really nice that ps5 and tobey maguire cutout is the best thing to exist
You upload once in a blue moon but when you do damn is it good. Definitely worth the wait.
Love this channel you deserve more subs
This game is what introduced me to Moon Knight, and to this day he's my favourite marvel character.
I'm a big fan of dialogue choices in game, thats the main reason why I liked Web of Shadows back then. Being able to switch from the symbiot suit to classic Spiderman was also nice.
I like the way how you edit bro great video any tips on how to edit videos like yours? Like what do you use to edit
The editing on these videos probably has to be one of my favorite aspects of your content
I can’t imagine how many hours this took to edit you are an artist man nice job🔥 I do enjoy this game & in terms of scale this is much bigger & better imo than the recent Spider-Man games when it comes to how big the threat really is. Like it’s all over the city & other heroes you can add to your team I like. Edge of Time is also good & that’s just arkham asylum with Spider-Man pretty much
I love web of shadows game because is actually Fun for me even when there's obvious horrible glitchs
Insomniac did indeed use the tinker in the Miles Morales game. Unfortunately, it was a phony tinkerer
The Editing Is hilarious 😂 😂
7:39, in terms of story, we have no story
1:53 🤨📸
Alex webbs editing are top notch and makes the videos very entertaining.
I gotta ask. If no one bought Web of Shadows, why are the prices jacked up for copies?
This game has a great story and gameplay. I only wish they had the combat look more like how the new Spider-Man games from 2018 look. A bit more realistic. I also think they could have gotten a better voice actor for Spider-Man but I can look past it about 15 minutes into the game
No lmfao. The 2018 game doesn't doesn't have wall combat, fleshed out air strikes or various options in air combat and WoS is supposed to mimic "The way of the Spider" from the comics. The only thing 2018 Spider-Man does better at is the ground combat but asides that it's a gadgetfest which is so barebones if you don't use it
Screw realism, this is a super strong character and someone who can canonically break jaws and dodge bullets, not every game needs to feek generic af
And before you take this as me saying WoS is better than the 2018 game, I'm not. 2018 is miles better in terms of graphics, missions, content, acting and ground combat but Wos stomps it when it comes to air and wall moves
Imma disagree with u here. I think Web of Shadows has great combat, u can even fight on walls and I enjoy the aerial combat too . And slide down the side of buildings. U can slam enemies into walls as the windows on the ground level break repeatedly. Between 2018 spiderman and web of shadows I'll choose web of shadow combat.
@@DatPRGuy2017 I meant for the combat to not be extremely flashy considering the story was going to be dark
7:14 NO THE OTHER ONE!!!😂😂
One my fav spidey games, the VA alctually grew on me more I played it too and still have it my head vividly at times haha. Loved the combat. We striking, then doing that weird combo where you turn the fight into a paddle ball thing and kick and web and kick and web yank was so satisfying and never got old.
Bro this has to be the most entertaining and best edited video I have ever seen
The Flashback was awesome specially with venom music 4:12
0:21 "As we all know, Spider-Man 3 is by far the best superhero movie ever created."
Morbius which won 12 Morbscars and made 847 morbillion dollars on the box-office: *Wrong.*
Always great to see you pop up in the sub box!
I've got a fucking Final in a few days, I have no time to watch this, but to satisfy my Curiousity, I'm gonna sit through the first half minute of this video just to get an idea then leave when I've lost interest. Goddamn man, your editing is so much fun... even the ad...
I always like to replay this game every couple of months cuz it's literally the best game of all time to me.
9:35 what are you talking about the myspace drop is fucking gold
I cannot get over how stellar your comedic timing and editing is....my god
Ah man I love being a teacher and setting my class rules
Rule 1: know everything
Rule 2: since you follow rule 2 no doubts shall be asked
(I graduated from taco bell's bathroom)
I remember when this game was being developed. They had a whole marketting push on the duality of Spider-Man with or without the venom suit and letting "you decide" how things go.
I voted on the website for some things they gave a choice of which to put in the game. And then I didn't get the game when it released bc of mediocre reviews 😂.
I'm always amazed by This guy's editing
9:26 James leaving CowChop NOOOOOOO 😭😭😭 Great video by the way, I love this game. Fantastic editing.
There is a big chance the Marvel's Spiderman 2 we have something similar to this game with Venom being the antagonist role, with Peter using some Black Suit or maybe is gonna be like the Ultimate Spiderman game, but I wish something more like Web of Shadows with Peter using Symbiots.
