5. Spider-Man Web of Shadows: The Story

Web of Shadows is a very different take on the whole Venom thing.

After a battle with Venom, part of the symbiote attaches to Spider-Man, giving him back the iconic black costume. Spider-Man fights against a series of classic enemies while a symbiote invasion slowly takes over the city while also trying to fight off his own darker impulses. Depending on what choices the player makes (we'll get to that next entry), Spider-Man either rejects the symbiote and defeats Venom for good, or embraces it and conquers New York.

Throughout the adventure, Spider-Man finds ally ship in either his heroic friends (Luke Cage, Moon Knight, Wolverine) or his former enemies (Vulture, Black Cat, Rhino, Electro). The story is a little hard to talk about because of the morality system but the real only way to play is Red Path. The Black Path plot is dumb as hell, and just reads like edgy fanfiction written by someone who doesn't understand why Spider-Man is fun.

So I guess the story is 50% good and 50% dumb?
