E3 2008: New 'Spider-Man: Web of Shadows' Gameplay Footage

Activision videogame proves that a Spidey versus Vulture battle can be cool

Even Sam Raimi would be hard-pressed to choreograph a great fight between Spider-Man and the Vulture. I mean, c’mon. Adriane Toomes is an old man who dresses like a carrion-eating bird. He’s not one of Spidey’s A-list bad guys.

After watching Activision's latest footage for the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows videogame, I believe a man can fly… and fight! The battle highlighted developer Shaba Games promise to bring Spider-Man’s mid-air battles to life.

Also note Peter Parker giving in to his dark side and letting the black costume take control. The balance between the classic and black costumes is supposed to be a major point of the game.

Video of the gameplay is posted after the jump.

In a related bit of news, Activision let fans pick the final box art for the game on the official website. It’s no surprise they chose the one with Venom and Wolverine on the cover. It’s like the '90s never ended.
