This is by far the best one yet and is probably the best Spider-Man game, period, of the last few years.

It’s short, there is a bit of tedium with the backtracking, and it’s competing in a virtual sea of gaming goodness ready to release within the next month or so. But for Spidey fans and action lovers alike, you can’t go wrong with this web-slinging adventure.

Once again, DS owners prevail. Console owners have to deal with a sloppy 3D experience, but on the handheld we get ourselves a tight and satisfying experience that has nothing to do with the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii games of the same name.

Sadly, for as great a game as Web of Shadows is on the DS, it is over far too quickly and leaves you with no immediate reason to revisit anytime soon.

From negotiating the labyrinthine levels to cracking heads, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows brilliantly captures the essence of Spidey.

More of the same conceptually, but the highly polished gameplay makes it a joyous, must-play Spider-Man sequel.

While Web of Shadows is not the perfect Spider-Man game, it’s certainly a quality offering and is heads and shoulders above the previous Spider-Man DS title.

Web of Shadows takes Spider-Man into new territory with an enjoyable action adventure romp that's over too soon.

It’s polished and fun for the four or five hours it lasts. Hopefully Griptonite takes this solid foundation and really expands on it in a future Spider-Man title.

If you're looking for a quick and fun Spider-Man adventure, Web of Shadows will entertain you. If you want something a little deeper with more bang for its buck, however, you might want to seek out something else.

Web of Shadows is a passable, but sincere, form of flattery to the king of the genre.
