REVIEW:

I just finished the newest video game to feature our favorite symbiote, Venom. Read the official review below:

The Good: Spider-Man - The ability to pull off a ground, wall, and air combo is really fun. This is the first Spider-Man game that really took advantage of all of Spidey's abilities. It was also really cool to switch between "Red" and "Black" Spider-Man mid fight. Final Boss - Without giving anything away, I thought this was a great idea and can't believe it wasn't used in any games before this. With that being said, I felt that the game dramatically fell after this boss. The ending made no sense.

The Bad: Venom - Where to begin! His head was 95% mouth and 5% forehead. He looked awful. Then there is his voice. Half of the time I couldn't understand him, the other half of the time his lines felt like they were written by a 10 year old. The Story -There were a lot of holes in this story, so I won't go into it too much. If there is an explanation on how or why Venom I totally missed it. Also, who picked the list of "Allies" in this game? Vulture....Rhino.....Luke Cage, seriously? I did like the addition of Moon Knight, however.

The Overall: 2 outta 5. There was no challenge to this game and Spider-Man's combos were the only thing to separate it from previous Spidey games. I much rather preferred the Spider-Man 3: The Movie game. If you have a free rental and about 10 hours to kill, pick it up.
