Game description: Experience an all-new combat system in two exciting ways. Redesigned from the ground up, a unique combat system empowers both Spider-Man and Black-Suited Spider-Man to perform suit-specific powers and abilities. State of the art animations, combos and finishers make punch, kick and web attacks more super-heroic than ever. Battle 10 of Spider-Man-s most infamous enemies from the movie and Marvel universe including Sandman and Venom.
Loosely based on the Spider-Man 3 film, the game's plot fallows and expands on the film by including additional characters and elements from the Spider-Man comics and the Marvel Universe.
