I was having a look on the Web of Shadows website & noticed the seize control section where people can vote for what they want in the game. I've added it into this article as well as links to the website, but if I've done something wrong, feel free to change any of it. InfernoSonic 18:22, 16th May 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of links, the Official Website link leads to a vimeo site with an Unforgettable trailer... I'm not thinkin' that it's the right site.... Can we fix this? I don't know the URL for the official site though. 76.185.93.230 (talk) 19:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking of adding a picture of the logo for the article, but I wouldn't know how to get one where I have permission. I thought I should ask in case anyone has any ideas InfernoSonic 18:24, 16th May 2008 (UTC)
IGN.com has announced the Luke Cage, Vulture and Kingpin, also Venom etc... and Blacked suit Spider-Man how do we add this information. http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14247561/imgs_1.html .--Lbrun12415 23:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
If someone doesn't begin citing the info within the article soon, i'm going to remove it all. Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 18:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

He's kind of in the trailer >_>68.230.48.73 (talk)
Nightcrawler is one source http://forum.seizecontrol.com/us/topic.php?id=782 . Also game play is different for PSP meaning its more of a scolling game.--Lbrun12415 04:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Is Spider-Man the only playable character or are there others? 142.26.133.248 (talk) 18:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC) Spider-Man is the only playable character. It wouldn't be Spider-Man Web of Shadows without playing Spider-Man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.186.42 (talk) 21:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Tom Kane recently did the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Public Service Announcer for the Symbiote Infection in the recent trailer for this game. One of the Stark buildings is in it, so I am unsure if Iron Man will be in it also. Rtkat3 (talk) 1:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I remember seeing somewhere that the Wii version would be a full 3D/freeroamer like the 360/PS3 versions. The fact that all three are coming from the same developer backs this up. Also, this link talks about how controls were translated from the XBox to Wii versions, so that gives even more proof. [1]. 216.236.163.39 (talk) 21:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps we could get a full one up by now, its not that long of a game to beat twice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.139.147 (talk) 12:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
(Moved back to beginning to conserve space)Several games have different endings, and i've seen that some article creators move the non canon ones to a separate section of the article, that could very easily worked
We've been tagged. Maybe if we separate the plot/storyline into the acts (Act I, Act II, Act III) it'll be easier to read.
although it would be interesting to know all the possible endings, it would get kinda ridiculous to list all the different combinations of choices... Strobes13 (talk) 05:16, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
The character list for the PS2 version seems a little bit ridiculous. Can anyone confirm that's not vandalism?
This helps a number of things:
I'd say for now that we augtha keep the characters table as-is, since lots of those characters carry over to other systems and two tables would get sortof convoluted. --Teancum (talk) 14:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
The size it is now is fine, we have both plots down to around 5-6 paragraphs and we have an alternate ending guide. Technically we probably aught to trim it some more, but at this point it's tough to do so. But please don't add all the red/black suit choices again Wikipedia is not a game manual. That's what GameFaqs is for. --Teancum (talk) 06:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Of the 10 or so reviews given, 4 have 6.5 or lower, and one is a C+. It's only fair to say that it received mixed reviews, since in most cases a 7/10 is considered fair, so those lower scores are below fair. The game may be awesome to consumers, but the fact of the matter is that not all critics agreed. Even if an argument were made that more of the reviews were positive, it's still not a vast majority, and this can't be biased. --Teancum (talk) 13:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Aren't there supposed to be 4 endings, because I know of the two already listed, but I'm pretty sure there are two more based on the last two path choices, like you get Black Cat to MJ on the hovercraft and kill Venom, or infect Black Cat with the symbiote and save Venom. The two listed are all red choices and black choices.12.37.71.171 (talk) 05:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
1. 100% Good: (Give Black Cat to MJ and finish game with Red Allignment)
Spider-Man is sitting on a roof narrating the events of the game to himself. MJ walks up to him and they go swinging through the city.
2. 50% Good: (Infect Black Cat with symbiote and finish game with Red Allignment)
Spider-Man calls MJ on his cell phone and apologizes to her for what he did before walking away forlornly.
3. 50% Evil: (Give Black Cat to MJ and finish game with Black Allignment)
Symbiote Spider-Man is standing on a rooftop angrily monologuing about MJ rejecting him, and then says he will take her back no matter what and that no one would dare say no to him again as the symbiotes roar up at him.
The Tinkerer, Black Widow, and Kingpin are standing on the roof of Fisk Tower. A VTOL arrives with a steel crate containing Symbiote Wolverine. Black Widow sends him to capture Spider-Man dead or alive, and Symbiote Wolverine decides to kill him.
4. 100% Evil: (Infect Black Cat with symbiote and finish game with Black Allignment)
Symbiote Spider-Man and Symbiote Black Cat are standing on a roof top talking about their plans for the city. Spider-Man reminisces about Uncle Ben's "With great power comes great responsability," speech and then says that he had no idea what true power was until that moment as the symbiotes roar up at them.
The Tinkerer, Black Widow, and Kingpin are standing on the roof of Fisk Tower. A VTOL arrives with a steel crate containing Symbiote Wolverine. Black Widow sends him to capture Spider-Man dead or alive, and Symbiote Wolverine decides to kill him. 75.157.122.154 (talk) 04:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I think it's okay to list how many and how to get alternate endings, I don't think it's alright to list what the different endings are. At least put a spoiler alert. I'm going to edit this to say "there are 4 endings depending on the choices made, feel free to edit, but please, have the courtesy to at least spoiler alert people.Bridger.anderson (talk) 07:37, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Yep, if endings are added the most canonical ending should be the only one. As Spider-Man is a hero, that would likely be an ending that's red-suited. --Teancum (talk) 18:26, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Are the versions that different, besides the plot? If they are: make a seperate page for the PS2/PSP games. Perhaps call it Spider-Man: Web of Shadows - Amazing Allies Edition. Otherwise: CONDENSE the plot. Talking about different versions is just fine, but when a majority of the article is just plot details, it's a problem. Plot summary: not a plot guide to much of the game. RobJ1981 (talk) 19:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Since we have a complete Nintendo DS section I have nominated this article for Good Article status --Teancum (talk) 15:48, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
This article does not meet the good article criteria and has too many issues. It has therefore failed its nomination. Issues include but are not limited to:

I tried writing my own plot summary, how's this?
During a flashback to four days earlier, Spider-Man retells his account of how his encounter with Venom ended with the symbiote partially binding to himself.
After the fight with Venom, Spider-Man meets Luke Cage during a gang drive by shooting. Spider-Man is then trained by Luke Cage and assists him in cleaning up the streets and in arranging a peaceful meeting between gang leaders.
Spider-Man discovers high tech assassins on the roofs of the meeting place of the gang leaders. He traces the assassins back to the Kingpin. After a few encounters with the Kingpin’s gang, Spider-Man and the Kingpin's henchmen are attacked by symbiote controlled citizens of New York City. The police soon arrive and Spider-Man is witnessed throwing a symbiote controlled person off of a building and is then considered to be a murderer.
Wolverine, thinking Spider-Man to be possed by a symbiote, tracks down and confronts Spider-Man. After a brief battle, the two begin tracking down infected citizens. Eventually Spider-Man finds Venom throwing people into symbiote pods. After the pods are destroyed, S.H.I.E.L.D. comes and quarantines New York and setups up quarantine camps. Electro attacks a camp, finds his sister who is symbiote controlled, and then Electro himself infected attempting to help his sister.
Spider-Man decides that the only way to save New York is to break the Tinkerer out of prison. Upon reaching the prison, Ryker's Island, Spider-Man frees the Rhino, disables the prison units, and escapes with the Tinkerer. The Tinkerer designs a device to be installed on the Trask building that removes the symbiotes from their hosts without harming the citizens of New York. After defeating symbiote controlled versions of Wolverine, Electro, the Black Cat, and the Vulture, Spider-Man activates the device, looses his own symbiote, and then responds to an attack on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier by the remaining symbiotes.
After setting bombs to destroy the Helicarrier, a giant five headed version of Venom attacks. Spider-Man is able to destroy four of the heads, and calls on Brock to try and assist with destroying the symbiotes. Brock sacrifices himself, weakens the symbiote monster and the Helicarrier explodes.
Several days after the explosion of the Helicarrier, Spider-Man then reflects over the events of the last several days with Mary Jane Watson at his side.
The current version contains every last point of the story. I didn't even bother mentioning Moon Knight, nor did I think it was necessary to include Peter's phone calls to whoever. Bridger.anderson (talk) 22:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Agh, I noticed every few weeks some new user comes along, adds back in the choices and every little detail of the story and completely ignors what has been discussed on this page. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, a big sign saying "Welcome to Wikipedia" is flashing in my mind. It'd be more helpful if they would actually take the time to rewrite the plot for the other platforms.Bridger.anderson (talk) 18:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I know three of the four endings, but if I put them on, I should have all four at once. Does anyone know the black suit ending WITHOUT symbiote black cat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yu56lercvfuyijmhkyudyg (talk • contribs) 03:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
We should leave it with a neutral ending statement, the way it is currently. 142.26.133.248 (talk) 17:26, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Even though it's not canonical, shouldn't we mention that the plot could be drastically different based on the player's choices? The 4th ending doesn't even MENTION Mary Jane.--70.171.13.13 (talk) 00:27, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
A lot of you seem to think that the article should not include a summary of the four possible endings, and a lot of you seem to think we should add a summary of the four possible endings. Well, someone's gone and added such a summary, so what should we do about it? 75.157.120.15 (talk) 00:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
