Nah, it was good. I enjoyed the story far more than the others but i enjoyed Web of Shadows gameplay more.
Beenox needs to work harder at making the combo system a bit more entertaining and thats about it.

Spiderman game was a cool game
Spiderman 2 movie was so much better. Better than all previously releases Spidy games.
Spiderman 3…people said it was sh*, I never touched it
Spiderman Ultimate, didn’t try it
Spiderman Webs of Shadow. I decided to rent this after 3/4 years it was released. And men the presentation was a piece of sh*! It felt like it had something cool going with it’s awesome combat but presentation was full of bugs and bad, adding with bad voice acting.
Spiderman Shattered Dimensions: Best of the Best! Best overall! Awesome voice acting, funny dialogues and quips, great combat and animation. It triumphs over all Spidy games.
