Thankfully, in the shadows his health will respawn, so Noir takes on an almost Batman approach to crime fighting: hide in the shadows, and take out your threats from above. He is a capable fighter one-on-one, but any more than that, and his health takes a dive. This is less important, however, as Noir is focused on stealth. Activision took some liberties with this version, as he has some extra web abilities he doesn’t have in the comics, such as web swing. Based upon the Noir universe, everything is very much in shades of gray, black, and muddy yellow. His web could transform in fists and hammers, and the combat felt a little bit more distance based than Ultimate.įinally, Spider-Man Noir offered the most interesting version of the webbed on. My demo ended there, but this stage offered a little of the free swinging I had been hoping for, as well as showed off the web abilities Amazing could use. By swinging over and saving the nearby construction workers, I was able to get past. Spider-Man, the pro at randomly falling into the wrong situation at the wrong time, found himself in the midst of a bunch of enemies in the middle of a construction site. In his mission, Spidey was chasing after Juggernaut, who in his escape destroyed some gas pipes to cause a fire. Generally, Ultimate is all about the action, with a little bit more focus on the punches.Īmazing, however, is all about the web action. Between first-person punches and kicking his ass into some jet engines, the Carnage fight was usually just mash away at him and jumping out of the way at the last second. That level ended with a boss battle against Carnage. Ultimate can use his Spidey sense, and can also use a rage mode that will increase his powers. With fire and alien flesh all over the place, everything took on a reddish hue.

It was a three-way battle with Spidey, who was chasing down Carnage. For example, the Ultimate Spider-Man level took place in a S.H.E.I.L.D hangar, with a battle going on between Carnage’s minions and S.H.E.I.L.D bots. While all of the versions of Spider-Man share the same general fighting combos and spider abilities, there is still plenty of variation. However, swinging aside, each of the four different universes offer slightly different aesthetics and gameplay.
