It is not a perfect game, by any means. Missions really drag on some times, and you wind up having to do the same thing 20 times, but this is just as often the case in prototype. If you enjoyed prototype, you'll enjoy web of shadows. It's just more fun. Also Mercer moves pretty smoothly in prototype, but spiderman is built for it. Feels much, much cooler to jet through the city as spidey.
While GR missed the boat on a stark comparison of how prototype rips it off, credit to GR for recognising WOS as the better game when it comes to review scores. People like IGN just seem to think 'oh it's a blockbuster, give it 7.5', but dished our friend spidey with a 6.5 or something despite being objectively better. Poor show.
I smell a big Spiderman fanboy. Har har. On a serious note, IGN has given many blockbusters high scores, I don't see why they'd give it a bad score just because it's a blockbuster. The reviewer probably simply didn't enjoy it that much. I often agree with their scores. Also, I'd say GR's review of a C+ is pretty spot on with a 7.5, but I don't see you guys bashing GR's score.
