Spider-Man and the rest of the Avengers get in motion-based battles against evil alien clones, giving a storyline excuse for Spidey to beat the tar out of fellow heroes. Based on the hit Secret Invasion comics storyline, Battle for Earths simplified fighting gameplay cant compare to the depth of its Capcom competition, but its better than people expect from its Kinect-based gameplay. Fans may never see him on the team in movie theaters, but they do get to see Spider-Man take part in games like this one from Ubisoft. Spider-Man has been a core member of the Avengers for over a decade in the comics, despite the fact that he doesnt appear anywhere in the billion-dollar film franchise.
Comic fans will find slight pleasure seeing Spider-Mans super friend Daredevil make a non-playable appearance, becoming a level-clearing bonus attack after Spidey saves him early on. The web-slinging is adequate thanks to Sega sticking to its own Spider-template, but its actually worse than the publishers previous arachnid efforts, partly thanks to a failure to use the 32Xs power appropriately. Web of Fire is from the same mold as Segas previous Spider-Man titles (more on those later), with average stages full of nameless thugs and doomsday devices. This unlucky game saw a very limited release, making it a highly collectible title, but dont make the mistake of thinking its some lost gem just because people are charging $400 for it on eBay. Unfortunately, the 32X had a small install base and an even smaller library of games, meaning Sega discontinued the system the same year Web of Fire came out. The 32X was one of a number of Segas mid-90s misfires, but youd think that the 32-bit add-on would get a boost from an exclusive Spider-Man game.
