Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has a little more turf to cover in this epic that follows four incarnations of the web-slinger through four different dimensions. Search for pieces of a tablet scattered across four worlds, playing as a different version of the wall-crawler in each one. Lurk in the shadows of 1930s New York City as Spider-Man Noir. Fast-forward to 2099 and play as Future Spider-Man. Navigate Marvel's Ultimate Universe as Ultimate Spider-Man. And swing through the familiar ink-on-paper-style world of the Amazing Spider-Man. Each version of Spidey has a unique look and unique skills, and each dimension features its own set of powerful foes just waiting to welcome him.

The best Spider-Man game yet, but still has flaws.
The game is really a blast. Each dimension has its differences, but enough similarity that it doesn't take too much to learn how to play each one. The game is split up into 3 stages, each with a 30 to 50 minutes level for each dimension. You can play these in any order and it won't mess with anything, which is a nice touch. Through the 12 levels, 4 of them really stuck out as amazing. The Sandman and Juggernaut levels for the Amazing Universe were both well-made and very fun to play, the Goblin level in the Noir Universe is a worthy finale for that realm, and obviously, fighting Carnage is exactly who it would've been. hard and intense the whole time. Truly my favorite. And all the 2099 levels are fun, they're probably my favorite realm due to its amazing graphical presentation and style, but none of the levels are stand-outs. Unfortunately, this game has bad levels. Such as Kraven, Vulture, and Deadpool. The Ultimate Realm and 2099 are the best of the bunch. Ultimate has the most stable levels with the least problems and the Rage is awesome! And 2099 has its glitches and camera problems at times, but are the most out going levels. And the closed off levels versus the open world style of old Spider-Man games, actually makes it better.<br /><br />Pros: Amazing presentation for all the dimensions, especially 2099. Great differences in combat and level design for each realm, the Web of Destiny is a super cool addition, levels are great, especially Carnage. Videos and character bios are a plus. Voice acting is perfect. Web zip is great, and the character designs are top notch as are the videos.<br /><br />Cons: Bad camera at times, some bad and just annoying levels, and several annoying glitches in the camera and gameplay. And the final level against Mysterio is just bad. Glitchy, long, and dumb.<br /><br />This game is worth your time, defiantly a rent, and a for sure buy for hard-core comic nerds.I'll be buying it, just be prepared for controller throwing anger at the finale. Which is a shame.

Great idea but flawed
The idea of having multiple versions of Spidey battling his gallery of villains is great, but the control system/camera is highly annoying and it's very, very difficult to get your bearings as to where you are in a given environment. It is also very hard to precisely to get to a given spot using the camera/navigation, esp. during boss battles.

Shattered Dimensions Review
During an encounter with Mysterio, the Amazing Spider-Man accidentally shatters the “Tablet of Order and Chaos”, and causes unbalance in multiple Marvel dimensions. Four different realities of Spider-Man: the Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, inspired by the Noir series set in 1930s Great Depression era, Spider-Man 2099, based on Spider-Man (Miguel O'Hara) created by Peter David and Rick Leonardi for Marvel Comics' Marvel 2099 line, and Ultimate Spider-Man, the Spider-Man currently bonded with a symbiote (Venom suit), must help Madame Web restore order in the Marvel Universes. Shattered Dimensions is a decent Spider-Man game worth renting. <br /><br />The game has an authentic Spider-Man feel with Neil Patrick Harris, Christopher Daniel Barnes, and Josh Keaton as some of the voice actors for the alternate types of Spider-Man; all have background in animated or other game versions of Spider-Man. Also, Stan Lee finds a way to fit in as the narrator. Each Spider-Man has his own voice with plenty witty humor. There’d be no Spider-man with out his villain, and the game is full of them such as the Goblin, Sandman, Juggernaut, and Kraven the Hunter to name a few. There are even new Villains like Hammerhead a 1930’s loan shark with a skull inches thick and good for a head-butt. <br /><br />At first the game play seems versatile with button mashing as Amazing Spider-Man and using stealth as Noir Spider-Man, but the level formula stays the same. Basically, you spend the level chasing a super-villain and destroying any henchman in your path in order to get a piece of the artifact, but it’s interesting to see who you have to chase next, since Spider-Man’s villains are some of the best in comics. Also, the Character and Combo upgrades are interesting. You can complete some exciting combos and earn a few alternate Spider-Man customs. <br /><br />Overall, I give Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions a 7 out of 10. Big Spider-Man fans should consider buying this game while moderate fans should just rent.

Good but can be very boring
This game has solid gameplay and story but is very repetitive how you get to play as 4 different spideys well everything is good bosses are unique story fine but it just gets boring fighting goons and weird creature every level i played 4 levels on the hardest difficultly and i fought hob goblin, kraven, hammerhead, and electro all different spidermen voice acting is good even brought christopher daniel barnes the voice of 1994 spidey as Noir. Good graphics, story, and gameplay but when you have nothing but just button mashing it gets boring if you like spiderman you'll love this game just you can't play it all at once i played it in intervals

Extremely Fun! Extremely Rent-able!
I give this game a 8 because it's interesting all the way until the end...
<br />But also because I wouldn't buy it. I'm an young adult who's a fan of spider-man I'm more interested in serious games, I guess. Although, I recommend younger kids or teens to buy it. Heck, if you're a adult and like Spider-man it's fun enough to rent and buy too.
<br />
<br />There are parts of the game that remind you of Spider-man 1 on he PS1 system, which is the wall crawling part and the swinging off of sky. (which is not possible) but It brought me back to fun and exciting games.
<br />
<br />Bosses are pretty fun. Each level changes up enough so that it doesn't get repetitive. The cut scenes are great. This spider-man is a little more sarcastic and meaner than all the others which makes the game more funnier. You Upgrade just about everything for each Spider-man character, and the more spidey icons points (if that's what they call it) you collect you'll soon be able to unlock different costumes. Which they are pretty sweet. You'll want to see them.
<br />
<br />Rent it... Buy it... The game is honestly fun, especially for Spider-man fans.

Great Game
I was pretty skeptical when I added this game to my GameQ. It turned out to be a Great game.<br /><br />As We all know, The past games are your usual "swing across the city to Your missions, While beating up baddies on the side", But this is totally different.<br /><br />The game is cut up into Levels. No, You can't go around A City and swing around like a Crazy Bafoon. The Levels give you alot of freedom, And the boss Battles are awesome, Especially the Sandman one.<br /><br />Graphics are Average, Nothing that will make You drool or anything. <br /><br />As we all know the levels are cut up into 4 Dimensions, You play a level for each one and get a piece in a certain order, the order is: Amazing, Noir, 2099, and Ultimate. And then you repeat that order, Each level You chase after a boss Who has a piece.<br /><br />They all give You a new taste, Amazing is a more Brighter play field (Great feature in several levels: In levels such as sandman, Boxes and crates and barrels will start flying around all over the place in the air, and you can web zip from these crates, Think the scene in Spiderman where he is diving to save his aunt, pulling himself closer with the falling rubble.), As Noir is a darkness field (It plays out like Splinter Cell: Conviction, Its brighter when Your in the light and people can see you, And will shoot you if they are turned towards you. You can do Takedowns from the walls, From behind somebody, And more), 2099 is a more futuristic setting, They have a cool feature where Your skydiving between buildings after a enemy. You also have this Accelerated Vision, Where You can turn it on when the meter is full, and time slows down for everyone around You and you can beat everyone up in that time.<br />Ultimate Has pretty much the same playing field as Amazing, Maybe just slightly darker? You have a Rage bar that can be filled as you fight and then you go into a powerful state and You can kill everything rather quickly.<br /><br />It has some funny jokes as well, And with all of this I give it a 9.

COOL
Spiderman is a fun game to play.Lets start with Noir is probably the best out of all of them to me.There are numerous amounts of takedowns,but the only thing wrong is its always kill, save citizen,kill,boss fight,but other than that its fun.Amazing was ok the boss fights at the end are preaty cool,but he has no special abillities so not as fun as you would expected.2099 was really epic jumping from high buildings to chase the bad guy.2099s special abillity is to go in slow motion to dodge rockets,and the boss fights are fun.Ultimate was really cool going into rage mode is awsome to use some.Boss fights are fun but some are easy but its fun.Overall is was fun its has a problem here and there.The finall boss fight wasn't as fun as I expected,but im not going to spoil it for you.The games worth a rent .I give it a 8.5.

No Go
This game absolutely blows.
<br />It is boring. The concept is great, but the gameplay is absolutely lame.

good concept, clumsy implementation
The graphics are fantastic, the combat is frenetic and fun, the character upgrade system is based off the of the popular Devil May Cry model, with an innovative twist.<br /><br />However, the controls are clumsy and the boss fights are poorly designed. What must be accomplished in each fight is usually clear, but the controls make the fight significantly more difficult than is necessary. In essence, the controls themselves become an obstacle in the boss fight.<br /><br />Another month of polish on the controls and targeting (as well as the irksome camera) would have made this an 8 easily.<br /><br />Overall, it's a disappointment.
