Spider-Man has had a bunch of games over the past years. Spider-Man for the PlayStation being one of the most famous. Spider-Man 2 was also a hit with fans. Fast forward to 2008, where Spider-Man: Web of Shadows came out. That game didn't sit well with fans. Most sites give it a rating of 6 and lower. I for one thought it was one of the best games of all time. Now, the question is, how does Shattered Dimensions fare against all this? Read on.
I'll be the first to say it. Shattered Dimensions isn't nearly as cool as Web of Shadows, but it's still an awesome game. The developers succeeded in making it seem like four games in one.
Playing as Amazing is similar to the past Spider-Man games. Playing as Noir is one of the coolest things I've ever done in gaming. The whole spy-feel is just epic. Playing as 2099 has a very "free" atmosphere. The level designs for 2099 is breathtaking. And finally, playing as Ultimate feels like a mixture of Spider-Man and Venom from the Ultimate Spider-Man game.
The gameplay is similar to the past Spider-Man games. Each combo is exciting for each Spider-Man. Nothing beats destroying enemies with the Symbiote. Also, the inclusion of first-person gameplay was neat.
The plot itself is simple. I was hoping for more cutscenes. I was kinda surprised that Mysterio was the main villain, since he was used in Friend or Foe. He makes a fine villain.
One of the cons was that there should have been more levels. Thirteen levels is good, but I would have loved some more Noir levels.
I know a lot of you won't agree with me on this, but does Spider-Man have to crack a joke every sentence? Another thing I liked about Web of Shadows was that he was a lot more serious.
My favorite level is the Carnage one. Nothing beats going through a symbiote-infested helicarrier.
In closing, Shattered Dimensions is an awesome game. All Spidey fans will enjoy it.
I give this game a 8/10.
