Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is the first Spider-Man game for major console issue in any years. Once again, it's been developed by Activision, but I had high expectations as they've had such a long amelioration cycle.
As far as the plot is concerned, Mysterio is searching for an all qualified tablet that will make him far stronger than the hack of a magician he really is. The tablet was shattered and scattered throughout four different dimensions, each with their own version of Spidey. Each iteration of Spider-Man will need to search the fragment in their universe so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. In pretty much any other Spider-Man game from Activision, open environments were the name of the game, commonly along with a big city that has Spidey swinging around to each mission. With Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, the experience is far more linear, with game progression divided into more customary levels. Most levels take everywhere from 30-60 minutes to complete, even on hard difficulty. Overall, gameplay in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions runs at a faster pace then any of the former installments.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions begins with the customary amiable neighborhood Spider-Man, or the wonderful Spider-Man if you will. The wonderful Spider-Man is a wise cracking guy with a joyful outlook, commenting on all as he searches for the different fragments in his universe. This quantum of the game plays pretty similarly to former entries, with the customary difference being the depth of the fighting mechanics. These include both combos and varied upgrades for each of the four iterations of Spidey.
The next iteration of Spider-Man is noir. I was amazed with this universe. Noir Spidey is based in the early 1900′s and is not as strong as his wonderful universe counterpart. The player will rely mostly on stealth to unblemished the noir missions, which are someone else nice departure from more tradional Spider-Man games. Spider-Man will need to lurk in the shadows and hide on the walls in order to surprise and defeat his enemies. This all borrows heavily from Batman: Arkham Asylum, with Spider-Man performing varied takedowns when close sufficient to enemies. There are a few different takedown animations that serve to keep the mechanic nice and fresh. Noir Spider-Man sort of reminds me of Rorshach from Watchmen, which is without fail awesome.
The greatest universe has Spidey donning the symbiote suit. Spider-Man is pretty strong in this universe and has some great looking attacks. The greatest universe includes some of the best boss fights i've seen in any game over the last few years. Deadpool may or may not be involved. I really played through this universe multiple times, plainly because Deadpool's allembracing presentation was nailed to perfection and Activision did a great job of developing his personality. Deadpool fans may want to play through Shattered Dimensions plainly to see the character done right.
The final universe is 2099. I was a tiny disappointed, as in the customary 2099 series, Spider-Man had the potential to cloak. Unfortunately this is missing from Shattered Dimensions. While a minor setback for some, there are still plently of awesome attacks that 2099 Spidey can perform. This universe is extremely vertical, with plenty of free fall sequences encompassing thousands of feet. Spidey will be dodging hover cars, enemy attacks, and other obstacles as they whiz past. All in all it's pretty awesome.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is without fail good than Activision's former installments, but that isn't saying much. Within the first ten minutes of the game, while still on the training stage, the game crashed on me forcing a restart. multiple levels had enemies clipping through walls, or getting otherwise stuck in the environment. Slow frame-rates abound in any areas throughout the varied universes. Gameplay gets pretty repetitive, and after unlocking the strongest combos players will rarely use whatever else. The web-slinging mechanic is also not fully fleshed out, providing it's own host of unique glitches. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions could have been so much more, but it's nice to see a fresh take on Spidey after such a long drought.
