As I sit here blankly staring at the article submission back-end of this very website, I’m pondering a quick witted quip to start this review of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and I can’t seem to formulate anything that would make the snarky Peter Parker proud. I find myself focusing too much on my love/hate relationship that I have with the game. There are many aspects of the game that are inherently cool because you assume the role of four different web slinging super heroes while others leave you wondering what the good people over at Beenox were thinking when developing the game.
TW: “With the recent release of the sequel film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, I’ve been revisiting the astounding world of the Spider-Verse, enjoying both the prequel and the new sequel film in all their glory; and it’s led me to ask one question — why the hell isn’t there a Spider-Verse game?”
There sure was a super sweet looking cell shaded suit. Made you feel like your actually playing a comic.
It would still be sick though. And I dont mean cell shading to cut corners. It would have to be amazing like the movies themselves.
I too would like a whole game with the entire world looking like the animated movie. It could be awesome
Sometimes, companies feel they have to add a little star power to their games. So, they call in actual stars. Take a look at ten times where pulling in celebrities was a great idea.
Before Insomniac, there was Beenox; the studio reminisces on Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time, and more
"I only wish we had five years on any one of the Spider-Man games we made!"
Well, you don't have to work for Activision ya know. But yeah, they did a fair job considering the limited resources and well....Activision.
TASM2 was like the last superhero movie that had a movie tie-in game accompanying it
Game had so much potential, just didn't come together.
I am not surprised that the gave didn't live up to the hype. That said, I hear that the voice acting was pretty solid.
Meh, another super hero game biting the dust. Anyone really surprised.
I haven't been interested in any superhero game for a long time, I suppose I should play AA, but haven't been enticed enough to pick it up.
...even as a die-hard Spidey fan, I can't see myself buying it. But I have added it to my Gamefly queue.
