Loved it!

"Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" is a very enjoyable game. In it, you get to play as four different versions of the Spider-Man character: The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099.

If you're worried each Spider-Man will play the same, only look different, don't be! They each have their own unique fighting style and environment.

The voice acting is incredible! Each Spider-Man is voiced by an actor who has previously portrayed Spidey in his different animated series. Neil Patrick Harris ("Spider-Man: The New Animated Series") provides the voice for The Amazing Spider-Man, Christopher Daniel Barnes ("Spider-Man: The Animated Series) provides the voice for Spider-Man Noir, Josh Keaton ("The Spectacular Spider-Man") provides the voice for Ultimate Spider-Man, and Dan Gilvezan ("Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends") provides the voice for Spider-Man 2099. Listen for Stan "The Man" Lee, creator of many of Marvel Comics most beloved characters to provide the opening voice-over narration, too! I think this was an especially nice touch as it lends a real feeling of authenticity to the game.

There is plenty of action, a great story, a numerous amount of famous Spidey villains across four different dimensions to keep you busy, all in all, it was a great pleasure to play this game.

I definitely recommend getting a hold of it. I know I had a whole lot of fun playing it. At first, I was bummed "Shattered Dimensions" utilized a level setup instead of an "open world", but I think they did a nice job of making each Spider-Man's levels different that the game never felt monotonous. I wish I could say the same for "Spider-Man: Edge of Time", Beenox's latest Spidey offering. Hopefully, they'll get their act together and produce another quality game like "Shattered Dimensions", and I'd like to see the open world format reintroduced next time. That'd be cool!
