Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a video game featuring Comics hero Spider-Man. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions blends together four universes from the Marvel Comics multiverse, allowing the player to play as four different Spider-Men. Known Spider-Man voice actors Neil Patrick Harris, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Dan Gil...vezan, and Josh Keaton voice a Spider-Man from each of their respective alternate universes.
The game revolves around an artifact known as the Tablet of Order and Chaos. When it is shattered into pieces during a skirmish between Spider-Man and Mysterio, it causes problems with multiple Marvel Universe realities. Madame Web calls on four versions of Spider-Man from four realities to assist her in bringing the realities back into balance: the Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man 2099, and Ultimate Spider-Man.
Although this game is available on multiple platforms, I played it on the PlayStation 3 (PS3).
Graphically the game was pretty well done. The cell shading graphics gave it that comic book/cartoon look that I prefer for a Spider-Man entry. The sound and voice acting were really well done too, with our hero dropping as many smart alec one liners as he can to give a good chuckle now and then.
The story was OK but not really engaging, and some of the levels seemed more like drawn out boss battles.
Another disappointment was no free roaming exploration of any version of New York, the game is very linear, which, to me, is a down fall for a Spidey game.

The plus side the character advancement is decent and with each version of Spidey you play the game play is slightly different. The bosses are cool and two of them include two of my favorites, Deadpool and Carnage. Yes that is correct Deadpool is in this game!
Overall the game is fun and a recommended rental or borrow, but not a must own. 6.5 out of 10 stars
