When Spiderman (the game based on the movie) was released in 2001, it was surprisingly well received. We’re used to comic games delivering a decent multiplayer experience, but Spiderman actually stood its own as a solid, single player action game. Fast forward nine years and Quebecois developer Beenox is trying to achieve even greater success with Shattered Dimensions. If I followed the many Spiderman comics at all, I might be able to tell you if this game will be every Spiderman fanatic’s wildest dream – as it stands, however, I can only tell you that it’s fun.
Shattered Dimensions is four different games rolled into one. When you’re playing at the film noir stealth-action suit Spiderman, the game feels like Batman: Arkham Asylum. When you play as the Venom suit Spiderman, the game feels more like Devil May Cry. Although there is nothing else innovative in the game, everything from those different genres of games seem to be implemented. The Spidey Sense works like thermal vision from Splinter Cell. There are different emblems to collect, abilities to upgrade, storylines to follow, and it felt fun without being too shallow, even if you get the impression that you’ve seen it all before. This game looks like it is a must try for Spiderman fans.
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions releases for the PS3, Wii, X360, and DS on September 7th, 2010, with a PC release date still to be announced.

This is awesome. The only way it would be more awesome is if Humphrey Bogart narrated the Noir part.
Or Max Payne.

Sadly I looked down on the delict…sadness below me.
My wife is dead.
I swung and kicked a dude in the face.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY THE WRITERS WERE ON SOMETHING.
