I know these days the concept of a Spider-Verse is well in the mainstream, but over a decade ago, that was hardly the case, with the idea of a superheroic multiverse being left only to one TV episode, and in our case, one video game. Spider-Man Shattered dimensions came out at a time when Spider-Man games were becoming increasingly synonymous with open worlds, because the way the character moves is one of his most defining traits. Since Spider-Man 2, every Spider-Man game aside from the mediocre friend or foe has been open world. So imagine the surprise when Shattered Dimensions was a linear, combat focused game. Even conceptually, if you were to tell me you’re making a spider-man game with minimised traversal and no open world, I’d call you crazy. Welp, as is often the case, I was dead wrong, because in spite of what you might think, this game kicks an unbelievable amount of ass.

On an otherwise normal night, Mysterio breaks into a museum to steal the tablet of order and chaos. A tablet with the ability to warp both time and space. Why is it in a random museum? Who gives a. When Spider-Man swoops in to save the day, the tablet gets broken, causing its pieces to be shattered across different dimensions, all home to different spider-men. With the help of Madam Web, the 4 Spider-Men are able to band together to get the pieces from a slew of villains, and restore order to the dimensions. You’ll notice the phrase dimension being used interchangeably with multiverse, spider-verse, or just universe, and it’s because as far as Marvel is concerned, that is what dimension means. The four Spider-Men are Amazing, Noir, 2099, and Ultimate, who offer their own playstyles, enemies, and art styles across 14 different levels. The game succeeds at a lot, fails at a little, and overall, I recommend you buy it. Of course, as always it’s not available for purchase directly from Activision so you’ll need to find a used copy or perhaps sail the high seas.

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions 14 years later, is still good. It's not surprising. Many consider Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions to be one of the better Spider-Man games. This Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions review will try to analyse why it was so well received, and what we can learn from it today. This shorter Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions critique is a broad Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions retrospective within the larger Spider-Man game retrospective we've been doing over the last few years. I hope we one day get a Shattered Dimensions remaster, or even a Shattered Dimensions remake. It would be even better if we got it bundled with Spider-Man Edge of Time. With the popularity of the Spider-verse these days, releasing the first Spider-Verse, featuring Spider-Man Noir, Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, and Ultimate Spider-Man seems like a good idea.
