"Spider-man has had his fair share of video games of the past couple years. While each game (has turned out) pretty successfully, no game has managed to capture the depth and variety that the multiple Spider-man universes have to offer. That’s all about to change with Shattered Dimensions, as this title hopes to capture a variety of different Spider-man universes while remaining true to its roots.
