For the majority of the game, you feel like you can move around with the freedom and speed of Spider-Man. Most areas are littered with well-marked locations that you can quickly zip to, and most spaces allow you to webswing whenever you want, regardless of whether or not you are surrounded by tall buildings. You run and jump with an enjoyable sense of agility and make frequent use of your webzipping and webswinging abilities. When it comes to letting you do the things that a spider can, Shattered Dimensions does an impressive job.

Her disembodied voice gives our heroes plenty of opportunities to make wisecracks (not that they need any encouragement), and each Spidey has a distinct personality that helps each dimension feel unique. As the walls of reality begin to crumble, Spider-Men across the four different dimensions must hunt down the shards of the artifact under the guidance of the mysterious Madame Web. The story begins with a powerful magical artifact being shattered. Now Playing: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Video Review By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
