Spider-man Shattered Dimensions

Finally it's here! But was the wait worth it?
Lets find out True Believers!!

Plot:
This is a very comic bookie plot.
After shattering the tablet of order and chaos, 4 Spiderman are sent to Find the pieces. But mysterio Wants those pieces two as he can now use real magic powers not special effects.
Noir, 2099, ultimate, and amazing all band together to save there universes before the tablet destroys them all.
Mysterio seems to be the main bad guy a lot.
The plot sounds good. but there isn't much two it. Not good, but not bad either.

Gameplay:
Well it's actually very good. Combos are easy to pull off, and levels are awesome. The wall crawling isn't good. but everything else is great, not to mention awesome unlocks like costumes and concept art.
Levels could be better. They are a great but....they repeat.
Do some stuff, fight boss, do more stuff, fight boss, boss uses tablet becomes more powerful, fight him you win. Only the final level gets rid of this.
Boss fights are cool though.
Each spidey plays differently but it is amazing how they got each one so right.
Amazing: he uses web attacks and is the most well rounded. awesome quips and satisfying combat.
Ultimate uses Attacks that slaughter enemies. He has rage mode and over cool abilities.
2099: has a special ability to slow down time and make combat easier and to dodge incoming weapons. He also has some awesome free fall sections.
Noir: uses stealth and can stay stealthy in the shadows.

there are also some awesome first person sections. they show points of interest and also allow you to smack them up good. but they can be difficult to get a hand of.
unfortunately the targeting is that good in this. If you want to throw a barrel or web zip to an enemy be prepared for the game to get confused and the complete opposite.

predictable levels don't ruin this. but the targeting can be annoying.
awesome game play saves this tough. just.

Graphics:
All 4 spider-men have different gameplay mechanics but also have different looking levels:
Amazing: looks like an old comic book, as a similarity to borderlands only there is this grainy texture.
Ultimate: has a colourful and cartoonish look to his universe.
Noir: has an old 40s film look to it complete with very few colours, and a grainy texture.
2099: has the most realistic looking of the bunch, but with colder colours.
Overall the graphics in these universes are amazing and I like every one of them. but there are some problems. Wall crawling is horrible, but it is even more horrible when the game doesn't tell you what you can crawl on. I spent ages on noirs levels trying to crawl some walls and found out that building wall wasn't supposed to be crawled on. Also characters hands can sometimes get stuck in objects. Just play the sandman level and you will see.

Music:
only a few songs from the 2099 campaign are memorable. But that doesn't mean it is bad music.

voice acting & sound effects
First voice acting
Amazing: Neil Patrik Harris. New animated series. CGI series.
Noir: Animated series.
Ultimate: Josh Keaton. Spectacular spider-man.
2099: Dan Gilvezan .Spider-man and his amazing Friends.
They all did the voice of spidey in these respected TV shows. When they return there voices scream spider man. other voice actors come to take the turn at famous characters like kraven. All in all this acting is amazing.
The sound effects are also quit brilliant with some returning from web of shadows.
all in all, magical.

4+5=9

If there had been more polish this would have been a better game. But I forgive beebox. They have done what arkham did. Take the characters strength and put them in a video game. Well done beebox. Is there going to be a sequel?
GOLD!!
