    This is a great pick up for your Nintendo DS, regardless if you liked or disliked the console version.

    Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a fun, but somewhat flawed game.

    Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a very competent platformer for the DS.

    Despite being predictable as hell, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions for the DS features slick looking visuals, fantastic voice work and enjoyable 2D side scrolling gameplay.

    All in all, the latest adventures of Spider-Man can be recommended to everyone. The great combination of exploration and fighting is brilliant, and also the atmosphere, the sound and the graphical effects are really convincing. The only disadvantage of the game is the missing multiplayer mode and the annoying mini game.

    In its Nintendo DS version, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions confirms the good idea of taking three different Spider-Man, each with unique powers, and put them into the same game. Packed with nice graphics and sounds, Griptonite Games' last effort comes as a very good action game for all the Spidey fans out there.

    Shattered Dimensions is not the greatest Spiderman game of all time, but it absolutely ranks among the best on a handheld unit.

    A rare gem amongst multi-platform DS games.

    Overall, the game is very short. It's feasible to finish the game with close to 100 percent on your first playthrough in five hours or less.

    The slick production values jazz up the game, and the Metroidvania exploration works on a basic level. Spidey fails to sling off the ground because of repetitive combat and a lack of variety. The world feels a bit lifeless.

    It's a satisfying experience for younger fans, and fills a quota for comic-reading gamers.

    Probably my all time favourite spider man game in my opinion. Good fighting, good story, and somewhat creative.
