    Some visual glitches and a few repetitive stretches made my spider sense tingle, but this is a solid outing nonetheless. [Nov 2011, p.83]

    While Spider-Man: Edge of Time is not that bad, it is a game that, unless you are experiencing moments of extreme leisure, doesn't deserve much attention.

    Spider-Man: Edge of Time for Wii offers a curious mix of good and bad: on the one hand, a well-written storyline, a great upgrade system, an excellent taste of Spider-Man's powers and a challenging gameplay; on the other, a chaotic and cumbersome control system, lots of camera problems and glitches. You can certainly come to terms with the latter and enjoy the first, but it's clear that the final result will leave a bitter aftertaste in your mouth.

    Believe me, with two young Spider-Man fanatics in the house, nothing would please me more than to announce that Spider-Man: Edge of Time is the Arkham Asylum (now Arkham City) that all Spidey fans have been waiting for. That it is not – but it does show signs of life in terms of the scripting and storyline presentation.

    Ultimately disappoints. It's a step down from Shattered Dimensions, offering a less interesting plot, fewer Spider-Men to play as, and less fan service. As a finished product it just feels rushed.

    Good times are buried within Edge of Time but it feels a bit too rushed and incomplete to swing through with a smile. Beenox has proved it has the chops so hopefully Edge of Time is a mere sophomore slump rather than indicative of Spidey's future - otherwise we're going to need one of those time portals.

    Despite the good story, the well done graphics and the entertaining sounds, Spider-Man: Edge of Time lacks in gripping gameplay and action. Once more boredom prevails.

    The boring combat and daft plot mean you're unlikely to keep playing. [Christmas 2011, p.103]

    Spider-Man: Edge of Time - це продовження, яке вийшло неоднозначним. Геймплей повністю взятий з попередньої частини, а саме ShatteredSpider-Man: Edge of Time - це продовження, яке вийшло неоднозначним. Геймплей повністю взятий з попередньої частини, а саме Shattered Dimensions але при цьому Beenox умудрилася вирізати половину прийомів з бойової системи, а також обмежилася однією локацією на всю гру.
    Дана версія зроблена добре, повноцінний порт з більш потужніших консолей але з урізаною графікою. Нажаль гра не використовує всі можливості пульта Wii і це засмучує. Сюжет цікавий але характери героїв Мігеля та Пітера інколи просто підбішують.
    Саундтрек в грі просто неймовірний але є і мінуси як наприклад баги або надокучливі місії, які дуже зайві та інтегровані в гру погано.
    На мій погляд це хороша гра але на один раз, реіграбільність нажаль дуже низька.    … Full Review »
