    If you just enjoy good adventure games with a heavy dose of action, then be sure to give Shattered Dimensions a look.

    If you're looking for a Wii title that is a break from the Mario's and more casual titles that are common on the system, I would suggest giving Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions a spin.

    A must-play for fans of the ol' webslinger. [Nov 2010, p.90]

    Overall Spider Man: Dimensions is a pretty cool game for Nintendo's Wii. Even if the bad control lowers the score, the entertaining HQ videos and the cool graphics convince.
  5. If you're a Spider-Man fan, this is completely essential. If not, it's still worth a look if you want a fun action-adventure game.

    While there are some things lacking about the game (specifically anything Wii-centric), Shattered Dimensions is a very fun, worthwhile Spider-Man game that genuinely feels different and engaging.

    Shattered Dimensions is a good time from start to finish. Fans of Spiderman will not be disappointed with its four universes and great action and pace.

    But the good outweighs the bad. Spidey fans should definitely pick this one up.

    Even though it can be a bumpy ride, Shattered Dimensions is a game you shouldn't pass up.

    A few technical missteps and eventual sense of the game retreading itself keep it from standing as a must-have, but anyone with a passing interest in these spin-off universes, or just Spidey himself, would do well to check it out.

    Shattered Dimensions is the best Spider-Man game in years, even though it's not the master piece Batman: Arkham Asylum is.

    The control and QA problems are unfortunate, really, because this is easily the best Spider-Man game in nearly every other respect.

    GRAPHICS- The different looks for each Spider-Man were enjoyable (especially Noir). Overall crisp and clean graphics. 8/10 ADVENTURE- TheGRAPHICS- The different looks for each Spider-Man were enjoyable (especially Noir). Overall crisp and clean graphics. 8/10 ADVENTURE- The different play styles keep everything feeling fresh and fun (especially Noir). Minus a few hickups the flow of the action was good, if slightly repetitive, and the story was pure comic book awesome. 9/10 MECHANICS- Surprisingly good for the most part. There were a few minor problems with motion controls and the camera was a bit crazy at times. The detriment of some sloppy controls was nearly balanced by the nerd joy of waving your hand to shoot webbing. 7/10 EXTRAS- It was ambitious to have, essentially, four games in one and worked very well but the game felt too short. The voice acting was top notch, though a bit repetitive (I'm looking at you Ultimate Spider-Man). 8/10 For normal, well adjusted, members of society this game is worth renting just to experience the different styles (especially Noir) and it is a comic geek must own title. This game was very nearly a masterpiece of comic book hero greatness but needed less repetition and a bit more polish. 8/10. Full Review »

    An absolute blast...though for a very short period of time. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is one of the best Spider-Man games I haveAn absolute blast...though for a very short period of time. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is one of the best Spider-Man games I have personally played. The combat, the missions, the bosses, the abilities...it's everything that a Spider-Man game should have. You may be asking why I have given it only seven out of ten...well the problem lies generally with the overall length of the game--it's extremely short and doesn't offer much other than a ranking system and collectables. The game focuses on different variations of Spider-Man and each one having a sort of gimmick to the game-play on offer. The gimmicks allow for a large variety in the game-play and causes the game to never become boring. The art-style changes completely for each variation of Spider-Man you play...sort of making it feel as if you're playing a completely new game whilst playing with a new Spider-Man. I would have given this game an easy ten out of ten if it were at least five hours longer not including extras and collectables. A shame that it ended up being so short. Full Review »
