This is just too much of the same thing, and what’s there isn’t executed as well as it could be. There was a sense of sameness in Shattered Dimensions as well, but at least that gave you one distinct play style since the Noir version played so differently. Jump around, beat an enemy, maybe break up the monotony with a crawl up an air vent, or a freefrall, and then do it all over again. The game goes from thrilling to mundane very quickly, and sadly, both the Amazing and 2099 Spideys play pretty much the same, with some minor variance in combat and bigger differences in set pieces for them, but their usual gameplay is the same. You go from this kind of excitement to crawling through vents, beating up baddies to get keys, going through doors…to fight more baddies and open more doors, sometimes with a time limit. There’s even a gorgeous playable opening credit sequence with some amazing camera angles… and then things just kind of die down. It’s all so exciting, and I like only getting small pieces of the storyline because it makes you interested in what’s going on instantly. I had hopes that Edge of Time would fix some issues, and thought that only putting the Amazing and 2099 versions in the game would help by streamlining things.Įdge of Time starts off absolutely perfectly - right in the middle of modern-day Spidey versus a giant roided-up Anti-Venom who kills Peter Parker, but the 2099 incarnation sees this and does whatever he can to prevent Parker’s death while also preventing the head of an evil corporation from taking over his world. However, it suffered from being very derivative, having a terrible camera, and not really mixing things up a lot since three of the Spideys all played basically the same. Last year’s Shattered Dimensions was a Spider-Man fan boy’s dream game in a way because it had four different incarnations of the character to play as - and more skins for them.
