Some reviewers felt the game was too short, and that not enough emphasis was put on exploring the open world.

Other cast members include David Kaye as Mysterio, Susanne Blakeslee as Madame Web, Dimitri Diatchenko as Sandman, and Matt Willig as Juggernaut.The Amazing Spider-Man finds another fragment at an abandoned Roxxon Industries quarry, but it is stolen by Sandman, who uses it to increase his powers and take over the quarry. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was unveiled on March 30, 2010, where two of the universes, Amazing and Noir, were revealed. For example, the Spider-Man Noir levels require players to hide in the shadows and take down enemies stealthily, while Spider-Man 2099 features unique free falling segments. Spider-Man Noir faces Osborn for his final fragment, which the latter used to mutate himself into a goblin-like creature and take over a carnival.

A sequel, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, was released in October 2011, featuring only the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. Despite the film borrowing no inspiration from Shattered Dimensions itself, all four playable Spider-Men from the game appear in Into the Spider-Verse, in varying capacities.

GamePro gave the Xbox 360 version four and a half out of five stars and said, " thankfully, [Spider-Man's] latest adventure, Shattered Dimensions, is one of his best yet, offering four unique worlds, classic Spidey action, and an engaging story that puts it near the top of the franchise both in terms of quality and impact".

IGN gave the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions eight out of ten and said, " Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions has a lot of great things going for it", [43] but scored the Wii version half a point lower despite being nearly identical to these two versions due to that version lacking a button to center the camera. Spider-Man 2099 is attacked by the Hobgoblin, an cyborg mercenary who uses his fragment to increase his psy-powers and create illusions to torment the hero. John DiMaggio (who has also voiced The Rhino multiple times) reprises his role as Hammerhead from The Spectacular Spider-Man.Development and marketing [ edit ] Beenox developed several alternate costumes for the game, including Manga Spider-Man (above).
