Product Information

Though he does not normally have a spider-sense like Peter Parker, Madame Web temporarily gives him a form of it so he can track down the tablet fragments. While most of the action is played with pad and button controls, the touchscreen is used to play a mini-game in between levels to help Spider-Man use the Tablet to travel between dimensions. Hold the C Button and shake the Nunchuk or hold the A Button and shake the Wii Remote for a l]eft/[r]ight hook. The game features numerous supervillains from classic Spider-Man comics as bosses; some of the villains are created exclusively for the game, such as the 2099 versions of Hobgoblin and Doctor Octopus, and the Noir version of Hammerhead. This version of Spider-Man has a darker personality and a more brutal fighting style, with a greater emphasis on stealth.

Hold the Z Button and shake the Nunchuk or hold the B Button and shake the Wii Remote for a l]eft/[r]ight overhand punch. Over the course of his involvement in the story, he is forced to face off against Noir versions of Hammerhead, Vulture, and Norman "The Goblin" Osborn before joining the other Spider-Men to battle Mysterio. Spider-Man Noir pursues Hammerhead, who is driven mad with power after using a fragment he had found to fuse his arms with his guns and plots to overthrow his boss, Norman "The Goblin" Osborn.

Shattered Dimensions is the first Spider-Man game developed by Beenox after being given the license by Activision, replacing previous developer Treyarch.

John DiMaggio (who has also voiced The Rhino multiple times) reprises his role as Hammerhead from The Spectacular Spider-Man.The Ultimate Spider-Man battles Electro to prevent him from destroying a hydro-electric dam, where the latter uses his fragment to grow larger and more powerful as he absorbs more energy. 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. The Amazing Spider-Man finds his final fragment at a construction yard, but is forced to intervene in Silver Sable and the Wild Pack's chase of the Juggernaut after the latter unknowingly picks it up. An alternate version of Peter Parker from a dimension referred to as the " Noir Universe", set in the 1930s.
