One of the writers of the game, Mark Hoffmeier, also worked on the well-received Spider-Man: The Animated Series on Fox Kids before working on the game. Shattered Dimensions was re-released via Steam on October 24, 2015, but was later removed on April 1, 2017. Both the game and its sequel were de-listed from the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live marketplaces in 2014 following the expiration of Activision's existing licensing deal with Marvel. However, criticism was aimed at the game's simplistic story, choice of villains, and the overall design of the cutscenes as well as its technical difficulties.Ī sequel, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, was released in October 2011, featuring only the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the concept of bringing four Marvel universes together, and lauded the voice acting, combat, presentation, humor, and score. Shattered Dimensions is the first Spider-Man game developed by Beenox after being given the license by Activision, replacing previous developer Treyarch. For example, the Spider-Man Noir levels encourage a stealth approach, while the Ultimate Spider-Man levels place emphasis on large scale combat encounters. Gameplay alternates between the four Spider-Men, who control similarly but present a different gameplay style and/or abilities.

Madame Web recruits the Amazing Spider-Man and three alternate versions of the hero- Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man 2099, and Ultimate Spider-Man-to restore balance by retrieving the tablet fragments from villains within their respective dimensions. When it is shattered into pieces during a fight between the Amazing Spider-Man and Mysterio, it causes problems with multiple realities across the Marvel Multiverse.

The game revolves around an artifact known as the Tablet of Order and Chaos. The Nintendo DS version of the game was developed by Griptonite Games and features only three Spider-Man variants. Previous Spider-Man voice actors Neil Patrick Harris, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Dan Gilvezan, and Josh Keaton each voice one of the four Spider-Men. Players control four different versions of Spider-Man, each originating from a different universe in the Marvel Comics multiverse. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a 2010 action-adventure video game based on the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man, developed by Beenox and published by Activision.
