Web of Talent Joins Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

07/26/2010 Written by Thomas Williams

Up until last year when Batman: Arkham Asylum surprised that gaming world with its awesomeness, comic book licensed games, for the most part, flat out sucked. Don’t believe me? Go and play either Iron Man 1 or 2, then come back and tell me what you think. Arkham Asylum is one of the few games that got it right. Developers Beenox and Publisher Activision look to continue this trend this Fall with Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on the PS3. Featuring four different Spider-Man realities, fans of the ole’ web-slinger will be able to fulfill their Spider-fantasies until the year 2099 rolls around (Yep! Spider-Man 2099 is in it!!). Activision announced the voice talent for the game and fans of the past animated shows will be most pleased and just wait until you who the narrator is! One hint: EXCELSIOR!!

I’ll go ahead and get the biggest surprise out of the way: Stan ‘Hey, I created almost all of the best characters at Marvel’ Lee will be narrating the games storyline! How sweet is that!?! Then, Mr. Doogie Howser himself, Neil Patrick Harris, will lead the way voicing ’616′ Amazing Spider-Man, Josh Keaton will be Ultimate Spider-Man, Christopher Daniel Barnes will be Noir Spidey, and Dan Gilvezan will play Spider-Man 2099.

The best part? Everyone of the actors voicing Spider-man did so during one of the several Spider-Man shows over the years. Will this please fans of the those series? Yes! Will it improve the overall quality of the title? That remains to be seen.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions swings into stores this September 7th. Will all of our Spidey fans here at PlayStation LifeStyle be giving this game a chance or are you going to leave poor Spidey hanging?

    hello …

    i’m really a big fan of the spidey, but i’ve bought ONLY Spiderman 1 on PC & others just tried some demos or watched the movies (for all that came after).

    Spiderman The Movie wasn’t bad, but lack something that didn’t get me far, so i gave up on it.

    Shattered Dimension looks promising & i really hope it goes the way of Batman AA, i won’t be pre-ordering the game, will wait for demos & reviews, but the concept already got me hyped about it.

    as long as not a movie tie-in, we can have some hope.

    cheers!

  2. Don’t forget he almost bankrupt Marvel too! as for the game I don’t expect it to be of quality, just another spidey game of dull

  3. oh god forbid the father of true comics had trouble like all other comic company folk….
    kids…

    You’re an idiot. Marvel DID file for Chapter 11 bankrupcy in the 90′s. However, it had NOTHING to do with Stan Lee.

    Marvel(and DC) were at low points in the industry, and comics in general, were on life support. DC would’ve done the same had they not have been a subsidiary of Warner Bros.

    Now, the comic industry is quite healthy.

    Nice throw back to Stan Lee’s trademark, Thomas! haha

    Im getting this. I’ve already been sold, and trust me, Im very frigin skeptic when it comes to comic games. I love what they’re doing with this.

  6. if I recall it was Marvels idea to invest into comics just like having someones rookie baseball card. or one of the old comics worth money and it was a poor decision. And can someone tell me who gets blame, the leader the CEO the president just like everyone is always sh!tting on the guy from Activision. Stan Lee lead them in that direction. Marvel Fans will defend this with every little whimper they have. You want his highs listed but not his lows talk about being bias. I know the Comic Industry had many problems but theirs came with a very poor decision on top of a bad time in comics. ‘For someone who wants the Fame, you must also take the Blame’

  7. wow i never seen someone be wrong twice and keep stepping in it.

  8. @Ronai … just another person who leaves comments saying someone is wrong but can’t defend anything they believe by backing up with details. pathetic. next time you comment leave something of value
