It's been a while...
This is my first post after a long absence from participating in the Giant Bomb Community.... WOOT!!!
I don't know what you guys think, but I feel like Ulysses S. Pipe (Jeff G.) was a little harsh on the new Spider Man game... I think it's a good game , specially when you consider that the only other choice on my consoles was Madden and Hawx2... Spider Man Shattered Dimensions is definitely the most fun I've had with a spider man title in YEARS.... Yes, I think that they rip off Arkham Asylum a little bit, but who cares! It's fun!.... The thing is, you have to LIKE Comic Book Superheroes in general, and Spider Man specifically, none of which fall into Jeff's personal taste... Oh well....
To each his own, but until more games come out on October, it's Spider Man & Halo Reach for me!
EXCELSIOR!!
Jeff was hard on Spidey...

A few questions:
- Why are the only other choices on your consoles Madden or Hawx2?
- Why should this even have an impact on judging this game's quality?
- What does Shattered Dimensions have in common with Batman:AA apart from featuring superheros?
- Are you saying that comic fans are content with low quality games just because they feature comic characters?
"- What does Shattered Dimensions have in common with Batman:AA apart from featuring superheros? -I think he was referring to the gameplay of Noir Spidey.

Jeff wasn't harsh enough, that game was painfully bad. Even Noir, the best sections, were too repetitive. Hopefully Marvel learns the right things from this, makes a full Spiderman Noir game and fleshes out that part more.

" If you like it, play it. Fuck what Jeff thinks of it. "But this applies too. You enjoying the game is whats important. Personally I don't think much of it but eh.
Been playing through with a friend. While I admit the game play gets a little old. I like just seeing the different takes on all the Spider man villains and the boss fights are fun. Now I'm not saying its the next Arkham Asylum, but it's decent.
Edit: My bad.

It wasn't bad on the general consensus
When I played it I loved it but I didn't run into any of the glitches that Jeff did.
It was his view and if I was him I'd say fuck that game too. But I am not him so I loved it.
Definitely not as good as Arkham though.

- Why are the only other choices on your consoles Madden or Hawx2?
Because those are new, and so, If I wanna play anything NEW, those are the ones I would play...
- Why should this even have an impact on judging this game's quality?
Because everything in life is relative and contextual. If there's a crappy gaming season, a so-so game would shine brighter... And if there's a lot of great games, a good title might get overlooked...
- What does Shattered Dimensions have in common with Batman:AA apart from featuring superheros?
A couple of mechanics here and there... (taking down foes while hanging on a ledge, some of the combat... It's subtle but it's there...)
- Are you saying that comic fans are content with low quality games just because they feature comic characters?
No, I'm saying that Comic Book fans (like me) might enjoy ANY game featuring spider man that does not seriously suck...

Why can't Jeff have his own opinion?
The game doesn't look very engaging. It's just a brawler. Seen it a million times. And I'm not a fan of Doogie Howser or whatever the guy's name is. And all those 1 liners Jeff was talking about seem like they could get old really fast.

I love Bebop though. That's the only place I'm not sick of him.

In my defense when he laughs he sounds alot like the joker.
" @CptBedlam:
Because those are new, and so, If I wanna play anything NEW, those are the ones I would play...
-- There are numerous other great games out now (Halo Reach, Dead Rising 2, Civ 5 etc.) and in just a few days the next wave of games starts with Castlevania Lords of Shadow. Instead of playing a mediocre game now I'd rather buy one of these, a recent great game or wait a few days for a great game.
Because everything in life is relative and contextual. If there's a crappy gaming season, a so-so game would shine brighter... And if there's a lot of great games, a good title might get overlooked...
-- It's still a mediocre game though and other game's being worse won't increase the fun you'd have with this game
A couple of mechanics here and there... (taking down foes while hanging on a ledge, some of the combat... It's subtle but it's there...)
-- So a handful of combat moves. Not much.

-- So it's basically a "yes".
" @SethPhotopoulos: A 70-80 average review score means it's an atrocious game according to people these days. "Like to most people in this thread?
