E3 Screens: Spiderman Shattered Dimensions

Posted by Ashtyn | June 16, 2010  |  No Comment

We’re back with more screenshot exclusives from E3. This time around we’re going to be looking at Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions for the Nintendo DS/DSi/DSi XL.

This is what Activision tells us:

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a thrilling action-packed adventure set in four dramatically different universes from legendary Spider-Man lore, each with a distinct Spider-Man armed with unique skills and strengths, in one original storyline. Players will be transported to new locations never before seen in a Spider-Man game, from lush jungles and dusty deserts to various urban terrains. Acclaimed comic book writer Dan Slott takes players on a mission to contain the magical energy of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been shattered and sent hurtling across parallel universes, and battle fan-favorite villains in a quest to restore the fabric of reality.

For a DS game, these graphics look pretty promising. I always lean towards favoring the bigger consoles because games, in general, (when done right) look better on bigger screens. There are a few DS games I have fun with, but I don’t have the intense interest that I do with my consoles.

The Black and White images really give the game a graphic novel, art kind of feel that adds something to the game. These were the first images I viewed for Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions and they are the ones that got me at least semi-interested in learning more. The color images are so strong in the color department that it offers this explosive contrast. It will be interesting to see how the dark and vibrant converge in the game play environment.

Overall, Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions looks like it will fill a need for those that love the DS action/super hero style games. Activision has done a nice job making sure that the graphics speak for themselves. I am not going to say this is my favorite of the DS games I am seeing, but it’s certainly not my least favorite…at least not yet.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.
