Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is just less than a week away now, so it's time to look at the final of the four revealed dimension experiences. Ultimate Spider-Man enjoyed a popular run of comics from the year 2001 onwards, and while the comic has for the most part come to an end, its success is still widely-known. There was even a great PS2 game based around the saga, which got an 8/10 here. So the return of this reborn hero is easily welcome to fans including myself. Fans were wondering given his similarities to Amazing Spider-Man whether the two dimensions would be different at all bar graphical style, so thank goodness Beenox pulled out a wild card and put Ultimate Spidey into the previously little-used (in the comic) black Venom suit. The costume gives our iconic hero tentacles with which to cause havoc, so predictably the bosses here are some of Spidey's toughest ever and whole armies of enemies will be dispatched to fight our dark hero. While it doesn't look to be as different as, say, 2099 or Noir, Ultimate will provide a unique Spider-Man experience, and we obviously want some familiarity at times anyway. Will Shattered Dimensions live up to fans' (including my own) high expectations? Expect impressions on Friday, September 10th, then the full review on Sunday September 12th, plus a wholesome review of Halo: Reach the next week!
