Zero Punctuation: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

[fenrizz]

One of the few times I've ever commented on a ZP video, just to say that
"... this game sounded spread so thin, that if it had arrived on a sandwich it would essentially be bread."Is one of the best lines from him in a while.
I heard it, paused for a second, and then burst into laughter. I'm not even sure why it's so funny to me, but still.

I laughed at the little annoying fat kid

While I entirely agree with all the criticisms proposed in Yahtzee's review, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed renting Shattered Dimensions, and while the thought of shelling out $60 to keep it for a month and then return it doesn't sit well with me, I felt the $10 I spent at Blockbuster was well worth the game. If the developer had been given a bit more time, I would've liked to see a lot of the bugs and wonky controls ironed out, and, as Yahtzee said, the story was spread too thin. Perhaps Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions 2: Oh Shi- will be much better.

An average game, a not-so-bad Spiderman game, and if SD2 is better, it has the potential to beating out even the beautiful Spiderman 2.

I will take your review as I always do, Yahtzee, as a nit-picking tirade focused on comedic value. Your points are all entirely valid, but I feel anyone who dares take your review as the Word of God and decides whether or not to pick up a game based solely on it is a moron and clearly can not tell the difference between comedic and serious.

When I think of merchandise pandering, I think of Marvel.

Also thanks for making me relive it...

"Proportionally, spiders are actually slow, lumbering creatures." And they say you don't learn anything useful on the internet.

ooooh man I love this shit
Yahtzee you're a genius.

"That's not my spyder sense tingling !" <Made me laugh so hard ,haha

Spiderman doesn't produce web, he has canisters, apart from in the films (based on the fox kids cartoon so I could be wrong).

 

[Waif]

Not too sure what I think about Spiderman these days. Perhaps it will be an interesting game all the same. I am unsure if I should pick up a game like this on sale.

 

[Right Hook]

Spider-Man doesn't create his webs naturally in the comics Yahtzee! Just the movie one urrrghhhlll.... web cartridges that he switches out and runs out of ALL THE TIME.

Shattered Dimensions? more like shattered game play. This is not what a Spider-Man game should be, go to point A, beat up villain, go to point B etc rinse wash and repeat. You should not be restricted to a closed off area and forced to play a stereotypical mediocre linear beat em up. We want to feel like spider man, we want the freedom to swing around and approach a fight from 50 feet up and web sling a cat in to a granny's face(well maybe not that). This game is a lazy and sure fire way to get cash from comic book fans who think it's cool when a slightly different variation of one character interacts with the other and blah de blah. It really is just a cash in on fan nostalgia which Nintendo seem to have been doing for the last 10 years. Spider man games should be about freedom, you want the ability to jump of the highest building in the game like a pillock why? because you are Spider-Man and you can and you see it as pay back because you subjected yourself to the clone saga.
