    Whether you're a die-hard Spidey fan or just looking for the next great action-fighting game, Edge of Time excels in every aspect of game design with solid combat, fun navigational puzzles, and one of the best cinematic presentations of any Spider-Man game to date.

    The combat is fluid, tight, rewarding, and entertaining. The only issue I found was having the exact ability to target specific enemies within as group on the fly for either a web ball for distraction or a web assault, and it would sometimes hit the wrong target and potentially ruin combos.

    I had high hopes with Spider-Man: Edge of Time after last year's Shattered Dimensions. I thought that having two Spider-Man characters instead of four would bring about a more cohesive story and more refined gameplay. While the story was tighter and the effects of making changes in one universe to affect the other were interesting, the gameplay didn't grab me as much as I thought it would.

    Boring environments, repetitive gameplay and poor combat mean this is considerably worse than its predecessor. [Christmas 2011, p.105]

  1. In the moment you press start you can't stop, nice story line,combat and upgrades. a little repetitive but is amazing game.best presentation of Spiderman yet and the challenge of the web is very cool. Expand
  2. I really enjoyed this game, I wasn't really expecting to because of the bad reviews, but I found the fighting fun so I didn't really get bored of it, and the story just made me want to carry on, it's very well written and it's fun to hear the two spider-men talking to each other Expand
  3. I really enjoyed playing this game. It's definitely not a complicated game, mostly a beat-em up type of spider-man, but fun none-the-less. The cut scenes are very pretty, but the in game graphics are kinda of bland---but not bad by any means. I would recommend picking this game when it makes a price drop to about 30 bucks. At the bare bones of it all, the game is definitely just a fun game to play. Expand
  4. Everthing good in shattered dimensions got screwed up in this one, the graphics are good, but there's no difference in the scenarys at all, shattered dimensions just did much better. Expand
