    It's a real bummer that things fall apart in the heat of the action due to visual blips, game-freezing bugs, and audio pops. [Nov 2011, p.83]

    Monotonous gameplay, poor level design and Spidey not quite doing his thing. True Spidey fans should really skip this game and wait for a better one to feature their favourite hero.

    It's a step down from Shattered Dimensions, offering a less interesting plot, fewer Spider-Men to play as, and less fan service. As a finished product it just feels rushed.

    Good times are buried within Edge of Time but it feels a bit too rushed and incomplete to swing through with a smile, and the 3DS version's technical deficiencies don't help unearthing the fun at all.

    Edge of Time is all around an extremely mediocre brawler.

    Had it debuted several years ago, Spider-Man: Edge of Time may have received praise despite its many flaws. Sadly, its shortcomings are unacceptable today, making it yet another casualty in the ongoing terrible comic book video game saga.

    Quite likely the worst Spider-Man game Activision has published, falling short of even the lackluster Spider-Man 3 and Friend or Foe games. It's boring, repetitive, and indistinct.
