![]() That's not to say that there are no redeeming qualities, however, with the game's huge open world arguably offering a slightly nicer sandbox in which spidey enthusiasts can play. Much like the movie on which it was based, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed even to live up to the low standards set by its predecessor, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game both rocking sub-50 scores on Metacritic. PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS, PC & Mobile With Marvel's Spider-Man now available to PC players, what better time to take a look back at some of the best Spider-Man games ever made? 20 Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem ![]() Not all of them have been perfect, but most are at the very least able to offer something unique, which is quite the achievement given just how many Spider-Man games there have been over the years. The wall-crawling webhead's ability to swing through the air and excellent combat skills arguably make him the ultimate playable character, which, in turn, has led to some truly fantastic video games. Updated August 12, 2022, by Tom Bowen: When it comes to superheroes, few are as better suited to video game adaptations as Marvel's Spider-Man. It's not always Peter though, with other versions of the hero like Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2099, and Spider-Man Noir also appearing in several of the best Spiderman games. Whether web-swinging his way through a lifelike rendition of New York or going toe to toe with some of the many iconic Spider-Man villains in a side-scrolling beat 'em up adventure, Peter Parker's alter ego usually does so with a certain level of style. RELATED: The Best Superhero Games Of The 2000s (According To Metacritic) Either way though, there are definitely a lot more Spider-Mangames to choose from than there are games based on other popular superhero franchises. Most of them are fantastic, although one or two did leave a sour taste in the mouths of players. Games featuring the iconic wall-crawler date back decades and span multiple platforms and genres. Insomniac is expanding into the Marvel video game universe with the studio's recently announced Spider-Man 2 and an all-new Wolverine game. So, with X-COM developer Firaxis Games working on the upcoming Midnight Suns tactical RPG, it doesn't appear as though Marvel is looking to make amends with Activision any time soon.No other superhero's video game history is quite as rich as Spider-Man's. The game eventually saw an upgraded version on the PlayStation 5 alongside an expansion featuring Miles Morales in 2020. Insomniac Games is the current developer of Spider-Man games, debuting with Marvel's Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 in 2018. Critics were generally disappointed in the lack of innovation on Shattered Dimensions' gameplay, however, though most enjoyed the story and voice acting. Edge of Time played similarly to its predecessor, with writing from Peter David this time around and featuring voice work from Josh Keaton, Katee Sackhoff and Val Kilmer. The game picked up after the events of Shattered Dimensions, though this time only letting players switch between the original Spider-Man and his 2099 counterpart. Shattered Dimensions was generally well-liked among critics who praised it for its unique worlds, engaging story and fast-paced if not repetitious old-school combat mechanics.Ī year later saw the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo DS and 3DS. The game featured four playable versions of Spider-Man across the Amazing, Noir, 2099 and Ultimate universes alongside voicework from Neil Patrick Harris and writing by Dan Slott. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was originally released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii and DS in 2010.

In fact, the source even described the projects as a "quick money-maker" that was intended to leach off the hype surrounding Insomniac's then-upcoming Spider-Man title for the PlayStation 4. Some early assets, such as menus and button icons with higher resolution textures was as far as the team seemed to have gotten in the games' development. The chances of these Shattered Dimensions or Edge of Time remasters seeing the light of day appear slim, unfortunately, as the source explained only small teams were able to extract old source code from hard drives before the projects were canceled.
