Spider-Man swings again! Well, maybe we should say Spider-MEN!

That's right, gamers, get ready to wipe the webbing off your consoles once again this fall with a brand new Spidey game featuring not one, not two, not three, but four versions of Spider-Man at your command! Slated for release in September 2010 and developed by Beenox, "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" gives players the chance to travel across four unique dimensions, harnessing the unique powers and abilities of each Spider-Man.

Here at Marvel we like to tease and tantalize, to show off just enough of the magic without giving away all our secrets. For this first look at "Shattered Dimensions," we're unveiling two of the four dimensions: "Amazing Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man Noir"!

Each dimension wraps players in a stunning visual presentation and engrossing gameworld pulled directly from the comics--but it doesn't end there. Gameplay also changes from dimension to dimension with new combat styles and abilities unfolding as you progress. The "Amazing Spider-Man" experience delivers innovative web-centric battles and visuals in a world that pays tribute to the classic era of the Webhead. In contrast, "Spider-Man Noir" features a cunning and covert depiction of Spider-Man, who utilizes shadows to perform stealth takedowns in a 1930's-influenced, black-and-white cinematic environment.

"Each action-packed universe will have its own detailed art design and thrilling missions, challenging gamers to use new skill sets to defeat enemies as they unlock powerful new moves and progress through the game," said Rob Kostich, Head of Marketing for Activision Publishing, Inc.

Awesome visual style? Check. A crazy-cool variety of gameplay options and experiences? You betcha. An original, epic and engrossing storyline to bring it all together? But of course!

Written by acclaimed Marvel Comics scribe--and hardcore gamer--Dan Slott (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, MIGHTY AVENGERS), the story takes players on a mission to capture the magical energy of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been shattered and scattered across parallel universes. Gamers must battle fan-favorite villains such as Kraven the Hunter and an all-new-created-just-for-the-game "Noir" version of Hammerhead, in a quest to restore the fabric of reality.

this game looks like its going to take spidey to a new level but marvel defiantly needs to span its video game universe with more characters like Thor or deadpool. Just thinking about it makes me happy
