how did that suck? its what the game should be sure all around game play could be better but to have the full feel of spiderman you need sandbox freedom and big name villains plus cameos form other heroes.

i think Spider-man SD was a great game until i beat it when i wish i could free roam around the different dimensions. I want to see another Spidey game like Ultimate Spider-man but in the amazing universe and with just about every big villain and comic book happening all jumbled into the greatest Spider-man game of all time. oh and with every alternate suit available

maybe they sould do a game where like shattered dimensions you have a variety of spider men and you can free roam and do missions and save the day and maybe even find time for mary-jane or gwen stacey ;P

Yeah man, Sand-box games are the future. Shattered Dreams was okay, but I played it once and I'll never go back to it. There's no reason to play it again, because it's not going to be any different! Good to see Spidey: 2099 though, only reason I bought the game in the first place. A 2099 sand-box game, there's potential Activision... take note, I'm giving you gold here!!
