Save Spider-Man!

The timelines of the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 begin to unravel as a mysterious and nefarious villain goes back in time to remake the world in his image and kill Peter Parker, resulting in a chaotic, dystopian version of the future. The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, must overcome their differences and work together across time to prevent a disastrous new world order and save each other.


Features:


Change the Future by Changing the Past -- Story-driven "cause-and-effect" moments make their debut in the Spider-Man videogame franchise. Utilizing exciting "picture-in-picture" visuals to enhance interactions between the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, players will be able to see the immediate effects of one Spider-Man’s actions on the other’s timeline with expected – and sometimes unexpected – results.


Race Against Time in an Epic Adventure -- Backed by a rich, complex story penned by veteran Marvel writer Peter David (co-creator of Spider-Man 2099), players will experience a thrilling, action-packed adventure with a deep story detailing the adventures of two similar, but uniquely different super heroes across a time-span of nearly a century.


Harness the Unique Abilities of Each Spider-Man -- The combat abilities have been refined for the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 to really highlight the distinct fighting styles of each character, including a new Hyper-Sense mode for the fast and acrobatic Amazing Spider-Man and an Accelerated Decoy capability for the technologically advanced Spider-Man 2099.

Brandon, as someone who picked up the last game, Shattered Dimensions, and rate it as the best Spider-Man game to date, I would really be interested to see you review Edge Of Time when it releases to hear your thoughts.

[evil]

Yeah. I haven't played this yet. But, I'm looking to rent it soometime within' the next couple of weeks from my local Redbox for a day or two. Based on what I've heard from a another buddy of mine. He says the game is pretty short (5-6 hrs. in length). He praised the storyline, and the stunning graphics. But was disappointed in the game mechanics which turned out to be repetitive. Example: Beating up a bunch of bad guys just to get a key to unlock a door. Seemingly, you do this quite often throughout the game. Says that web swinging/slinging becomes a 'chore', and Spider Sense has been dumbed down to only showing where your supposed to go & your mission objectives. Rather then in the last game. Where you could see where enemies are located, and find hidden secrets.

But anyhow. That is my friends opinion. I'll definitely give you mine whenever I'm able to play it.
