Players will take control of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in different dimensions. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=22870 The concept behind Activision's newest Spider-Man title, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, is that players will control the Marvel hero as he travels through four different dimensions, according to an Activision press release.
Each dimension will have a different style of gameplay, unique graphics, and a recurring final boss. Activision has offered details on the first two dimensions: The Amazing Spider-Man Dimension and Spider-Man Noir Dimension.
Each dimension will consist of a few levels, with all sorts of mini-bosses coming up along the way. It'll be the first linear Spider-Man game on a console since Spider-Man: Friend or Foe.
The Amazing Spider-Man one is an action-based world inspired by the classic Spider-Man comics and will feature web-based combat. This dimension's boss will be Kraven the Hunter.
The Spider-Man Noir world takes a stealth approach to the gameplay. Taking place in the 1930s, Spider-Man will use shadows and stealth will be his main attack. This dimension will feature Hammerhead as the boss.
The storyline in Shattered Dimensions will be handled by Marvel Comics scribe Dan Slott. In the Shattered Dimensions, the object is to recover the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been destroyed and scattered throughout various dimensions.
The Wii version will be developed by Beenox, who are also developing the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. The Wii version will reportedly be feature complete with the other versions.
Griptonite Games will be in charge of the DS version. The same team that made the Metroidvania-like Spider-Man: Web of Shadows will be working on this game, so it can be assumed that Shattered Dimensions will retain the same gameplay as the previous iteration.
