D. unwittingly combined it with Carnage, giving the creature the ability to resurrect its victims into zombie-like minions and allowing it to break free and take over the base. The Amazing Spider-Man finds another fragment at an abandoned Roxxon Industries quarry, but it is stolen by Sandman, who uses it to increase his powers and take over the quarry. The Cosmic Spider-Man pack was later publicly released as downloadable content for the Xbox 360 on October 28, [21] and for the PlayStation 3 on November 2, 2010. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the concept of bringing four Marvel universes together, and lauded the voice acting, combat, presentation, humor, and score. While most of the action is played with pad and button controls, the touchscreen is used to play a mini-game in between levels to help Spider-Man use the Tablet to travel between dimensions.

A different character who took up the Spider-Man mantle in the future, Miguel O'Hara is forced to contend with the machinations of the evil Alchemax corporation in addition to facing off against future versions of Spider-Man enemies: Hobgoblin, Scorpion, and Doctor Octopus.However, The Escapist gave the Xbox 360 version three stars out of five and said, " creative set-pieces and an awesome concept can only hide a repetitious game structure for so long - and the stealth sections that mix it up are just frustrating". During specific parts of the boss battles, Shattered Dimensions switches to a first-person perspective, where the player can use the analog sticks (or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in the Wii version) to control Spider-Man's arms, punching their opponent and dodging their attacks. Though he does not normally have a spider-sense like Peter Parker, Madame Web temporarily gives him a form of it so he can track down the tablet fragments.

The Nintendo DS version of Shattered Dimensions is a side-scrolling brawler with little gameplay difference between the multiple iterations of Spider-Man. A sequel, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, was released in October 2011, featuring only the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099.IGN gave the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions eight out of ten and said, " Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions has a lot of great things going for it", [43] but scored the Wii version half a point lower despite being nearly identical to these two versions due to that version lacking a button to center the camera.

The Amazing Spider-Man is captured by Kraven the Hunter and taken to a jungle, where he is forced to overcome a series of trials for a fragment.This version of Spider-Man has a darker personality and a more brutal fighting style, with a greater emphasis on stealth. Spider-Man Noir faces Osborn for his final fragment, which the latter used to mutate himself into a goblin-like creature and take over a carnival. Gameplay alternates between the four Spider-Men, who control similarly but present a different gameplay style and/or abilities. Shattered Dimensions is less literary and artful than Batman: Arkham Asylum, but it's far more fun".
