No I think that was really a fanpage. The guy in charge of it was a total douche always deleting comments that weren't positive about the game (speaking from experience). He said it was the official page, but apparently he lied. I'd like to think that an official page would be accepting of all comments as long as it wasn't spam.

Well I finished it. Good game, but I felt like there could have been more. It really liked the story and Keaton and Barnes prove they are the definitive Spider-Men voices. The dialogue seems natural between them too. However, I wish the controls could have played more like Shattered Dimensions. For example, you can't connect attacks and keep up momentum, ie you can't shoot a web at someone, fly toward them, attack, and then hit the next one. And while the Accelerated Decoy was a good move, I would have preferred the dodge function and accelerated vision seperately (accelerated vision would have helped with the freefalling too, fun as it was). I also feel that after packing 13 villains into one game, 4 main bosses and a Doc Ock cameo leaves you wanting more. One more thing: Spider-Sense should have been active more than 5 seconds. Of course, I'm just nitpicking. It's a good game and worth playing. I'd give it an 8.5.
Also, there are tons more costumes than what has been announced including the new Spider-Armor, Spider-Ben, the Black suit, etc. Instead of buying them though, you have to earn costume keys in challenges (I'm kinda hoping for a "unlock all costumes" cheat.)
BTW, does anyone have the FF code? I haven't found it yet.
Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the Big Time code at the main menu is right, down, down, up, left, down, down, right.

Entire plot: The game begins in the present day, as Peter Parker/Spider-Man battles Anti-Venom. Before long, Anti-Venom robs Peter of his powers and apparently kills him...
The game then rewinds to earlier in the game's story, in the year 2099. Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man investigates the Alchemax scientist Walker Sloan. While spying on him, Miguel discovers Sloan's plans: to travel back in time and obtain power and fortune by founding Alchemax much earlier than it was originally established. Miguel arrives just as Sloan enters his Gateway, but jumps through the portal too late to stop him. Trapped between times, Miguel watches helplessly as the original Spider-Man is murdered by Anti-Venom and history is changed for the worse. Upon his return to 2099- having been unaffected by the time change due to him being trapped in the portal when the change took place-, Miguel discovers that Sloan's changes to the timeline have reduced New York City to a dystopia.
In the new timeline created by Sloan, Alchemax has been founded in the 1970s, apparently replacing the Daily Bugle, and Peter Parker himself works there as a scientist. Realizing this, Miguel uses Peter's DNA, stored within the company's archives, to create a chronal link between the two and warn Peter of the truth about Alchemax and his impending death on the 66th floor of the building. Despite this knowledge, Peter is unwilling to let Anti-Venom run amuck and hurt innocent people and proceeds to pursue him through the building, much to Miguel's irritation. Faced with this, Miguel goes for his backup plan: to make his way to the 66th floor of the future Alchemax, where the Gateway is stored, and travel back to Peter's time. After several encounters with Anti-Venom, Peter and Miguel deduce that he has been brainwashed by Sloan. During their attempt to reach the 66th floor, Peter and Miguel discover that, due to the portal Sloane has created, their two time periods exist in a state of 'quantum causality', where actions Peter takes in the past directly impact on Miguel's future, such as Peter destroying a force field system leaving Miguel to face robot sentries instead of the force field he was dealing with earlier.
Peter eventually arrives on the 66th floor and confronts Anti-Venom, along with Sloan and Doctor Octopus, in front of the Gateway. A battle ensues, and just as Miguel warned, Peter ends up on the losing end of the fight. Just as Anti-Venom is about to deal the finishing blow, Miguel arrives on his side of the Gateway and uses his webbing to pull Peter forward into the year 2099, where he proceeds to put his near-dead predecessor in a cellular regeneration tank. Anti-Venom attempts to follow them through the Gateway, but Miguel jumps through it and arrives at the present day. As his own powers are not radiation-based, Miguel is unaffected by Anti-Venom's healing powers and defeats him, removing the mind control devices Sloan had implanted in his body in the process. Outraged, Anti-Venom attacks Sloan and Doctor Octopus, and all three of them are knocked into the Gateway.
Meanwhile, in 2099, Peter awakens, fully healed, to find himself and Miguel trapped in each other's respective time periods. With the portal able to send objects to the past but too damaged to allow Miguel to return to his time, Peter searches for power coils that Miguel can use to repair the damage at his end. During his search, Peter is attacked by twisted versions of Octavius's tentacles from outside reality, but is able to evade them and provide Miguel with the necessary components. Lacking power for the portal, Miguel retreats to the basement to access Alchemax archives, but is unable to access them in his time, forcing Peter to access the archives of his time so that he can provide Miguel with the information needed. While analysing the archives, Peter discovers that Mary Jane is destined to die that night during a visit to Alchemax, but Miguel is able to save her despite interference from the tentacles.
As Peter prepares to return to the portal, he is attacked by what appears to be the Black Cat, kept alive by an 'anti-aging drug', but Peter rejects her claims that something he did drove her to this, her defeat revealing that she is one of several clones of the original Felicia Hardy. While heading to the portal, Peter encounters the Alchemax CEO, and is shocked to learn that it is apparently his own future self, still alive thanks to the anti-aging drug, claiming to have assembled the power of Alchemax to rewrite reality after some unspecified tragedy cost him everyone he loved. Rejecting his future self, Peter continues towards the portal, although he is forced to face the Black Cat clones again while in the hydroponics garden, but his final defeat of her prompts her to admit that she was always a clone.
Reaching the portal, the two Spider-Men return to their own time, but are faced with new problems as the portal's existence creates a quantum storm that threatens to rip reality apart, as well as releasing a new monster in Peter Parker's era that he terms 'Atrocity'. While Miguel reaches the Alchemax databanks, Peter lures Atrocity into a trap that allows him to take DNA samples from it that Miguel can analyse in the future, confirming that the creature is an amalgamation of Octavius, Sloane, and Anti-Venom. Before Miguel and Peter can work out a way to stop it, Miguel is contacted by the CEO Peter, who reveals that he intends to harness the quantum storm to rewrite his history and undo his past mistakes.

Reviews: GamePro - 3/5 Joystiq - 2.5/5 IGN - 4.5/10 Gameinformer - 6.5/10
General reaction: Edge of Time is a major step back from the formula in Shattered Dimensions that worked.

guys, seriously take my word on this: the game blows. i kid you not, its a Shattered Dimensions 2 basically, only worse. you cant do half the crap you could do in the first game, its repetitive and short, and the bosses arent interesting at all.
plus, a screen popped up after i beat it that said "Thank you for playing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" :l

That's just sad. You're being serious about that "thank you for playing SM:SD" thing? Cause that's just.... wow.
You and BIB have some very differing opinions.
I'll probably rent the game to see what I think about it. What surprises me is that there are two less dimensions, but the fighting system sounds less sophisticated. What the heck is up with that? You'd think they'd be able to at least expand on the dimensions they had last time around, considering they didn't have to focus on so many different things. Perhaps the game really was rushed, in spite of Beenox's claim that the game was indevelopment well before Shattered Dimensions was released.

It's not that bad IMO. It's just not as good as Shattered Dimensions, which had more villains, more room to swing around, and better combat. While Edge of Time had a good story and had Keaton and Barnes' voices, it's a minor step backwards in certain areas. As fun as it is to play different Spider-Men, I think the next comic game needs to get back to basics, ie mainstream Amazing Spider-Man, at least half a dozen villains, and outside and inside areas. Whether it's level based or open world, I can take either. It could also be a plus to get Keaton or Barnes back again as the main voice. However, we'll probably have to wait for that since there may be a new movie game next Summer.

no offense to Bib but i come to think that you are very lax when it comes to critiquing. i'm gonna take Mob's word for it. I don't have money to spend on mediocre games. I'll just replay SD.

The differing of opinions convinced me to rent it and well I didn't like it. It felt like a pale Imitation of Shattered Dimensions expect with only 2 dimensions.
While the game had great graphics and excellent voice acting, the lack of challenge, bosses and variety in the enviroment (confined to large rooms and long corridors) was disappointing.
5/10.
As for the next game, I completely agree with BackinBlack. We need a game that follows the example Spider-Man (2000).
