Spider-Man: Edge of Time is a video game developed by the Activision-owned developer Beenox, based on the superhero Spider-Man. The story was written by Peter David, and gameplay has a “cause-and-effect” system where one Spider-Man’s actions will affect the other and vice versa. It was released on October 4, 2011 in North America and on October 14, 2011 in Europe. Edge of Time is the second Spider-Man title to be developed by Beenox, following Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions of 2010, and the first released since Activision and Marvel’s decision to make Beenox their lead developer on future Spider-Man games.
Gameplay in the game is very similar to gameplay in Shattered Dimensions. Upgrades are available for both Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. Upgrades are bought with XP (short for experience), which can be earned by completing mini-challenges such as defeating 30 enemies in two minutes. Including the traditional Spider-Sense, each Spider-Man has their own exclusive new ability. The original Spider-Man (Peter Parker) features a “hyper-sense” mode, which allows him to move quickly, pulverizing enemies one at a time. Spider-Man 2099 can create a fake simulation of himself to divert an enemy, to either attack without them noticing or to move to another area unharmed.
This game is also available on PS3 and X360.
