10 Best Spider-Man Video Games

9. Spider-Man: Edge Of Time

Following on from the cult classic Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time aimed to somewhat distill that game's four protagonist/four gameplay style mix, down to just regular 616 Spidey and Spider-Man 2099.

Innovatively pegged as a dual timeline tale where you're affecting events in the future by destroying objects in the past, sadly the majority of gameplay does boil down to brawling and combat, rather than anything close to a focus on web-swinging. Athleticism and Spidey traits like clinging to walls, firing off web-shooters and dangling goons from the ceiling are all present, but Edge of Time didn't find favour with critics, simply because it was far too repetitive.

That said, for fans we saw a menagerie of deep cut characters like Anti-Venom alongside an alternate reality timeline where Parker never became Spidey, and the Daily Bugle is the evil Alchemax corporation.

Gameplay was certainly very simple, but if you like your Spider-Man pounding heads and making fun of enemies as he goes, Edge of Time still had a lot to offer.
