…decides to become the ruler of the world (or something), by travelling into the past and re-writing time. …wait for it, as this is the best part - PLAYED BY VAL KILMER… You see, some one-dimensional bad guy from 2099… I got the feeling Beenox wanted to make a game focusing on Spider-Man 2099, but were told he wasn’t mainstream enough to compromise, they threw in Peter Parker using a Star Trek-ish plot device: quasi-time travel. Even with legendary comic book scribe Peter David behind the title, it comes off as a very thin concept stretched far beyond its limits about ten minutes in. Set in present time with Peter Parker, the “regular” Spider-Man, and also in 2099 with (you guessed it) Spider-Man 2099, Edge of Time is a lesson on how NOT to write a script for a video game. Yep, you can already tell by the tone of this review that I wasn’t too crazy about the resulting product, Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Developer Beenox made Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and apparently loved Spider-Man 2099 so much that they decided to shoe-horn the character into a second game.
