Rented this the other day.
Awesome. Seriously. Even if this were only an Amazing/616 Spidey game, it would be awesome just based on the tight controls and fighting variety. But including 3 other different versions of Spidey, each with their own unique gameplay aspects...well, now thats something.
While its not the best game ever, its certainly much better than I expected it to be.
Even the 1st person punching/boxing stuff, which sounded stupid at first, works very well. Me likey.
Even better, it actually fits into continuity (Ultimate continuity anyway).
They name drop Jessica in Ultimate, yet he has the Suit and Little Ben still exists?
Ugh.
Actually, the Ultimate portions can fit into existing Ultimate continuity without screwing up the timeline.
Its said at the very beginning (at least during Ult Spidey's intro to his first playable level--the Electro level) that Madam Web grants Ult Spidey the use of the black suit to help him overcome the coming challenges. All the power and agility of the black suit, but without the mind-controlling need to eat people. Plus, its easy enough to buy the alternate Ult costume (the regular blue and red one) and just wear that (even though there are black Venom tendrils coming out of it).
And Little Ben/Carnage is supposedly still in existence, just now a completely separate entity from Gwen. This is questionable given the ending of the War of the Symbiotes arc (Venom absorbing Carnage), but its easy enough to assume since Gwen/Carnage was under SHIELD custody for awhile, SHIELD was able to get a sample and possibly grow their own Carnage. Or maybe Venom just pooped out a whole, undigested and un-absorbed Carnage, who can say?
I'd guess Shattered Dimensions could take place anytime after Ultimatum, since Carnage is its own entity, and Nick Fury is mentioned as being around (meaning for it to make sense, it has to be post-Ultimatum, since thats when Nick returns from the Squadron Supreme-verse.
So taking that into account, name dropping Jessica actually makes sense.
According to Marvel.com the new DLC is available now for XBox 360, Playstation 3 next week. The Content includes all 4 Cosmic Spidey Suits and an all new signature attack.

Meh. Hopefully they'll add more playable levels for DLC.
