The player will be able to control four versions of Spider-Man, spanning the Amazing, Noir, 2099, and Ultimate universes. During key moments of gameplay Shattered Dimensions will switch to a first-person perspective. During these sequences the player will use the analog sticks to control the given Spider-Man's arms, punching their opponent. Developers described these sequences as a reward for the player. There will also be a rage meter, much like in the Spider-Man 3 video game.
