Four Spider-Men for the Price of One Videogame!

The videogame, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, arriving in Fall 2010 features the voices of the last four actors to portray Spider-Man in animation.

Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Keaton, Christopher Daniel Barnes and Dan Gilvezan will be portraying Spider-Man in different continuity/series settings.

Neil Patrick Harris portrayed Spider-Man in the early 2000s MTV CGI series produced by Mainframe. Josh Keaton was the voice of Spider-Man in the recently concluded "Spectacular Spider-Man" series. Christopher Daniel Barnes essayed the role in the 1994 Spider-Man series that aired on FoxKids. Dan Gilvezan, who also voiced Bumblebee in the original Transformers TV series and 1986 Transformers animated movie, is perhaps the best known voice of Spider-Man for at least two generations since he starred in the cult-favorite "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" from 1981-1983.

The only missing Spider voices from animation are Rino Romano, the Spider voice for "Spider-Man Unlimited (1999)," Ted Schwartz, the voice for the syndicated 1981 "Spider-Man" solo series and Paul Soles, the original voice of Spider-Man in the first Spider-Man animated TV series (1967-1970, also referred to as "Spider-Man 1967" or "Spider-Man - The '67 Collection" on DVD.)

Only "Spectacular Spider-Man" and the original "Spider-Man" have had full series releases on home video (DVD).

The Shattered Dimensions game will be released to the Nintendo DS, Wii, PS3, and XBox 360 on September 7th.



(This is one of the few times the UK gets a better deal on home video releases. More episodes and series featuring Marvel characters have been released in R2 than R1 so far...)

The MTV series had a full series release, too. :)

And, actually, Spectacular only has one full season out so far.

All of Season Two has been released in 4 volumes I believe, though....

So technically all of Spectacular Spider-Man is out on DVD now.

There were only 26 episodes made of that series.

Honestly, out of all I've seen, the MTV version was by far the weakest. It was poorly rendered, bad animation, and it was just so ugly to look at that I never made it through an entire episode.

It looked about as good as a videogame circa 1993!

Agreed. The writing wasn't terrible, but the visuals made it hard to watch.
