More Costumes Will Save this Game

I remember back in the day when all I used to play was Spider-Man the game on my Nintendo 64 and collecting secret comics which I believe where the key to unlocking some secret costumes for the game. They sort of enhanced the gameplay in any way when you do unlock them, but hopefully (and for its sake) for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions that the gameplay will be more significantly enhanced. In order to get some of the costumes you have to buy them from specific retailers in order to gain the costume. At Amazon you get the Tony Stark Iron Spider-Man suit:

Thing with this costume is that its only for use in the Spider-Man 2099 universe. I think that's how its going to be with most costumes unfortunately. Its still pretty neat though. Here’s what you get at GameStop:

You get Cosmic Spider-Man! This one has an interesting feature to it. I haven’t seen if the Iron suit can do this, but apparently this one has different variations to it. This one is also used for the Noir universe for some odd reason. Although, it does create this interesting variation for Noir:

Its creates a dark blue color on the suit, with the Cosmic Spider-Man, I guess, “cosmic lines?” However you call it. Its still a cool variation. There's also this variation which may be a new look.

Just a few minutes ago these new costumes were announced for K-Mart and Best Buy. K-Mart isn’t that bad now really. Its becoming more gamer friendly lately. Here’s the K-Mart Exclusive suit:

Yep, its the Ben Reilly (or Scarlet Spider) suit. Nothing really new or anything sort of amazing really. If most people don’t know this particular Spider-Man character by now, here’s a short history on the character: Ben Reilly is actually a clone of Peter Parker and took the mantle of Spider-Man for a while, first in his Scarlet Spider suit and then as the actual Spider-Man suit. He took the mantle when Parker had to retire for a short time to take care of his unborn child. If you want more just go to the Wikipedia page. You probably use this suit in the Classic Spider-Man universe.

Now lets move on to Best Buys exclusive:

Little is known (to my knowledge) of the Negative Zone Spider-Man. Its probably some alternate universe type of thing where Spidey has a black suit sans the alien symbiote. This is probably used in the Classic Universe as well. I actually don’t really know why they wouldn’t release classic black suit symbiote spidey instead of this. Activision makes some weird decisions.

But wait, that’s not all? Some more suits will be unlockable in the game. You may be pleasantly surprised about one of these suits. Its not known wither you have to download these or they will just be made available later on in the game, but I do hope its the latter:

I’ve seen this before. I don’t know anything about it exactly, I just know it may be used in the Spider-Man 2099 universe. The future is all about armor.

Wow, this is a surprise. Even if I wont be able to go to the Spider-Man Mangaverse having him as a playable character is still as good. You get to play him in the (unfortunate) Ultimate Spider-Man Universe. Its interesting since I just mentioned this to Activision yesterday about they should have tried for the Mangaverse Spidey. Bravo Activision for trying. You guys still suck though.
