Story

BIRTH OF A HERO

Orphaned at a young age, Peter Parker lives in Queens, New York with his beloved Aunt May and Uncle Ben. Peter leads the life of a good-hearted, yet solitary, teenager making his way through high school.

On a school trip to a research institute, Peter Parker's class is given a demonstration of genetic research conducted on spiders. Peter is bitten by one of the genetically altered spiders. The next morning, Peter discovers that suddenly his vision is perfect and his previously scrawny body has become muscular—he now has incredible strength, and his hands mysteriously adhere like glue to everything.

Peter gradually teaches himself to gain better control of his powers. Initially, he uses his ESP-like "Spider-Sense" and superhuman strength, speed and agility to make money in order to impress the lovely Mary Jane.

However, it is only through the tragic death of his uncle that Peter learns that "with great power comes great responsibility." It is these words that transform Peter Parker from a teenager with extraordinary powers into the amazing Spider-Man, a super-hero out to protect the city from a never-ending supply of perils.

Meanwhile, in a lab at OsCorp, Spider-Man's ultimate nemesis is about to be born... Are you up to the challenge?

Tips & Maps

Capture Webbing

Hold down the web button to tie up enemies so they cannot attack Spidey, but be aware they will eventually break free.

Web Gloves

Spray webbing on your hands to increase the power of your punches, and a Gold Spider Icon allows for a second, more powerful application.

Web Dome

Create a shield around Spider-Man to protect him from damage, knocking back and slightly damaging enemies when he breaks out; a Gold Spider Icon allows for a more powerful dome.

Impact Webbing

Fires a powerful web ball at foes, but uses a large amount of web fluid and is slow; with the Enhanced Controller Configuration, holding the web button after finding a Gold Spider Icon charges a more powerful web ball.

Web Yank

Bring distant enemies up close to deal with them; advanced users with the Enhanced Controller Configuration can perform a twirl yank to swing an enemy and knock down others.

Web Laser

A fast web attack for aerial enemies, where pressing the Web button while swinging or jumping shoots a damaging stream of webbing that uses a good amount of web fluid.

COMBO SYSTEM

Learn new combo attacks as you progress, starting with a punch or kick and chaining up to three moves for different results and style points; Gold Spider Icons grant new combo moves and advanced web attacks.

Continuous Web-Swinging

Press the R Button to begin web-swinging, allowing you to steer through the environment and locate enemies using your height meter and compass.

Camera Lock

Engage Camera Lock once an enemy is located, which fixes the camera on your target for effective maneuvering, especially in aerial combat.

Maneuvering

While web-swinging offers some maneuverability, cutting your web-line by pressing the button is the most effective way to quickly turn toward an enemy.
