Mysterio's Menace
A casual telephone call with Mary Jane is the beginning of a new adventure for Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker.
Three seemingly unrelated incidents require the superhero's attention in different parts of the city. Rhino is pulling off a heist at the docks, Hammerhead is fighting it out with some goons downtown, and Big Wheel is smashing up a factory.
It's going to be a long night for the web slinger.
When you begin your adventure, you will have three areas of the city that you can investigate. Pick the level that will be the biggest challenge or the easiest to complete, depending on which you prefer. As you complete a level, other areas in the game become available and can be accessed from the Map Selection screen.
