A. Miscellaneous

First off, this work is the intellectual property of J. Grevas. Don't
steal it! Feel free to post it anywhere you like as long as you do 3
things: 1. Give me proper credit. Writing this took a great deal of
time and effort, so gimme some credit. 2. Tell me. I'd like to know
where this thing is being distributed. Right now, it should be
available only on www.gamefaqs.com, so if I find it somewhere else,
I'll go Sabretooth on ya. 3. Don't alter it in any way. Feel free to
add things, but please don't take anything out. If you do, look above
to see what your fate will be.

Be warned that this walkthrough is full of spoilers. Anything with an
asterisk beside it contains spoilers, so proceed at your own risk.

Please read the whole thing before sending me e-mails. I don't need my
inbox flooded with questions I've already answered. I won't respond.
No hate mail either (I get enough of that from my webpage). I'm sick
of hearing, "HEY YOU SAID THAT YOU CAN BEAT VENOM IN FIVE OR SIX SHOTS
BUT IT TOOK ME 10 YOU (insert various nonsensical expletives
here)!!!!!!" I'm human, and I make mistakes sometimes. You're not
cute, you're not funny, and I don't care about anything you have to say
if you're gonna talk to me like that. However, if you have a good tip,
or a question that isn't covered here, feel free to drop me a line at
[email protected]. I'll try to respond as quickly as possible, but
don't flip out if it takes me a day or two.

==========================================================
B. Controls & Power-ups

Triangle: Fire trap webbing. Great for the basic enemies in the early
stages of the game, not so great for symbiotes and lizardmen.
Sometimes useful against bosses.

Up + Triangle: Fire Impact webbing. An all around great long-range
weapon.

Left + Triangle: Web gloves. Double damage for punch attacks.
Disappear after a few punches, if you cling to a surface, or fire
webbing.

Right + Triangle: Web Dome. Protects you from enemy attacks. Press
any button to shatter it and damage any nearby enemies. Fairly
worthless.

Down + Triangle: Web yank. Use this to pull the enemy toward you or
press left or right immediately after firing to throw the enemy in that
direction. Doesn't work against some enemies, and the timing is
difficult to get the hang of (at least for me, but maybe I just
suck....)

Triangle + Square or Circle: Grab. Press punch or kick after grabbing
to execute an attack (multiple punches or a mule kick, respectively).

Square: Punch attacks. Pressing multiple times will unleash a combo.
Can be powered up with web gloves.

Circle: Kick attacks. Slightly more powerful than punches.

X: Jump. This will enable you to beat every enemy in one shot. Idiot.

L1: Web aim. Very Useful. Yellow crosshairs appear if you're
targeting an enemy, light purple for a switch or part of the
environment that you can interact with.

L2: Stealth, if you have the right suit.

R1: Zip-line. Shoots you to the surface directly across from your
current position if it is a climbable surface.

R2: Web swing. Another really straightforward one, but be careful
because you can only swing within a certain range, and sometimes, if
you attempt to change directions, the camera angle will prevent you
from doing so.

Blue Spider symbols: Gives you another web cartridge. Maximum of ten.

White and Red Spider symbols: Health.

Gold Spider symbols: Spider-Armor. Yeah, it was pretty lame in the
comics, but it's actually useful here. Has its own health meter, but
Health icons won't restore it. Slightly increases damage, also.

Gold and Red Spider symbols: Magnesium Webbing. Particularly useful
against symbiotes.

==========================================================
D. Walkthrough (MASSIVE SPOILERS)

1. Get to the Bank!
After the FMV sequence, you'll get your first game cover (GC), hear the
legend himself, Stan "The Man" Lee, and get a visit from the Black Cat.
The Cat informs you that the bank has been held up and that the robbers
have taken hostages, but doesn't bother to lift a finger to help you.
Oh well, not too much hidden on this level, so swing for the building
dead ahead using R2. If you need a hint, head for the question mark in
the right corner and the Cat'll tell you how to swing (not that kind of
swinging, perv). On the next roof, there's a web cartridge and another
question mark, this time telling you that the blue icon is a web
cartridge. Keep following the *ahem* "Spidey-Compass" (geez, did Adam
West write this part?), and when you swing across to the next building
your Spider-Sense starts tingling and you face your first bad guy, a
basic henchman. Take care of him, keep going straight, take out
another henchman and grab the web cartridge and health power-up if need
be. There's nothing interesting on any of the buildings to the sides,
so keep going straight until Spidey comments on the police choppers.
Here, swing to the building slightly to the right, watch the FMV, and
get ready for the next level.

2. Bank Approach (Comic #1)
At the start of the level, you can swing straight ahead and go to the
helipad (there's a health power-up here), and then to the bank on the
right, or you can explore a bit. To get your first comic, head to the
left at the beginning and swing to the building below, then Four
Freedoms Plaza. On top, you'll get comic #1, Amazing Spider-Man #1.
After that's done, head for the bank and climb to the top. If you head
down instead, you can find a web cartridge on the right hand side. On
the way up you'll find out exactly who you're up against, the Jade
Syndicate. They wear all black, but they're here to steal the green.
Sorry, that's the only explanation I can come up with for the stupid
name. You can snag a web cartridge as well as a health power-up here,
and after you take out the four bank thugs, you'll automatically enter
the bank through what I'm assuming is a skylight.

3. Hostage Situation (Comic #2)
When the level starts, there'll be a bank thug straight ahead. Head
through the doorway and to the left to take him out. You can stick to
the ceiling and use some stealth tactics if you like. Turn right, take
out another goon and notice the hostage behind the windows. Remember
this spot, you'll be coming back here later. Go past the windows on
the right, and take out the thug standing in the entrance of the
cubicle. Do it quickly, or he'll assassinate a hostage, and you'll
have to start all over again. Around the corner to the left, there's
another thug. If you make too much noise fighting the first goon,
he'll come over and join the fray (depending on your timing, he might
be there already). There are web cartridges inside each of the
cubicles, and a question mark further to the left. Past that is a
health icon. Stand on the grating here and use R1 to zip-line up to
the vent. When you exit at the other end, you'll be in a room with
three switches. Hit the first one to free the hostage you saw earlier,
the second to open the door to this room, and the third to open a door
a little further down the hall. Take out the thug by the third switch
and grab the health icon and web cartridge, then double back to the
elevator at the beginning of the level for another web cartridge.
There's nothing in the room that switch #1 opened, so head through the
door switch #3 opened, and take on two more thugs. Zip-line up to the
ceiling here and take out another goon, then make your way to the end
of the hall and turn right to see two more thugs and three hostages.
Drop these guys fast, or the hostages will bite it. To the right,
there's another web cartridge, another health icon and another question
mark. Lift up the chairs in the cubicles here to get Comic #2, Amazing
Spider-Man #200. After that's all done, head out the door in the far
corner and board the elevator to pretend you're Steven Tyler and finish
the level.

4. Stop the Bomb! (Comic #3)
Time for some Tactical Espionage/Stealth Assassin action so prepare to
do your best impression of Solid Snake or Rikimaru. Unlike those two,
Spidey can stick to ceilings. Do so in the first hallway, crawl into
the second room and stick to the ceiling here also. You should have
plenty of webbing by now, so take out all the guards in this room by
holding down the triangle button until they're rendered immobile. For
the first two, use L1 targeting and get 'em from the ceiling. You
don't want to engage them with your fists because they'll yell and the
other guards will start executing hostages. After the one at the
entryway is taken care of, go all the way to the end and get the one
who's on patrol. Work your way back toward the entrance saving
hostages. If you hear a hostage begging for help, drop down and take
out all the guards kamikaze style. There are a total of five guards
here, and once you've dropped all of them, head back to the first
hallway and grab Comic #3, Spider-Man #1: The Death of Captain Stacy.
Now, go back in, grab the web cartridge and health icon, and climb up
the vent at the far end. On the other side, you'll end up in a room
with two thugs. Drop 'em, and a door opposite the entrance will open.
Take out this thug too, and head into the next room through the door
that just opened. Enter and hit the blue switch to open the safe door.
Next, hit the green switch, and, after the automated sequence, move
into the vault and stop the thugs. They don't really go after the
hostages, so just take them out ASAP. Web gloves and impact webbing
work well here. Once all three are down for the count, pick up the
bomb using the punch button, carry it out to the safe you opened, and
throw it inside. If you're impatient (like I am), you can throw the
bomb repeatedly to save time. Close the safe door by hitting the
switch again and the level will end.

5. Race to the Bugle (Comic #4)
After the automated sequence you'll get another GC and an FMV. This
level is a race, but it isn't too tough, so don't rush and make
mistakes. There isn't much to find here, so just keep swinging forward
and either fighting or avoiding the henchmen. When the game cuts to an
FMA of two henchmen on a rooftop, don't climb up just yet. Crawl
around the sides of the building to get Comic #4, Amazing Spider-Man
#25. There's also a web cartridge in the center of the roof here.
FYI: The billboard here is for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. Keep following
the *snicker* "Spider-Compass," and on the last rooftop there's a
health icon and a billboard for Stark Solutions, "Consulting in the
Future." Nice touch. Swing over to the Daily Bugle to finish the
level and get ready for a showdown with the Scorpion.

6. Spidey vs. Scorpion! (Comic #5)
Okay, your first real boss. Mac Gargan's an idiot in the comics, and
he's an idiot here. Piece o' cake. Start off by launching some trap
webbing so that The Game-ah, Triple J, can run away like a wuss-boy
with his panties on fire. Most of the time, Scorpion looks for JJ, so
you can tag him from behind. Impact webbing will draw his attention
and he'll come after you with a tail attack. If you destroy all the
furniture in this room, either by lifting and throwing it or letting
the Scorpion destroy it with his tail, you can get Comic #5, Amazing
Spider-Man #20. If you've got lots of webbing, the easiest way to beat
down the Scorpion is to keep nailing him with impact webbing. If not,
move in close and pound him with punches and kicks, or toss furniture
at him. After completing a combo (3 attacks), Scorpion will retaliate.
If you're in close, he'll punch, but if you knocked him back, he'll use
his tail. Jump away to avoid either of these counters. After you do
enough damage, Jameson will run into the next room, and Spidey and the
Scorpion will follow automatically. Stick to the same strategy and
you'll spank him like a bad puppy. Final note: Don't jump and stick to
the walls, 'cause the Scorpion will fire a tail laser that's tough to
avoid. After you beat him, there's another FMV featuring everyone's
favorite Man Without Fear.

7. Police Chopper Chase (Comic #6)
Keep running! Those missiles do a lot of damage, but if you're good at
dodging, you can get some extra webbing and health when they blow up
the boxes and signs. Be careful on the bridge between the two
buildings, because the chopper will fire a missile and take it out.
Once you pass the "Porkin Donuts" sign, you'll come to a rooftop where
two policemen pop out. Let the chopper's missiles destroy the first
box on the right to grab Comic #6, Amazing Spider-Man #16. After that,
swing to the next building to finish the level and start one of the
coolest levels in the game.

8. Missile Attack
Climb straight up at the start, then head left when you see the boarded
up section in the center. If you look to the left here, you'll see a
billboard advertising a Channel 7 interview with Wolverine. I love
this stuff! Start crawling right when you come to the next boarded up
section, and up again when you're beneath the keep out sign. Crawl to
the center, over the ledge, and up the wall again until you're past the
first boarded up section. While on the second one, crawl to the left
and up again. Here, there's a billboard for WHLK 96.6, which urges you
to "Wake up to the Hulk!" Now, head back to the center, up, and back
to the left again. Go up two, right one, up one, left one, and up one
more. Whew. Crawl up onto the ledge, and you've reached a checkpoint
and a health icon. For the next section, it doesn't matter where you
crawl up; just avoid the searchlights and crosshairs, all the while
enjoying the cops' frustration. On the left, there's a "Four on Tour.
This Summer" billboard. In the next section, climb straight up the
center as quickly as possible to end the level. On the right, there's
a billboard for "The Jeffrey Swinger Show," on which Captain America is
scheduled to be a guest.

9. Building Top Chase (Comic #7)
Okay, you're on a rooftop now. There's a billboard to your left, and
if you climb onto it, you'll receive a humorous message from Spidey. I
really wouldn't recommend this if you're not wearing the Captain
Universe suit, though. "Tony Hawk. Hey, I skated with that guy."
Hah. Avoid the center of the next roof, unless you like getting pegged
with missiles, but take note that there's a health icon on the other
side in the center. Swing over to the hotel and climb to the top.
Head to the right and swing over to the crane here to get some armor
and Comic #7, Amazing Spider-Man #39. This is a really cool room. I
won't spoil the surprise here, but if you're a Spidey fan, you'll
probably like this. So what if it isn't exactly in character. Anyhow,
keep following the Spider-Compass (hee hee, that still makes me giggle
like a school girl) until you come to a building with three windows.
The helicopter will destroy these, revealing a health icon and several
SWAT members. Alternatively, you can climb to the top and grab a web
cartridge, but be warned that the rooftop gets bombarded with missiles.
Keep going forward until you come to the two cranes. Move quickly
here, because the helicopter will shoot them down. When you reach the
big building in the distance, the level is complete.

10. Scale the Girders (Comic #8)
Ignore Spidey's comment at the beginning about going up, and go down.
When you reach the ledge, head left to get Comic #8, Amazing Spider-Man
#400. Climb back up, dodging helicopter fire, until you get to the
girders. Unless you really need health icons, keep on zip-lining your
way to the top and ignore all the guards. At the top, grab the health
icon and head for the crane. Walk all the way to the end of the arm
and swing for the crane to automatically end the level.

11. Police Evaded (Comic #9)
Just like the Building Top Chase, just keep going forward. Swing for
the "Gossip" billboard for a funny message and a bit of foreshadowing.
Shortly after that you'll come to a rooftop with an "Omnitek" billboard
and two skylights. Let the chopper shoot out the skylights, and enter
to fight two SWAT members and grab a health icon. More importantly, if
you shoot out the blue glass underneath the yellow glass using impact
webbing, you can get Comic #9, Amazing Spider-Man #14. Exit and keep
going forward past the Roxxon Oil billboards and another crate (it'll
fall if you dawdle too long; swing for the crane if it does) toward the
building with the two transmitters and the end of the level. Yet
another FMV and the third GC.

12. Spidey vs. Rhino! (Comic #10, Scarlet Spidey Costume)
Time for your next boss battle. Don't bother punching and kicking
Rhino; it doesn't do much damage, and he'll hit back. Hard. Also, if
you take out all the barrels, Comic #10, Amazing Spider-Man #41, will
appear in the middle of the electric fence. Another easy one. Stand
in front of the barrels until Rhino starts to charge, then jump out of
the way and head for one of the other groups of barrels. While Rhino
is stunned you can nail him with impact webbing, but be warned that if
you do he'll charge immediately. Again, don't stick to the walls here,
or Rhino will unleash a shockwave that brings you back down. If you run
out of barrels, lure Rhino into one of the electric pylons and tag him
with some impact webbing while he's getting shocked. You shouldn't
need to, but you can also lead him into the walls, then peg him with
some web glove shots. This battle is most notable for having Spidey's
best one liner of the game, "Aw, did you hurt your little tusky wusky?"
Heh. I don't know about y'all, but this really makes me want a
Deadpool game. After you win, you'll get another FMV, another GC, and
your first extra costume, Scarlet Spidey.

TIDBIT: The Scarlet Spidey costume was worn by the Spider Clone, Ben
Reilly, when he believed he was the real Peter Parker. Years ago, the
Jackal created a clone of Spider-Man, but it was believed he perished
in a warehouse fire. After drifting for years under an assumed name,
Reilly showed up out of nowhere to claim the Spider mantle in one of
the most infamous stories in Spidey's 37 year history. Reilly went by
the name Scarlet Spider at this time, and was a member of the New
Warriors.

13. Catch Venom (Comics #11 & #12)
If you're playing this on the Hard difficulty setting, prepare to be
frustrated. Start out by going forward, then diagonally left,
diagonally right, cross the bridge, jump on the platform, diagonally
left, hard right, and diagonally left again. You have to make all
these moves pretty quickly or Venom will get too far ahead and you
lose. Now you finally get a breather, as Venom waits for you and
taunts on the building that's under construction. When you get here,
don't worry about losing him, instead, go left right away to get some
armor and Comic #11, Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man #42. Go
right now, and you'll see Venom just sitting there. When you get
close, he heads for the corner where you first landed. Head over
there, then the opposite corner when he runs again. An automated
sequence inside a building follows, so catch your breath and get ready
for the hard part. When you regain control, climb up the building and
head left immediately. Do NOT go straight ahead toward Venom. If you
do, he runs away and gets a big lead. This can end the level right
here. Anyhow, go left toward the far corner. Venom will run past and
swing off. Follow him, and on the far right hand side of this rooftop,
you can get Comic #12, Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man #76. The
pace increases rapidly here, so do your best to keep up and hit R2 at
the top of your jump to get maximum swinging distance. Venom does stop
at least once, so if you have to climb up any buildings there's still a
chance you can keep up. After about four more buildings, the level
ends with you automatically chasing after Venom.

14. Spidey vs. Venom! (Comic #13, Ben Reilly Costume)
Finally, a boss that's actually a bit of a challenge. After the oh-so-
cool FMV, you get a bonus set of web gloves. Trust me, you'll need
'em. Start off by attacking Venom with your web gloves. Try to stay
in the center at the beginning, or Venom will pull you in with a web
yank-punch combo, or grab you with the symbiote for an attack that
hurts a lot. There's a web cartridge in the back-right corner, and a
health icon in the front-left. Also, if you lift up the dumpster in
the left rear there's a web cartridge, and a health icon under the
dumpster in the right front corner. Don't forget to lift up the car to
find Comic #13, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8. After your initial
flurry, stick to the corners so that you can see Venom wherever he
might appear. Two shots of impact webbing or web glove combos will
cause him to disappear again (one if you're wearing the symbiote,
Captain Universe, or Spider-Man 2099 costumes). Be warned that if you
get in close, Venom may hit you hard with a punch attack or grab, lick,
and throw combo using the symbiote. After you take him down, Venom
heads into the sewers, so get ready for a brand new set of enemies.
Winning this battle also nets you the Ben Reilly costume.

TIDBIT: When Peter Parker believed he was a clone, he gave up being
Spider-Man to spend more time with his wife, Mary Jane, and his
daughter, May Parker. Ben Reilly officially took over being Spider-Man
and wore this costume. Reilly was eventually gored on the Green
Goblin's glider and turned to dust revealing that he was indeed the
clone created years ago by the Jackal.

15. Sewer Entrance (Comic #14)
Start out by following Venom and heading right through the large hole
in the wall. When you round the bend, your Spider-Sense will activate,
and you'll be forced to fight off two Lizardmen. Take care of them,
then go forward until you see the large open cavern and Spidey comments
on the lizardmen. After that, double back to the entrance of this
tunnel to get Comic #14, Spectacular Spider-Man #229. Swing from pipe
to pipe until you reach the doorway with a health icon. I highly
recommend equipping web gloves at this point. Once inside, the door
will close, leaving you to fight off four lizardmen. Beat 'em down,
and head for the other end of the cavern and the end of the level.

16. Sewer Cavern (Comic #15)
Swing forward from pipe to pipe until the game tells you to use L1
targeting. Walk to the end of the pipe, and, guess what, use L1 to
swing for the next pipe. Crawl around so you're facing the next pipe
and repeat. Don't swing for the next pipe here, though. Aim your
targeting behind the waterfall until it turns green. There's a hidden
room back here that contains two web cartridges, some armor, and Comic
#15, Spider-Man #1 (McFarlane-Silver). Again, just keep using L1
targeting until you reach the little pipe at the end and a doorway with
a health icon. Get your web gloves ready, 'cause inside there are four
more lizardmen, another health icon, and the level ends at the end of
the tunnel.

17. Subway
Not much to this one. Just stay on the subway, and keep close to the
Lizardmen. If you need health or webbing, face front and try to grab
the next icon that comes floating your way. If you're wearing the
Spider-Man Unlimited costume, press L2 to become invisible and not only
will you not have to fight, but you can also gather plenty of webbing.
At least four cartridges appear, so you can really stock up.

18. Sewage Plant (Comic #16)
When you start this level, three lizardmen are coming for you. You can
fight them, but I recommend just jumping over and avoiding them. Go
straight until you come to the end of the hall. Avoid the lizardmen
and go left to snag a web cartridge, a health icon and Comic #16,
Peter Parker: Spider-Man #1 (Reprint Version B). Go back down the hall
past where you turned left. You should pass another health icon.
Eventually, three lizardmen will drop from the ceiling. When you reach
the metal grating, zip-line up to enter a vent. If you go right you'll
have to fight two lizardmen. You might want to do that now, because
you have to do it sooner or later. To the left is a large whirlpool
and a switch. Use your trap webbing to hit the switch, then walk
slowly to the edge and use L1 targeting to look down and see when it's
safe to enter. Drop down and quickly walk straight ahead into the
small tunnel. If you're playing on Hard difficulty this can be very
tight. Zip-line up to the ceiling when you hit a dead-end. Straight
ahead is a room with three switches and a health icon. Grab the icon,
hit the switches and double back, where you'll face three more
lizardmen. Personally, I use impact webbing to knock them backwards
into the water here, but use whatever means you prefer. Hit the switch
again, and go back into the first vent. The dead-end by the lizardmen
is open now, so head through, hit the switch and use L1 targeting to
look down once more. Run through, zip-line up and there should be
another room with three switches and a health icon. This time,
however, there are also three lizardmen. Do whatever you have to in
order to finish them off, flip the switches, and head back to the first
vent, yet again. Drop down, and to your right a new path should be
open. Hit the switch, wait for the water to empty, drop down, and when
you see light coming from above zip-line up to end the level.

19. Hidden Switches (Comic #17)
Tiny little level. Run forward until you reach the water, then swing
left to reach a platform with a web cartridge to the right and a health
icon and a switch to the left. Hit the switch, then swing for the
platform on the other side of the room. Lizardmen will appear, but
just keep swinging back and forth to hit the switches and grab the
power-ups that appear. After you hit the fourth switch, you can exit
the level, but you should swing back to the third one and nab Comic
#17, Peter Parker: Spider-Man #1 (Reprint Version A). After that, drop
down to where the water used to be and head through the door to beat
this one.

20. Tunnel Crawl (Comic #18)
Go straight ahead at the beginning and you'll see Venom swing off to
the left. Follow him, avoid the lizardmen, and crawl through the
broken vent dead ahead. Push up, not right, to crawl forward. If
you're having trouble and keep drowning, stop at the brown line before
the tunnel slopes downward and wait for the water to start dropping
again before you move. On Hard difficulty, the timing is really close,
so I highly recommend stopping here even if you seem to have plenty of
time. Once that's over, avoid the two lizardmen, swing to the pipe,
and across to the opening with a web cartridge. Hit the switch to
lower the water level and Venom will bound past you. Jump down into
the new room, deal with the four lizardmen, and hit the switch on the
far side of the first box. Go around to the other side of the second
box to pick up Comic #18, Spectacular Spider-Man #158, then go through
the doorway that's now open on the far side of the room. Keep going
straight to finish the level.

21. Venom's Puzzle
Another really easy one. At the start, Venom will taunt you, and
disappear behind a set of four doors. The objective here is to open
the doors and catch him, so start off by turning around to face the big
open room with the waterfall. Walk in and Spidey will explain the
objective. The trick here is to go directly down two levels. Don't go
left or right, just drop off the ledge and hug the wall or web swing
back so that you are directly beneath your starting location. Do the
same thing again, and you should now be on a ledge with a switch. Push
it and the 2nd and 4th doors should open. Now, facing out into the
open cavern, the waterfall should be on your left. Use L1 targeting to
look up and to the left (near the waterfall) to spot and shoot another
switch, which will open the other two doors (Venom's taunt here is
great). Now, use R1 to zip line back up to the entrance, head back to
the start of the level and through the doors you just opened to the
right to end the level.

22. The Lizard's Maze (Comic #19)
Nail Venom here, and he'll disappear. Keep going straight, stick to
the ceiling when you have to and avoid the acid that's dripping. Watch
out for the slamming walls, and turn right at the next intersection.
You'll run into Venom again, so take him out and keep going. At the
end, you'll talk to the Lizard (YEAH! You actually talk to him! He
isn't psycho!) who tells you how to navigate the maze. Now, when you
turn around, Comic #19, Amazing Spider-Man #6, should be nearby.
Follow the Lizard's directions, and when you come to the third waterway
turn right. Venom should start verbally taunting you at this point.
At the next intersection it looks like Venom is a member of a set, and
took the time to do some tagging. Keep going straight past two sets of
slamming walls and pass the next intersection (to the left is an
immediate dead end, and to the right is another message from Venom.
Venom will appear if you go right, also.) At the second one, turn
right for another automated sequence and the end of the level.

23. Spidey vs. Venom Again!
This fight can be really frustrating at first, but once you figure out
the pattern it's actually easier than the first Venom fight. Right at
the start, Venom will hit the switch to raise the water level and drown
Mary Jane. Oh, the perils of being a superwife. Parasite kidnaps
Lois, GL's gal gets stuffed in a fridge. See, this is why Batman stays
a swingin' bachelor. Anyhow, hit the switch with a web line, and stick
to the center area so that you're ready for Venom wherever he shows up.
Also, take note that there are four switches here, one in each of the
cardinal directions, and Venom can appear next to any of them.
Furthermore, if you shoot at him, be careful not to hit the switch he's
standing by, or else you'll get the water moving, and Venom will block
you from turning it off. Use the same pattern from the first fight,
and peg him with impact webbing or web glove shots. If you need health
or webbing, there are some on the platforms around the room. Once he's
finished, cue Chris Jericho, 'cause you will never, eeeeeevvvvvvvver
face Venom a-gain, and get ready for my favorite FMV sequence and the
fifth GC.

24. Symbiotes Infest Bugle (Comic #20)
Your first taste of the nuisances known as symbiotes. Man, I wish we
could enlist the Protoss to wipe out their whole steenkin' planet.
Where's Galactus when you need him? Anyhow, start off by dealing with
the symbiote that's right next to you. After he's done, use trap
webbing to hit the switch and free your first hostage. Head to the
back corner to take out another symbiote in the narrow hallway, and
zip-line up to the vent to grab a web cartridge and Comic #20, Amazing
Spider-Man #42. Drop back down, and head right towards the windows at
the back of the room. They'll shatter and another hostage will be
freed. Kill the symbiote, or just head toward the grate at the back
(by the health icon) and zip-line up into the vent. Kill the symbiote
and drop down on the other side. To your left, there's a switch that
will free the final hostage. Head down the hallway toward the web
cartridge, fight or avoid another symbiote, turn right, and head for
the back right corner of this new room. There's another symbiote here,
as well as a switch that opens up the elevator shaft and ends the
level.

25. Elevator Descent (Comic #21)
Stay on the elevator until it stops. If you drop down, you'll have to
fight more symbiotes, and nobody wants that. Now, turn so that the
elevator is on the right-hand side of the screen. Jump towards the
wall in front of you, and crawl down in the middle. Two doors should
open. The one on the left contains a health icon and possibly Comic
#21, (I can't remember if this is the right doorway or not. If it
isn't here, it's in the left doorway later in the level). The switch
here is useless, so go back over to the door on the right. Kill the
symbiote, grab the web cartridge, and hit the switch to get the
elevator moving again. Now, wait until the elevator is completely
below you and jump back on top. Apparently, the Bugle's elevators'
external walls are made out of a frictionless surface, so Spidey can't
stick to 'em. More symbiotes will drop from above, and if you turn so
that the elevator is on the left-hand side of the screen, you'll see a
health icon in a small alcove in the wall after the elevator busts
through another layer of symbiote goo. Turn so the elevator is on the
right side again, and when the elevator stops again, drop down to the
next level. There are two more symbiotes here, as well as a health
icon. If you kill the symbiotes, the other elevator will drop, causing
the ground you're standing on to disappear. Just avoid them. There
are also two switches. The one on the left has a symbiote, a web
cartridge, and Comic #21 Amazing Spider-Man #100. Door number two
leads to the end of the level and the basement.

26. Stop the Presses (Comic #22)
Symbiotes, oh how we hate thee. The most obnoxious level thus far
starts with Spidey finding the source of the symbiotes in the building.
Destroy this first generator, then keep going straight. If you kill
the symbiotes before destroying the generator more will appear, so be
sure to take out the generators as soon as you see them. If you don't
destroy these symbiotes, they'll be waiting for you when you return to
this room, so take them out. Web gloves work well, but trap and impact
webbing are pretty much useless. Supposedly, you can throw them into
the printing presses using the web yank, but I can never get that to
work, so I just beat them down. Be careful; you'll die instantly if
you fall into the presses yourself. Past the stack of papers, there's
a web cartridge, and to the left is the second generator. Destroy it
and kill or avoid the symbiote. Head back into the first room, and a
new room has opened on the far left. Go inside, and if you need
webbing, there's a cartridge in between the third and fourth presses on
the ground floor. Past this row of presses is the third generator.
Take it out, kill the symbiote, and pick up the stack of papers to the
left to earn Comic #22, Amazing Spider-Man #50. Turn right, and go
into the first door on the left. When you enter, the symbiotes try to
steamroll you, so jump up and to the left to destroy the final
generator. The switch at the back of the room opens up a room
containing magnesium, which makes your webbing flamin' hot. This is
invaluable against the symbiotes, 'cause they hate fire. One shot of
impact webbing will drop 'em like a bad habit. Be careful though,
because another symbiote drops from the ceiling in here. Head back out
into the main room, and head to the upper row of printing presses dead
ahead. There's a health icon in between the first and second presses.
Drop down to your left, and head through the door. They'll try to
steamroll you again, so jump up and to the left to clear this stage.
The switch on the right hand side will only open the door, so don't
waste your time and risk your life.

27. Bugle's Basement (Comic #23)
Start out by going straight and killing the symbiote then taking your
first left. As you near the door, a pipe will burst and the door will
open. Jump over the steam, destroy the generator, kill the symbiote,
then flip the switch. Walk up to the furnace and use L1 targeting to
look up and web-swing to the ledge above. In the hidden room there's
magnesium, a web cartridge and a health icon. Drop back down and head
out into the first hallway. Make a left and cross the fire pit in
front of you. As soon as your Spider-Sense starts tingling, stop and
use L1 targeting to seal up the four pipes that explode (look for the
purple cross and hit triangle). When all four are done you'll get
Comic #23, Amazing Spider-Man #13. Head to the end of hall and go
right over the elevator. If you drop down, there's a health icon
inside, but there's also a symbiote, so you may want to avoid it. Make
a left at the intersection, and the last right at the end of the hall
before the furnace. There's a web cartridge here, but a symbiote will
drop from above when you get close. Take him out and zip-line up to
another room with a symbiote, a health icon and a switch. Flip the
switch, drop back down, go left, then left again. Destroy the
generator and grab the web cartridge; you're gonna need it. Turn
around, go left and run into a familiar face. Marvel (no pun intended)
at Spidey's mastery of the obvious, and the level will end.

28. Spidey vs. Mysterio! (Comic #24)
Really, really frustrating if you're in the original threads, not so
bad if you're wearing one of the three double damage Spider-Suits. At
the beginning, get ready for Mysterio to grab you and throw you all the
way down to the bottom. Avoid this by jumping or dropping down a
level. On the second level down, Ol' Fishbowl Head will attempt to
pound you with his fists, and on the bottom level or in the pit he'll
try to stomp you. Keep jumping or running to avoid these attacks, but
be careful not to jump straight up or his attack will succeed. Keep
your eyes open, because lots of health and webbing icons will appear
and disappear on the various levels. When Mysterio stops attacking,
he's summoning spiked wheels of death. Run toward the wheels and jump
over them when you get close. Be sure not to get stuck on the columns.
Stick to the center of each platform and you should be fine, but this
can be really annoying. Hammer away at the glowing conduits with
impact webbing (one shot will do take care of each of them if you're
wearing one of the double damage suits, two for a normal suit. Double
these numbers if you're playing on Hard.). After you take out all six,
head down to the bottom level to grab Comic #24, Amazing Spider-Man
#311, but beware the electrified floor. Now, head to the top level
where Mysterio fires laser beams out of his two conduits, and get as
far back as possible to launch more impact webbing. Destroy both of
these conduits and Mysterio will get physical again and try to grab
you. Stick to the same pattern of jumping and firing, but take note
that you also have to avoid the moving electrified floor. Beat him and
you're off to the warehouse and a meeting with the Punisher.

29. Waterfront Warehouse (Comics #25 & #26)
While the FMA is going on, take note of your surroundings. You can see
both generators in this room as well as several power-ups. I'm not
going to list them all here, except to say that if you zip-line up to
the ceiling you can get magnesium and other power-ups as well on the
catwalk. Take out the two generators, and remember, those canisters
are flammable, so throw them or shoot them with impact webbing to help
you take out the symbiotes. Just past the ground floor generator is
the hidden exit. There's a health icon up here. Drop down and head to
the left. When you turn the corner, a symbiote ambushes you, so let
him have it with a blast of hot impact web death. Destroy the
generator in the room ahead, turn around and take the left ahead. This
leads to the final room in the level. Drop down, destroy the
generators here, and search every nook and cranny for Comic #25,
Amazing Spider-Man #129. There are also more catwalk power-ups, so
grab those if you need to. When you're done, head out the ground floor
exit. Drop down the vent to reach a checkpoint, then drop to the
floor below. There's a grating over the fan, so don't worry about an
instant death. Go through the door, turn left, left again and drop
down another shaft. There's no grating over the next fan, so jump for
the right wall and drop or crawl down to the platform below. Follow
the path, but don't drop down the vent just yet. Ceiling crawl over to
the grating and use the punch button to open a hidden room containing a
web cartridge, health icon and Comic #26, Amazing Spider-Man #15. Now,
head back to the vent and drop down to end the level.

30. Underwater Trench (Comic #27)
Unquestionably, one of the three most frustrating and annoying levels
in the game. In the first room, you can find a web cartridge if you go
behind the pipe to your right. Go through the doorway, and get your
first taste of why this level sucks so bad. Swing for the platform
on the right, and take out the cannon or quickly jump for the platform
straight ahead. Jump and swing again to head for the next room. To
the left, there's a health icon behind the gear, and a web cartridge to
the right behind the pipe. Head into the next room, and again swing
for the platform on the right. There's a health icon here, and you
need to take out the cannon this time. Use L1 to swing up to the
platform above you to the left. Take out the cannon, and swing for the
platform dead ahead. Don't overestimate your swinging distance here.
Go for the one slightly to the right, then make a run for the goal. In
the next room, there's a web cartridge and a switch to the right, and a
health icon to the left. The switch opens up the hidden room where you
can find Comic #27, Amazing Spider-Man #2, but it's a big pain in the
butt to go back and get it. Be prepared if you choose to do so. The
method is the same, but uses more L1 targeting. If you took the time
to destroy the cannons the first time through, this is much easier to
do. Now, to finish the level head into the next room. This time, use
L1 targeting to swing over to the platform on the left. Swing to the
one to the right, destroy the cannon, then pray that your timing is
good and head for the one WAY ahead and to the left. From here, it's a
straight shot to the door. There's a web cartridge in this room, and
the walls aren't electrified so you can crawl straight across to the
exit.

31. Stopping the Fog (Comic #28)
After the last hellish level, this one is a downright treat. Head
straight for the center to grab some magnesium, then climb up the
center column for some armor. Also, you can climb down the center
column to find Comic #28, Spider-Man 2099 #1. Next, head for the only
door that has a green sign above it. Go inside to find the Black Cat,
and the switch that will open the other doors outside on the right hand
side of this room. Head to each of the lettered rooms (A, B and C,
they now have green signs above them also), and flip the switches in
the center of the rooms. After you hit all three, the Cat will be
freed, and you'll automatically move on to face the not-so-shocking
mastermind of this nefarious scheme.

32. Spidey vs. Doc Ock! (Comic #29)
Repeat after me: easy, easy, easy! Keep running around in a circle
until a section of the floor turns yellow and one of the switches drops
down. Repeat this four times jumping over the force walls that appear
and the shield will drop. Put on your web gloves, and beat him like a
red-headed step-child. When the shield regenerates, Comic #29, Amazing
Spider-Man #3, will appear, but it disappears quickly, so be on the
lookout. Keep repeating this same pattern, and the Doctor will go down
with barely a whimper.

TIDBIT: Dr. Octopus once dated Peter's Aunt May, and almost found out
Spidey's secret identity. Dr. Octavius is also Marvel Comic's foremost
expert on radiation. So much so that Reed Richards, the Fantastic
Four's Mr. Fantastic, once sought out his expertise to save the life of
Sue Storm's unborn child.

33. Spidey vs. Carnage! (Comic #30)
Carnage has some powerful attacks, but if you know what you're doing or
get lucky, he's the easiest boss in the game. The trick is to keep him
in the sound bubble in the center of the room. To get him there,
either web him up and knock him in with a punch or kick combo, or push
him back with a burst of impact webbing. Once he's in there, let the
sound bubble do its thing, and once it's expended, keep him in place
with some trap webbing. If you're wearing one of the unlimited webbing
suits, hold down the triangle button and he can't do a thing. Remember
to grab Comic #30, Amazing Spider-Man #33, which will appear in the
center of the sonic bubble. Also, don't put too much distance between
Carnage and Spidey, or Carnage will launch a leaping attack that can
kill you in one shot. Web cartridges and health icons will show up
periodically, so make a dash if you need to. This is the last battle,
but watch the FMV, and you're off to the final level.

34. Spidey vs. Monster-Ock! (Comics #31 & #32)
Imagine the Underwater Trench level is a Jawa. If so, then this level
is the Rancor. Again, not much to say here, 'cause this level is so
freakin' long and repetitive, but there are a few useful tips I can
give that I hope will help. 1. Web swing whenever you can. It covers
ground much faster than jumping or walking. 2. Whenever you come to
what seems to be a dead-end, use R1 to zip-line up to the ceiling and
enter the next level. 3. Never, ever stop moving. Should be self-
evident, but your only goal here is to get outta Dodge. 4. At the
first bend, you can grab Comic #31, Amazing Spider-Man #252. 5. About
3/4 of the way through the level, Comic #32, Amazing Fantasy #15,
appears on level 2.

Sit back and enjoy a job well done while you watch the humorous ending.
Some purists will probably be offended by the FMVs here, but I've been
reading comics for 18 years now, and I enjoyed it, so don't write me to
tell how much you hated it. If you beat the game on Hard, you'll earn
the Captain Universe and Symbiote costumes. If you managed to snag all
32 comic covers, you'll also earn the Spider-Man 2099 costume, for a
grand total of five extra costumes on one run through. Not too shabby.

list them in the next update.

1- Bank Approach: On top of Four Freedoms Plaza (The Fantastic Four
building).
NOTE: The location changes in What If? Mode (see cheats section), but I
haven't managed to find it yet. In What If? Mode, the Human Torch is
on top of the building and he talks to you.

2- Hostage Situation: Under the chair in one of the cubicles. The area
where there are bank thugs and three hostages after the first vent and
room with three switches.

shoot impact webbing at the blue section of the wall.

10- Spidey vs. Rhino!: Destroy every barrel on the level. The comic
will appear in the middle of the electric fence.

11- Catch Venom: Head left as soon as you get to the building that's
under construction (Venom stops here before the automated sequence
inside the building).

12- Catch Venom: On the right-hand side of the roof of the second
building after the automated sequence.

13- Spidey vs. Venom!: Lift the car.

14- Sewer Entrance: Fight your way to the big open cavern, then return

and hit the switch. Go back to the room shown in the FMA.

28- Stopping the Fog: Climb down the center column to a hidden room.

29- Spidey vs. Doc Ock: Appears after Doc Ock's shield regenerates the
first time. It doesn't appear for very long, so grab it quickly.

and disappears.

31- Spidey vs. Monster-Ock!: At the first bend in the pipe.

32- Spidey vs. Monster-Ock!: About 3/4 of the way through the level, on
level 2.
==========================================================
G. Spider-Suits (SPOILERS)

Spider-man 2099: Collect every Comic throughout the game. (Double
Damage)
TIDBIT: Miguel O'Hara became the Spider-Man of the future when his boss
genetically bonded the illegal substance known as Rapture to his DNA.
A scientific genius, O'Hara tried to restore his original genetic
sequence but was thwarted when his natural code was combined with that
of a spider.

Symbiote Spider-man: Finish the game on any difficulty level.
(Unlimited Webbing)
NOTE: Although it isn't officially listed as a power, the symbiote suit
seems to do double damage. I only needed one impact webbing shot to
destroy Mysterio's conduits, and one web glove combo to destroy the
symbiotes as opposed to two with the normal suit.
TIDBIT: Peter Parker gained the symbiotic suit during the Secret Wars
when he used a machine that he thought would repair his costume.
Instead, it bonded him with an alien creature. This symbiote fed off
Peter's energy, and would take him out while asleep to swing around New
York. Parker almost died when he entered a bell tower to try and free
himself from the symbiote. He succeeded, but the symbiote would later
join a more willing host, Eddie Brock, and the two would form Venom,
arguably the most dangerous member of Spidey's rogue gallery.

Captain Universe: Beat the game on Hard. (Double Damage, Unlimited
Webbing and Invincibility)
NOTE: The Captain Universe suit sucks the challenge out of the game
like a Hoover on hardwood. The biggest benefit is being able to take
the time to spot all the little hidden extras like the Wolverine and
Hulk signs during the Missile Attack level.
TIDBIT: When Spider-Man gained the powers of Captain Universe, he was
so powerful that he threw the Incredible Hulk into orbit. You try
tossing a guy who weighs half a ton so hard he achieves escape
velocity.

Spidey Unlimited: Beat the game a second time on any difficulty level.
(Invisibilty. Press L2 to become invisible, just like Solid Snake and
Sue Storm. Doesn't work on bosses or the police chopper.)

Scarlet Spidey: Beat Rhino. (No special abilities)

Ben Reilly: Beat Venom the first time. (No special abilities)

Quick Change Spidey: Score more than 10,000 points in the Zip-Line
training course. This suit limits you to two web cartridges.
NOTE: Not that any of you probably care, but this costume is very
similar to my Halloween costume for this year, 'cause, that's right,
I'm a big dork. I'm actually doing "Spider-Sense Tingling Spider-Man,"
and half my body will be Peter, while the other half will be Spidey,
complete with black things sticking out of the mask side. I rule!

Peter Parker: Find the Kraven room in the Item Hunt training course.
This suit also limits you to two web cartridges.
NOTE: Grab all the Spider Tokens above ground, head underground and
through the "?" door (under door #4). You have to accomplish all this
in less than one minute.
Special thanks to Im Unknown and TroySch1 for this tip.

Amazing Bag Man: As far as I know, this costume is only available if
you enter the cheat code (see the cheats section). This suit also
limits you to two web cartridges.
TIDBIT: This is the costume Spidey wore after visiting the Fantastic
Four when he first freed himself from the Symbiote costume. The FF
loaned him a spare uniform and a paper bag to help him conceal his
secret identity on the trip home. A very cool addition to the game.

H. Wish List

With the open-ended finale, it's almost certain that there will be a
sequel if this game is a hit. So, what do I want to see in it?

1. Swimming. He can swim in the comics, why not here?

2. Aunt May. C'mon, she's the most important character in Petey's
life.

3. A real Doc Ock fight. The one in this game is lame. I wanna fight
Ock and his tentacles, not Ock and his force field.

4. The Green Goblin. Dig this: the final battle spanning multiple
rooftops with Spidey and his webs, and the Goblin on his glider. Two
words: Pumpkin Bombs!

5. Morbius. Mist and claws, baby!

6. A fight against the Lizard. It was nice to see Dr. Connors in this
game, but I wanna beat the Lizard's scaly tail all over the sewers o'
New York.

7. Electro. A power plant battle featuring lots of dodging and
electricity to show off Spidey's agility.

8. The Sandman. Hammer shaped fists, and you never know where he'll
pop up next.

9. Cloak and Dagger. Some of Spidey's true allies.

10. More costumes! Specifically, the costumes Spidey wore during the
"Identity Crisis" storyline (Ricochet, Dusk, Prodigy and Hornet). For
those of you not familiar with this story, all of them had Spidey's
powers (Peter was wearing the suits, after all), but Ricochet had
throwing disks, Dusk could teleport through the Negative Zone (read an
issue of Fantastic Four for more info on this), Prodigy enhanced
Spidey's strength, and Hornet could shoot and fly. Spidey wore these
costumes to hide out when Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, put a
bounty on Spidey's head for the murder of small time hood Joey Z.
Naturally, Spidey was being framed (the Trapster, formerly *snicker*
Paste Pot Pete, was the actual murderer).

11. Better dodging/fighting engine. Spidey's famous for his handspring
move, yet it doesn't appear at all in the game. He should be able to
flip all over the place and launch into attacks directly from dodges.
Agility is one of his trademarks, after all.

12. Kraven. 'Nuff said.

Bottom Line: This was a fantastic game, so the small faults weren't a
big deal at all. The great thing about Spider-Man is that he has one
of the best rogue galleries (in my opinion, only the X-Men and Batman's
are even close) in all of comics, so there are still plenty of villains
to use, and each of them can be associated with a cool, original
battle. The PS2 and Spider-Man 2 can't come soon enough.
