Description :
Spider-Man is the first 3D game to star the popular web-slinger. It is loosely based on
Spider-Man: The Animated Series and
Spider-Man Unlimited and features some of the voice cast from each and similar character designs.
Peter Parker is attending a demonstration of the reformed Dr. Otto Octavius's new invention when an imposter Spider-Man steals the device. Spider-Man must work to clear his name and uncover the sinister motives behind the device's theft.
This game features appearances not only by most major Spider-Man characters, but cameos by numerous other characters from the Marvel Universe, such as the Human Torch, Punisher, Daredevil and Captain America.
Spider-Man's webs are greatly emphasized. He can use them both for navigational purposes, like swinging or ziplining, and for offensive and defensive combat, such as tying up a villain, coating his fists with web for extra oomph, or building a protective shield. His web supply is limited though and he must find new cartridges or risk running out. The wall-crawling powers are also prominently features. Spider-Man can cling to any wall or ceiling. This is used for basic environmental navigation and for stealth as there are many sequences where you crawl over the heads of unsuspecting thugs, or drop down and catch them off-guard.
Combat is based around Spider-Man's ability to jump, kick, punch and web. By combining these with direction and in various combinations, Spider-Man is able to throw objects such as furniture, hurl web balls, yank enemies into melee range and follow up with a flurry of hits, among other things. There are a number of boss-battles as well, all of which are puzzle-based.
Missions vary from the fairly common fight-your way-to-the-goal or find-the-key-that-unlocks-the-door types to races to catch some or evade them or just trying to avoid the police.
There are several side goals in addition the main mission including multiple unlockable Spider-Man costumes and numerous hidden comic book covers to find.

Trivia :
- Spider-Man uses the same game engine as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Spidey also was a hidden character in THPS2.
- In the "Race to the Bugle!" Level, during Stan Lee's narration you can see a fiery image drive up the building. Once the level starts and you head out, you will see it again.
The figure is Ghost Rider. And his cameo is exclusive to the Dreamcast version of the game.

Hint: Easy training:
Enable the "Invincibility" and "Unlimited webbing" codes, then do a training mission. This is the easiest way to unlock Quick-Change Spidey.
Hint: Strong move:
Note: this only works in indoor levels or levels with a ceiling. Zip up to the ceiling, and crawl over to an enemy. Make sure they do not see you, and they cannot move around too much. Make sure your shadow (the white dot that appears on the floor when you are on the ceiling) is on the enemy, and the red triangle that makes Spidey aim at an enemy is on the same person. Then, zip down, and in the middle, repeatedly tap
[Kick]. The kick should do a large amount of damage or kill the enemy. Note: This requires precise timing.
Hint: Dodging missiles:
In the missile attack level, the missiles can only hit you if you are on the completely boarded up windows. Avoid them and you will not get hit.
Hint: Defeating Rhino:
While fighting Rhino, stand by an electrified pillar. When he starts to charge, hide behind the pillar. He will get shocked and Spidey will make a smart comment. Alternately, you can have him charge the barrels, and jump when he is near. This is the best way to get the comic.
Hint Defeating Scorpion:
When fighting Scorpion under the hard difficulty setting, fight him as much as possible until JJJ runs into the other room. If you attack Scorpion and quickly run back into the other room, he will not go after Spidey. Use the "Web Ball" attack with Symbiote Spidey or Captain Universe, as they have unlimited webbing.
When you are fighting Scorpion for the first time, just sling him with your web, then punch or kick him one or two times. Then, jump away and you will also throw furniture at him.
Hint: Level 1.1: What if mode Neversoft reference:
The building with the long trench down the middle of the roof and a thug has "Neversoft" written across it in neon letters.
Hint: Level 2.1: What If mode JJJ suicide:
Get to the Bugle (where Scorpion is after JJJ). They play Marco Polo. If you let JJJ die, he offers to throw himself out the window.
Hint: Level 5.3: Hidden room:
In level 5.3 (the level before Mysterio, downstairs in the Daily Bugle), you have to destroy two Symbiote generators and then find the imposter Spider-Man-Mysterio. After finding the first generator and destroying it, find the second one. The wall behind the second generator is holographic. It does not appear so, but when you try to climb it, you will go right through. Two web cartridges and one flame cartridge are inside.
Hint: Police Chase level: What If mode Spidey Armor:
On the second part to the Police Chase in What If mode, there is a crane to the extreme far right. Look at it to see a pumpkin and the word "BOMB" on the side. Swing to it to find an open hatch. Jump inside to find the secret lair of Green Goblin, where you can get a Spidey Armor.
Hint: Sewer Chase: What If mode lizard droppings:
On the first part of the Sewer Chase, you will be trapped in a little tunnel. About five lizard monsters will run up to you. When they or you get closer, you will hear a farting noise. One of the lizard monsters will have made some droppings.
Hint: Waterfront Warehouse level: What If mode hidden armor:
Go to the waterfront warehouse in "What If" mode. When you start, there will be a stack of boxes next to you with one of the generators on it. Go past this stack to find a box that appears different from the rest. You can take off the cover of the box just by doing the same action to lift objects. Inside the box is Spidey armor and "The Ark Of The Covenant".
Hint: Waterfront Warehouse level: What if mode No-Prize envelope:
When you first enter the Waterfront Warehouse level, go to the left and jump up on the boxes. The boxes on top will have the Marvel Comics "No-Prize" envelope wording on them.
Hint: Make Spider-Man sleep:
Start the game in "What If" mode and do not do anything. Spider-Man will eventually will shoot a web straight up, cling on it, and start sleeping. Note: This only happens in indoor levels, or in levels with a ceiling.
Hint: Practice fighting:
When being chased by the N. Y. P. D. in What If mode, there will be a gold U.F.O. Swing on to it. It will help you practice fighting.
