Players control Spider Man from a third person perspective and can perform web swings, acrobatic combat, and puzzle solving across a city environment that includes Manhattan and surrounding areas. The game presents a series of missions that align with the film storyline and also offers side challenges such as collecting hidden items and defeating optional enemies. Highlights of the experience include the ability to upgrade Spider Man’s powers, a dynamic combat system that rewards timing and chain attacks, and the inclusion of bonus material on the DVD such as concept art and developer commentary. The DVD edition contains the full game on disc and provides additional content for fans.
