==|___/|_|  |_|========================================================
Hey, everyone! Remember me? I'm the one that wrote the Spider-Man guide
for the old Playstation game that so many people were fans of. Well,
when Spider-Man 2 came, I figured I'd write a guide, but never got
around to it. Now, I'm back in my second Spidey guide! And, as many of
you know, I have Spidey experience!
This game rules all! For one thing, there is no more fog in the city
levels like in the older games. And, you can web swing anywhere, not
just when you're facing a building. Also, the city levels don't seem to
be a straight path! Awesome!
Actually, this game takes place way before the last, at the very
beginning of Spidey's career. It stars the famous Green Goblin, the air-
wave vibrating Shocker, the crusty Vulture, and the government-paranoid
Scorpion! The very beginning is based off the new Spider-Man movie
(which I saw the day it came out, and loved so much) but at about level
five it branches on its own.
Bah, enough of my babble! Let's get onto the guide. Have fun, and may
the webs be with you! Ahhhh, it's good to be back...
-Tobey
P.S. In the last guide, everyone seemed to love the "Favorite Quotes"
section, so I'll compile a list of my favs and add it here in the next
update!

That's it! If I catch you with it on your site if you're not gamefaqs,
cheatcc, or cheathappens you'll be in for serious trouble. I WILL catch
you, you WILL be sorry, and you WILL pay the consequences! There! I said
it.
If you do not plan on posting this on gamefaqs.com, cheatcc.com, or
cheathappens.com, but some other whatever.com, I will write out a polite
e-mail asking you to please remove it. If you fail to do so, I will be
forced to take it to court and press charges. GameFAQs even states that
suing a website for posting your FAQ without permission is easy, and the
owner of the FAQ can easily win. Plagiarism is already bad, so don't add
to the problem. Got it? You're smart, intelligent people, so just be
smart.
Also, certain e-mails I won't accept. If you scream and shout at me,
writing something like: You (insert explicitive here), you said you can
kill (insert enemy here) in (insert #) shots and it took me (insert
another #) you little (insert various explicitives here)!!! You're not
cute, no one's laughing, and you're obviously not very mature. And I
don't have anything to say to you if you talk to me like that. However,
if you have anything DECENT to contribute, feel free to drop me a line
at Jetstorm777@aol.com anytime!

privilege. You're not allowed to put advertising banners up, or anything
else. Just leave it as it is. You may spell-check or add things, put
please please please DO NOT take ANYTHING out, and this Disclaimer must
remain intact.
You may not sell this FAQ, or in any other way shape or form make money
off this FAQ at all. I believe that part is clear. Next!
Plagiarism is against the law. You know that. I know I repeat myself,
but I stress upon the fact that you leave my FAQ be and if you want to
copy, go look at a dictionary. Copying someone else's work without
acknowledging he/she made it is a crime and it will be forced, and you
will pay the price.
REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND ME AN E-MAIL WITH POOR GRAMMAR, YOU WILL *NOT* GET
A RESPONSE FROM NOW ON! I'm sick of reading: "I need help but I'm not
sure and by the way your guide is cool sweet and lke it do you know how
to help me?" No, that's not going to cut it. I want neat, properly
written letters so that I can actually READ and UNDERSTAND it! NO MORE
GIBBERISH! Also, please put "Spider-Man the Movie Guide" in the title to
help me. I get too many guide questions from my other guides to try to
organize what question is for what game.

Version 0.4
-----------
Completed: 5/31/02
Okay, thanks for everyone's quotes. I got quite a few of them, so I've
added those. Also did some spell-checking again. Oh, I also put in some
more FAQs!
NEWS~5/14
---------
Okay, there has been talk lately of a "God Mode", in which you are
invincible. Well, there was going to be one in the game, but it was
(sadly) yanked out at the last minute before the developers sent the
game to be put out on shelves. Therefore, there is no God Mode of any
sort that we know of right now. I'll keep you guys posted right here in
the Newsroom of anything I can get on the subject.
Version 0.3
-----------
Completed: 5/14/02
Okay, I added a "FAQ" section, and updated the ToC yet again. I also
fixed some more minor errors and added some new info to the "My
Preference" part of the Controls. Oh, and I added some things to the
Walkthrough. I'm also proud to say that cheatcc and cheathappens asked
to use the guide!
Version 0.2
-----------
Completed: 5/13/02
Changed ToC, changed this section to "Newsroom", and made a few minor
corrections. I also added the "Favorite Quotes" section. Thanks to
Marveling One and theninjamaster for contributing their favorite quotes
on the boards!
Version 0.1
-----------
* Started: 5/5/02
* Completed: 5/12/02
I have written the entire Walkthrough, and all sections are complete.
I'm taking submissions for Favorite Quotes to add to the returning

Stick, you will throw your victim like a battering ram!
MY PREFERENCE
-------------
I prefer the Enhanced Controls. It took me some time to get used to the
new scheme from the old games, but it'll be great once you do. Try it
out, and use Classic if you don't like it. Enhanced gives you more
control, so try it first. The way I remembered the new web attacks as
opposed to the old ones was simple. L was always in the combo, so that
was out of the way. B gives you Web Spikes because it punches normally,
and Web Spikes improve your punches. Y shoots Impact Web because it
looks like an opening on an arm, and that's how Spidey shoots Impact
Webbing. X does Web Dome because it lets no one in, or blocks them out.
And A is the only one left, so it Web Yanks! Simple, no?

This guide may or may not meet your standards. Here, I will describe
what will be in the Walkthrough. It is written in the Normal mode, and
as if you kind of know your way around. You should know what the Spidey
Compass is, the Height meter, etc. Also, you have no codes on, playing
normally through the game.
Now, I will only direct you through the basic bonus, level completion,
and will only guide through Stealth if needed. However, I do give Golden
Spider locations, to help you get your new combos!
Since I point out combos right in the guide where you would normally
find them, you'll know there is one near when you see this come up:
"COMBO ALERT" in capital letters like that. Read the description to find
the combo.
There are four things to watch for: "WARNING!" will describe a warning
that is usually fatal if left not taken care of. "NOTE!" and "REMEMBER!"
will tell you something you should remember, and "TIP!" will give a tip
on doing something that I just described.
Also, remember than this guide is written as if you were using the
Enhanced Controls.

==|___/|_|  |_|========================================================
1. Search For Justice
Peter's uncle has just been murdered. You're raging, ready to take out
anyone and anything that gets in your way until you stop that killer.
Good thing you are half-spider. Peter scales the wall of a large
building and changes into his wrestling costume as quickly as he can,
within the confines of a small gargoyle on top of the roof. Now, it's
time for you to take over. Jump from the gargoyle and activate your Web
Swing. Use the Control Stick to steer in the direction that the Spider-
Compass is pointing. Remember to use the Height Meter to find your
target. You are in red, and your target is in blue. You'll have to head
forward and down from your starting position.
COMBO ALERT: Field Goal (B, B, X) - From your starting position, drop
down and climb back up. The combo is hidden beneath the gargoyle you
start on. (You can even see it in the beginning cutscene).
COMBO ALERT: Web Hit (B, B, Y) - From your starting position, jump and
swing to the left, and continue until you hit a very tall beige building
and when your Compass is pointing in almost the exact opposite direction
of where you need to go. Land and you'll find two Thugs to handle. The
Combo is in a nook on this rooftop. It shouldn't take long to find.
Follow the Spider-Compass to the building below and in front of the
starting point. Land and handle both Thugs on the building. The Question
Mark will explain fighting tips. Once you dispatch both Thugs, Peter
will realize that these guys don't want to talk. So, your Compass points
out a new location. Off we go! Follow the Compass and use your Height
Meter to get up to the high building. The Control Stick works well when
you need to change your height, and the faster Web Swing works wonders.
Land and engage both Thugs. They shouldn't pose much of a threat, so
you'll have them down fast. Try your new Combos to get used to them.
Now, these guys also know nothing/won't talk, so you'll have to move on.
Follow your Spidey-Compass to the next building. This time, however, the
rooftop is infested with three Thugs.
WARNING!: One of them has a gun!
TIP!: I recommend keeping your distance and using the Web Hit, or your
Web Yank. You could also come in with quick Web Spike attacks.
Not much more to go! Follow your Compass to the last roof, kill all
three Thugs (remember that one has a gun), and you'll trigger a
cutscene. Peter catches a Thug that was trying to get away. He manages
to force the information he needs out of the flunky. Your last location
now comes up on the Compass. Use the fast Web Swing and Height Meter to
find the Blue Spider that ends the level.
TIP!: Using the fast Web Swing can aid in completing this level quickly.
2. Warehouse Hunt
Now that you've found the warehouse where Uncle Ben's killer is hiding,
you can travel through and find the murdering scumbag. After Peter
automatically crawls in through the door, go to the door ahead and on
the right wall. Walk through the door and walk down the stairs.
COMBO ALERT: Back-Flip Kick (B, X, X) - When you reach the bottom of the
stairwell, you'll see the Combo Icon before you find the door.
Okay, exit and door, and Zip-Line up to the ceiling once you exit to
make sure that the Thugs don't see you. When you are in the shadows
(Spider-Man's head icon in the corner will be blue), you are invisible
to all Thugs. There is some Health and Web-Fluid on the catwalks hanging
from the ceiling if you need it later.
NOTE!: If you don't want to be stealthy, you can just beat all the thugs
in the room. Works every time!
Exit through the door on the wall opposite where you came in, making
sure to avoid detection if you want to be stealthy. When the Thugs are
turned so they can't see you, drop and run through the door.
REMEMBER!: You only need to avoid detection in that room. You can be
seen in the others, just not that one.
Thugs will attack you when you enter. Use Field Goal to dispatch every
one. Get to the next room by going through the garage door on the far
wall. Once you get through, some Skulls will notice you. Everyone knows
you're there now. When you enter, the killer runs through a garage door
and locks it behind him. The Skull controlling the panel that opens the
garage door rips the Fuse that operates it and you've got to catch him.
Zip-Line up to the ceiling to make the Thugs lose you. While they're
busy, jump down behind the semi-trailer and land. As soon as you do,
walk forward and Zip-Line to the ceiling to avoid the forklift that
tries to ram you. When it explodes, drop down. You'll find a grating
past where it exploded. Dodge the Skulls and zip up into it. Since they
can't zip after you, you'll won't have to face them right now! Work your
way through the vent and you'll see that an electrical barrier is
blocking your way. Take the other path and drop down. Flip the switch on
the far wall to turn off the power and Zip back into the vent. Drop from
the vent and you'll see the control panel where that Skull ripped out
the Fuse you need. Now you'll have to teach him a lesson! Leave through
the only door in the room and take out the two Thugs behind it. There is
a grating on the floor, so remember this location. Continue down and
you'll see a door. The Skull that took the Fuse is behind it, but it's
locked. Check around to the left of it to find some Webbing and an open
vent. Grab the Webbing if you need it and then jump into the vent.
Continue through and jump out the end, then flip the switch in this
room. Go back into the vent and return to that vent you were supposed to
remember. Zip back into it and follow it until you reach the end. The
Thug with the fuse will be in here. He takes quite a beating, but he'll
go down once you give him some good, solid hits. Retrieve the Fuse and
head back to the room where the control panel was. Replace the fuse with
B and head back into the first shaft you went in. Now, when you drop
down, you'll be attacked by the Thugs you left behind. I find that the
Web Dome works wonders. Wait until they get close and then cover
yourself. Do this a few times and they'll go down. Since you don't need
any webbing for the rest of this level, don't hesitate to use it. If you
don't want to do that, the Mid-air Kick/Punch work well. Or, you can
hang out on the ceiling and shoot down Impact Webbing. Your call.
Anyway, go through the door the killer went into and defeat every Thug
you come across to end the level.
3. Birth Of A Hero
Almost there! There is a vent cover on the ground of the room you start
it, so Zip into it. Follow the twists and turns until you reach the
exit. Drop down and be ready to fight. There are many Skulls down here,
and one guy's got a sub-machine gun. If you down him first with a Web
Dome or something, I find the other so much easier. Also, don't forget
to take cover if you're getting your but kicked. Duck behind some crates
and let the Thugs come to YOU! Once you're done with them, leave through
the door that has a question mark in it. After the explanation, enter
Look Around Mode and wait until the steam from the pipes stops. When it
does, zip through the room and drop from the wall. Continue down the
hall and walk through the door at the end.
COMBO ALERT: Handspring (X, A, A) - At the end of the hall, in front of
the door, you'll find the obviously placed combo. ;)
COMBO ALERT: Advanced Web Dome (Y Button + Right/L Button + X Button
twice) - You can grab the Advanced Web Dome (which I highly recommend)
if you sneak through the room previous to the steam one on the ceiling
to avoid detection. You'll find the Advanced Web Dome just before the
steam room if you avoided detection.
In the next room, you'll be attacked by a flood of Skulls, some of which
have guns.
WARNING!: The guns take a huge bite out of your Health, so be careful!
When you've killed each one, check around for the Key one should have
dropped, and pick it up. Grab the Health and Web-Fluid Spiders above you
if need be, and then go through the door in a corner of the large room.
Go up the stairs and avoid the steam. When you reach the top, you've
finally found what you came for.
BOSS FIGHT - Uncle Ben's Killer
-------------------------------
As soon as you reach the top of the staircase, the little murderer will
shoot you with a powerful shotgun. Zip-Line to the ceiling to avoid it.
Crawl into the next room and stay on the ceiling. He'll run around
below, repeating that he can hear you, and screaming about not knowing
where you are. Get a lock on him and get ready for payback. If you drop
down, he'll blast you with his gun, and on the ceiling, he runs away
from you, only shooting if he finds you, so I recommend staying on the
ceiling. There are girders you can stand on just below the ceiling if
you like. I like webbing him up and then using the Web Yank to smack him
into things. Impact Webbing works wonders as well.
NOTE!: If you need Health or Webbing, there are regenerating amounts in
the corners of the room, on the ceiling.
I've also found an equally as good way after some experimenting, but a
bit more dangerous. First, crawl on the ceiling until you find him.
Then, drop onto a girder, but make sure you keep him in sight. Equip Web
Spikes and then drop down. Lock-on to him and avoid the shot that he
first. Come in quick for some punishment with your Spikes. Then, Zip
back to the ceiling.
WARNING!: When doing that last method, you MUST avoid his shotgun fire.
If you get more than three or four times, you'll be gone. Make sure to
replenish your Health before you die.
4. Oscorp's Gambit
Now that Peter appears in his famous red-and-blue suit for the remainder
of the game, rather than his ratty old wrestling costume, he needs to
earn some money for Spidey pictures, since they seem to be hot news.
Well, this is a cover-up for control instructions, but you'd better
follow them anyway. The first thing Peter figures he should do is
photograph himself web-swinging. You don't have to be fancy about it,
just launch from the roof and activate the Web Swing! After Peter's
automatic camera snaps a few shots, you've got to perform an aerial
stunt. You need to cut your line and begin swinging in the opposite
direction. So, press A and Down on the Control Stick to spin around.
Then, tap R again to start up your swing. Next, land on the building you
started on and wait for instructions. Peter says to lock-on to a target
balloon, so start swinging and then lock-on to the balloon a bit ahead
of the building. Once you've done that, you'll need to attack it. While
near it and when the target arrows are green, cut your line and perform
a Mid-air Kick at it. Swing back to the building you started on and
touch the Spider Symbol to end this section. Now that you've got some
pictures, it's time to head back to the Bugle. However, on his way back,
Spidey runs into some Hunter Killer robots, and that can only mean
trouble. You'll have to destroy all the robots that come in waves. Once
you do, Spidey's path will be clear!
5. The Subway Station
When Spidey arrives at a subway days later, because he heard of an
attack there, he has a meeting with a big, green bird that flies away,
and Spidey is unable to catch him. Spidey notices the Shocker going into
the subway, and follows him down. When he arrives inside the subway,
Shocker runs away, and Spidey notices some civilians being beaten by
Shocker's men. Now you have to stop them. At the very beginning, a
security guard is being beaten up by three Thugs. Jump over there and
intervene with some webs and your strong feet.
COMBO ALERT: Scissor Kick (X, B, X) - Before you finish all Shocker's
goons off, check the side of the subway, behind the walls to the side to
find this useful attack. Try it out on some of the baddies.
COMBO ALERT: High Web Hit (B, X, Y) - Before you finish all Shocker's
goons off, zip up to the ceiling and check around here. You'll find the
High Web Hit up there.
Once you've taken out every enemy, Spider-Man's spider-sense will go off
for the first time! It flashes ahead of him and shows a thug guarding
the doorway. Past that, there is a security guard having some villain
trouble. And even farther into the subway, is a civilian being brutally
beaten by a thug. Then, it zaps back out to Peter. You've got to save
them. They're more important than catching Shocker! Follow the Spidey-
Compass and swing to the doorway. Take the thug in the doorway down and
continue through until you come to the security guard. Web the thug up
and get to the weaker civilian, and rescue him first. Then, go back for
the guard. Actually, the security guard can almost hold his own in a
fight. Once you do that, your spider-sense will again go off at full-
blast. This time, a security guard is being attacked by two of Shocker's
cronies. Once the cinematic ends, follow your Spider-Compass to their
location. Dispatch the two thugs and then Spider-Man will swing onto a
pillar. When Shocker shows up, Spidey makes a few sarcastic attempts at
guessing his name, eventually coming up with "The Cushion". Shocker (for
it is he) tries to buy himself some time by blasting the pillar Spider-
Man in on. Spidey quickly jumps away, but a hapless civilian is a
different story. Talking on his cell phone, he never notices the pillar.
When you regain control, swing to him and pick him up with B. Turn
around and swing to the Spider-Pad on the ground. Place him back down
and then you've saved him. Shocker is gone, but three of his friends
aren't. Beat them off with a Handspring and some fist fighting, only to
have your spider-sense go off at full-tilt again. Two security guards
are being attacked deeper into the terminal. Use the Compass and follow
the long passage to their location. Once you kill every Thug around the
security guard, Shocker blasts a hole in the floor, fleeing from Spider-
Man, but not before cursing that little bug. He and a few buddies drop
down the hole in terror. Of course, Spider-Man relentlessly follows.
6. Chase Through The Sewer
Now that Shocker is in the sewers, he thinks he's safe from good old
Spider-Man. He's wrong. He'll start out by sending some of his goons
after you, just as you drop in, running behind a door himself. When you
gain control, kill the Thugs that are coming at you and move down the
hall. Once you exit the hall into a more open area, there'll be a
stronger-than-average-thug to your left. Use Web Yanks and Impact Webs
to take him down. Once he croaks, grab the Key he dropped and progress
through the door behind you. Through the door you'll find a long channel
of water...
NOTE!: Water is no longer lethal to Spidey, so feel free to splash
around in it!
...and no one in sight. Jump and swing to the left, and go down the
tunnel. To the left you'll find an alcove with Health and to the right
you'll find a big opening. Drop in here and enter the tunnel ahead. Two
Thugs will attack you when you walk in.
WARNING!: One has a gun, so take him out first. He's the one to your
left when you walk in!
Once they're down, grab the Webbing if you need it and continue down the
only hallway. When you emerge into a large room, two Thugs will come at
you. Kill both of them and then jump to the level right under you. There
are two guys down here that have guns. Kill them both (aided by a Web
Dome) and then flip the switches on both sides.
TIP!: There is some Webbing in the center of the room on the catwalk if
you need it after the fight since you used Web Dome.
Drop down into the center area to be attacked by the last guy. He's
stronger than your run-of-the-mill thug, but a couple Handsprings and
some Scissor Kicks will help out. Kill him and continue through the only
door. When you get into the next area, Shocker is waiting in a pipe on
the left wall. He tells his right-hand man, Vic, to seal off your path
by pumping water from the pipe. Vic follows the instructions and turns
on the water after Shocker is gone. Then, he little booger rips the
valve control wheel from the wall and runs off. Now you regain control.
Handle both baddies, grab the Health in the nook or save it for later,
and follow Vic into the mesh maze. As you follow him, his buddies jump
out to fight you. After you teach them that guns are bad and webs are
good, follow Vic and take him out by riding on him and punching him in
the head, then throwing him down with X. After quite a beating, he'll
fork over the valve wheel. Pick it up and then return to where he ripped
it from. Place it back on with B and then activate it with B again.
COMBO ALERT: Dive-Bomb (B, A, A) While the water stops, swing across the
gap (the water is electrified) and grab the combo.
When it does stop, swing into the tunnel to follow the Shocker.
WARNING!: The water is electrified! Do not touch it, or you'll lose!!!
JUST STAY AWAY UNLESS I TELL YOU OTHERWISE!
Follow the tunnel until it opens above you. Jump out and kill the thugs
that come after you, making sure to avoid the one that throws flash-
grenades.
COMBO ALERT: Advanced Web Spikes (Y Button + Left/L Button + Y Button
twice) - Once they're all gone, zip to the ceiling and find the switch
up there. Flip it and head back into the pipe. Jump into the now-safe
water and go through the now-open door to collect your prize.
TIP!: I really recommend you pick this up. It will help you in a future
battle and many others to come. Just get them, okay! I said get them!
Continue down the only opening and go through the channel. When you
reach the end, go under the open door to your right and it will slam
closed on you. Zip to the ceiling and Web Yank the four thugs in this
room, mixed in with a Handspring or two to finish them. When more Thugs
come in from the closed door. use Impact Webbing or pure fighting skills
to kill them all. Grab the power-ups if need be, and then go to the door
across from where you came in. There is a thug with a machine gun here,
so take him out with Advanced Web Dome attacks. When he goes down, grab
the key he drops then jump down into the space below. Enter the door to
the right (when facing the door above) and flip the switch. It opens the
door above. Get out of the room and Zip-Line up. Jump to the door to end
the level.
(Enhanced Mode Only) COMBO ALERT: Advanced Impact Web (HOLD Y Button +
Forward/L Button + Y Button) - Before you go through the last door,
enter the door below it on the left (while facing the door) to find this
power-up!
7. Showdown With Shocker
Shocker is not a very hard boss. However, you'll have to work a bit to
get there. When you first begin, move behind one of the pillars in the
middle of the tunnel. Shocker is at the other end and will fire blasts
of energy back at you, doing massive damage!
WARNING!: You can only take three hits, so be careful.
TIP!: The easiest way I've found to make your way down the passageway is
with the Web Zip. Seeing as how it's the fastest mode of travel, use
Look Around Mode and the Web Zip to safely make your way down the
tunnel. Aim for the backs of the pillars you hide from Shocker behind,
and Zip to them before Shocker can blast you.
When you reach the end, Shocker backs into a tunnel and uses his
blasters to block your path. However, you can open a detour. On the left
and right sides of the area, there are two levers. Flick them with B to
move the trains on the tracks. The one on the left reveals a flight of
stairs. Travel up them into the next area. The stairs opens up into a
sewer channel at the top.
COMBO ALERT: Uppercut (X, X, B) - When you reach the sewer channel, the
Golden Spider will begin to float away very fast. Web Swing after it and
retrieve it before it passes through the grating. Trust me, it's very
useful against Shocker.
Swing right down the channel and into another tunnel. After a few more
passages and one more flight of stairs, you finally reach the Shocker!
BOSS FIGHT - The Shocker
------------------------
Right after Shocker finishes taunting you, get a lock on him. Since he's
got electrical energy he can fire at will, it's good to keep your
distance. Jump away from his blasts and peg him with Impact Webbing.
When he does the Tornado Attack, Web Swing away form him to stay out of
it. Come back in with some Impact Webbing. If you picked up the Advanced
Web Spikes, they work even faster than Impact Webbing, but are more
dangerous, since you have to get close. If you need Health, there is
some in the corners of the room.
Once you down Shocker, a cutscene comes up. Shocker tells Spidey where
to find this new Vulture guy, reasoning that if he can't get his cash,
neither will Vulture. Spider-Man ties Shocker up for the authorities and
leaves to find Vulture.
8. Vulture's Lair
Spidey swings to Vulture's hideout, in an old belltower. He figures that
to find Vulture, he'll have to climb through it to the top. Now, this
level is actually easier than you might think. There are traps and such,
but nothing Spidey can't get past. Go through the doors and you'll find
the tower you need to climb. Run up the ramps and Vulture will begin
throwing grenades at you.
WARNING!: Throughout the level, you'll find little Spider-Explosives
that follow you with webs and explode when they get near. You'll also
run into stationary bombs and a flaming log!
After about half-way through, Vulture tries to get you off his trail by
blowing up a section of the tower, lighting it on fire, and starting a
giant log that swings around, ready to pelt Spidey. To get past it, go
up the ramps until you come to a broken ledge. Jump, hold Left on the
Control Stick and tap Z. You'll shoot past the log and latch onto the
ledge past it. Grab the Health and repeat for the next ledge. Keep going
up and you'll eventually find Vulture at the top with his precious
jewels.
COMBO ALERT: Gravity Slam (B, B, A) - Under one of the broken staircases
you'll find this useful combo attack.
9. Vulture Escapes
Right after you catch him, Vulture grabs his jewels and flies right out
the clock tower window and Spidey follows him, unsurprisingly. They end
up out in the city, with Spidey right on his tail. Now it's time for you
to pick up the chase to stop Vulture. As this is your first chase level,
you might need to now a few things. Firstly, the meter at the top works
just like it did in the first game. The closer the Spider symbol is to
the Vulture symbol, the closer you are to Vulture. Make sense? If you
stay behind him for too long, you lose him. Secondly, Vulture will throw
things at you to stop you from following, but they're generally easily
avoided. Bear in mind, however, that they can cut your web line, forcing
you to start another one up again. I find it easier if you get a lock on
him from the start and keep it that way, but if you do lose him, he
leaves a green trail behind him, so follow that if you get disoriented.
TIP!: Part-way into the level, Vulture will throw bombs at a billboard's
support beams. It starts to wobble, threatening everyone below it.
Quickly disengage the old bird and land next to it. Use your webs to fix
the support beams and then resume your fight with Vulture.
TIP!: A little further into the level, Vulture will blast a water
tower's support beams, claiming the civilians are 'thirsty'. Again, land
and web up the support beams, then resume the chase.
Overall, you shouldn't have too much trouble with this.
10. Air Duel With Vulture
BOSS FIGHT - The Vulture
------------------------
This level shouldn't be too hard, but it can be if you don't know the
geezer's attack pattern. The blue meter is what you have to deplete so
you can make him land, and thereby making him vulnerable to your attack.
Only when he's ground can you attack him. I recommend a Cannonball or
Midair Kick to him when in the air, and the Camera lock is very useful.
Try to ground him as fast as possible. When he does land, equip Advanced
Web Spikes (you did pick them up, didn't you?) and pound the feathers
out of him until he takes flight again.
COMBO ALERT: Dive Kick (B, A, X) - While Vulture is down (and after the
storm has subsided somewhat), climb the building he is on. Use Web Zip
to get up until you can't any longer. When you get to the very top,
you'll collect this combo!
COMBO ALERT: Sting (B, X, B) - Again, get this while Vulture's down.
This one is under the gargoyles, past them a little bit.
After you give Vulture the beating of his life, Spidey retrieves the
jewels and leaves Vulture hanging by a web for the police to apprehend,
with even the cops mocking him!
11. Corralled
