The game is played from a third-person perspective, with stages that alternate between urban traversal and indoor mission areas. Spider-Man can web-swing, wall-crawl, cling to ceilings, and sprint across surfaces, while combat centers on light and heavy attacks, web-based crowd control, and environmental interaction. Missions typically involve pursuing targets, solving simple route puzzles, stealthy movement, and boss encounters. Progress unlocks new moves and abilities that expand mobility and combat options.

Gameplay
Characters
Spider-Man / Peter Parker
The protagonist who uses webs, agility, and close-quarters fighting to stop the crisis.
Venom
A major antagonist with overwhelming strength and an important role in the story.
Doctor Octopus
A classic foe who attacks with mechanical tentacles and heavy pressure.
Carnage

Strategy
Learn to chain web-swinging and wall movement early, since many stages reward fast vertical repositioning. In combat, web up dangerous enemies first, then finish weaker mobs with combos. Boss fights are safest when you watch attack telegraphs and use distance to create openings. During exploration, check rooftops and hidden routes, as they often lead to useful pickups or progression paths.
