Throughout the different levels, players can pick up over 20 special power-ups that add fighting-combos to Spider-Man’s arsenal, impressively performed through a combination of the different action keys or gamepad buttons. The power-ups are not required to complete the game, but because many of them are hidden, part of this title’s replayability comes in finding them all. When out in the city, you can swing from building to building using webs, and can fall hundred of feet without getting hurt. On the other hand, the web swinging is pretty unrealistic.
It’s like you have a pillow of invisible hooks right above you, allowing your alter-ego to ‘fly’ pretty much anywhere.
Spider-Man’s crawling abilities allow him to reach impossible areas when inside indoor areas, and the in-game camera compensates for this by making ceilings transparent or by turning the view accordingly.
Players can also use Spider-Man’s zip-line ability to quickly shoot web-grappling hooks across rooms or surfaces, zipping in any direction at great speed.
