POWER-UPS AND ICONSWithin the game there will be a number of power-ups to aid Spider-Man

in his mission. Each power-up has a different function, listed below. Toobtain a power-up, run, crawl, or use your zip-line to make contact withit. If Spider-Man has reached his holding capacity for a certain item, thepower-up will become transparent when you make contact with it. Hereare some of the power-ups to be found in the game:

Web-Cartridges (Blue): Each web attack Spider-Mandoes (see Spider-Mans Moves section) will remove aportion of your overall webbing. Before you run outof webbing youll need to pick up a new web

cartridge. Web cartridges allow Spider-Man toexecute his web attacks. Under normal conditionsSpider-Man can carry up to ten web cartridges atany time.

Health (Red and White): Health cartridges serve torestore a portion of Spider-Mans health throughoutthe game. Be careful however, youll never know justhow much a particular health cartridge will restoreyou. Play wisely to conserve your health.

Armour (Gold): This rare power-up will change thecostume and properties of Spider-Man for a brieftime in the game. When you collect this power-upSpider-Mans suit will change to its armouredconfiguration. The Spidey-Armour has its own healthbar, so it will take damage and leave Spider-Manunharmed. However, normal health cartridges willnot work on Spidey-Armour, so be careful. Once

its meter runs out, Spidey-Armour disappears andSpider-Man returns to normal. Also, Spidey-Armourincreases the amount of damage Spider-Man does tohis opponents while reducing the amount of damagean enemy can do to him.

UNDERSTANDING THEIN-GAME DISPLAY

The Heads-Up Display, or HUD, for Spider-Man is fairly simple.Spider-Mans health is represented by a horizontal bar that runsacross the top of the screen. For webbing, the vertical bar registershow much web fluid is left in the web cartridge that Spider-Man iscurrently using. The number just to the right of this bar tells you thetotal number of web cartridges Spider-Man is carrying.

In the lower right hand corner is the Spidey-Compass. Occasionallythe Spidey-Compass will appear in order to show you the directionyou should be heading through the city, with up corresponding toForward and down corresponding to Back.

THE STORY THUS FARLast time I checked, I was Spider-Man.

So there I was, attending a lecture at the Science Expo given by thenow-reformed Dr. Otto Octavius (better known as Doctor Octopus).Just as Octavius finished lecturing on his latest technologicalinnovation, the entire auditorium was thrown into chaos.

Somebody dressed to look like Spider-Man took out the securityguards and stole Octavius new piece of technology. As if that wasntbad enough, I bumped into Eddie Brock during all the commotion.Since Brock is the human half of the symbiotic pair known as Venom,Im thinking his presence at the Science Expo can only mean more

trouble.

Isnt that just my luck? Octavius technology has been stolen, andthe police and everyone else in New York City think it was me thattook it. But there has to be more to this than meets the eye. Whywould someone want to steal Octavius technology and pin the thefton Spider-Man?

Well, I know one thing for sure: New York City is only big enoughfor one Spider-Man. And thats me.

GAMEPLAY TIPS If you press jump while in mid swing, then re-engage your web

swing, you can alter your course. This is called Breaking, or CuttingWebbing.

Use your Spider-Sense to fight multiple foes. The red arrows willpoint to where an enemy is located. Also, your Spider-Sense willpoint out the closest bad guys first.

Sometimes Zip-Line webbing can be used to save yourself fromfalling. Make sure there is something above you to cling to first!

Vary your attacks. Different enemies respond differently to attacks.Some have to be fought at a distance; others are not affected byimpact webbing. Learn how to fight each enemy in a way that

conserves both health and webbing. Use Web-Spikes to increase your punching power considerably.

When facing multiple opponents, the Web-Dome is useful for bothattack and defence.

Dont forget that youre Spider-Man! Use ceilings and overhangs toapproach the bad guys with stealth.

Sometimes its better to run than fight. Even super heroes knowwhen a fight cant be won. Use discretion when confronted withsome enemies.

Use the environment to your advantage. Grab your enemies andsend them flying. This is especially useful in the furnace room.

Spidey may be a superhero, but he doesnt like water. Avoidswimming at all costs!

Use combinations of punch, kick, and webbing to get moreeffective attacks.

Remember, many objects in your environment can be picked up andthrown by Spider-Man.

Remember to explore your environment; you never know what youmight find behind a door or under some furniture.

POWERS

Super-Human Strength (Class 10 = 10 Tons)

Super-Human Reflexes (Similar to a Spider)

Super-Human Agility (Similar to a Spider)

"Spider-Sense" that warns him of pendingdanger and gives him ability to detect signalsfrom his Spider-Tracers

Ability to adhere to walls and most othersurfaces with his extremities

Other Abilities: Peter Parker is a gifted andinventive person who, even if he wasn'tbitten by that radioactive spider years ago,would have made a great contribution tosociety as a scientist.
