INTRODUCTION

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can.

Well, now you too can do whatever a spider can, in Spider-Man 2.

Following alongside the events of the movie of the same name, Spider-Man 2 once again casts you as the superhero Spider-Man, who must save New York City from Doc Ock, a mad scientist with mechanical tentacles; Rhino, a man with impenetrable armor; Shocker, who has the ability to send out energy beams and plasma waves; and Mysterio, a weird “alien” who can spawn robots to do his bidding.

Spider-Man 2 is completely open-ended, giving you free reign of an accurate recreation of New York City. You’ll swing from the Chrysler Building to the Empire State Building, from the harbor to the Statue of Liberty, even to Ground Zero, where two beams from a spotlight are in place of the Twin Towers. Throughout your adventure, you’ll be able to help citizens in distress, prevent armored car robberies, save people from falling, and ward off several ambushes.

To help you in your journey to rid New York City of evil, this guide will help you through the entire game, from the chapter that teaches you about the game to the chapter that’ll test your patience and reflexes. You’ll also get a quick rundown on the basics, a list of upgrades, and all the possible awards you can win.

So get going, Spider-Man, New York isn’t going to save itself!
