Venom with white spider symbol
Successfully complete Story mode to play as Venom in Free
Roam mode with the white spider symbol on the front and back
of his costume.
Webswing upgrades
Locate the Human Torch icon on top of the Baxter Building
in Manhattan; it's the tall white building. He will be there
depending on how many races you have acheived medals in.
Full health Note: This trick
requires at least one additional costume. When low on health,
pause the game and choose the "Unlockables" selection,
then select "Costumes". Change costumes to have
full health when resuming the game.
Avoid falling damage
If you cannot web swing when you fall off a building, double
jump just as you are about to hit the ground.
No police or military
While playing as Venom in Free Roam mode, destroy something
to enter a mini-game where the police and military will try
to kill Venom. Then, pause the game and choose the "Unlockables"
selection. A message will appear saying you will exit your
mission if you continue. Confirm to exit the mission, then
exit back out of the "Unlockables" screen and return
to the game. Venom can now destory anything without the police
or military appearing and attacking him.
Easier Combat Tours
The last battle of a Combat Tour is the hardest. If you end
the second to the last battle with most of your health, do
not pick up the health icon that appears. Go to the last battle
and fight. If you are low on health, simply webswing back
to the area of the previous fight and the health icon will
still be there. Take it and return to complete the last challenge.
Also, make sure to spread out the enemies and try to lure
some of them to other areas. Some will follow and some will
stay behind making it easier to fight them.
Change time of day
While playing as Spider-Man or Venom in Free Roam mode, pause
the game and select the "Switch Hero" option. When
the next stage loads, it may be a different time of day. Keep
switching the hero until it is the time of day desired.
Leg throw
While standing idle and facing an enemy, press Grab(2). Spider-Man
will leap over, grab them by the head with his legs and flip
them over.
Wall run
Spider-Man can wall run, but not quite as long as he did in
Spider-Man 2. While webswinging towards a wall, tap Grab just
before hitting the wall and press the direction you want to
run. Note: Do not hold the button. Spider-Man will run for
awhile before crawling.
Fight Shocker again
You can see Shocker even after you have defeated him. Sometimes
in a City Event, Shocker will appear and you must to fight
him. It will not be a Boss battle; it will be like a fight
against a street thug, who is much more powerful and has some
very powerful blasters.
Defeating Beetle with Spider-Man
Wait on the bottom level of the construction site and eventually
Beetle will come to you. When he appears, attack him with
punches and kicks and repeat as necessary to defeat him.
Defeating Beetle with Venom
Use the camera lock feature so you will always have Beetle
in your sights. Wait for him to zoom close to you and use
a tentacle attack on him when he is close to you. When he
puts up the forcefield and opens the pits, run to where he
is hovering and strike him with a tentacle attack. Make sure
to avoid his various projectile attacks by jumping over them.
Defeating Carnage with Venom
Use tentacle attacks to keep Carnage at a distance. If you
can get close, use claw attacks which are more powerful. Feed
on the policemen on the scene to regain health. When Carnage
escapes to the next room, go to the door with the blue circle
and press Grab to start a door opening mini-game. Carnage
will recharge his health a few times during this fight so
continue to feed on the policemen. Watch for Carnage's spinning
tentacle attack and jump out of the way.
Completing Electro chase with Venom
Stay as close to Electro as possible. When he is about to
do his large electric ball attack, do a super jump into the
air. Stay on top of buildings for the most part and only go
to the ground when you have to feed. Try and feed when Electro
is near the ground, readying his large electric ball attack,
as he is not moving at that point. Just stay far enough away
so the attack won't hurt you. When Electro goes to the top
of buildings, wait on the building below him and out of the
way of the attack. Also, when Electro says "going down",
try not to go right down to the street with Venom or Electro
will be too far away. Use the zip move to grab onto buildings
when falling towards the street so you will not fall too far
and lose him. Just continue to follow him until the level
is over.
Defeating Electro with Venom
Smash the neon signs in Times Square by jumping towards them
and using a tentacle attack or by throwing cars at them. Smash
a few signs and then pick up cars and throw them at Electro.
Try to smash as many signs as possible, as Electro uses them
to recharge. When Electro goes near Spidey, throw cars at
him. Also, bust open the fire hydrants to cause water to shoot
out, as the water will harm Electro. Once all of the neon
signs are smashed, throw cars at Electro until the battle
is over.
Defeating Green Goblin with Spider-Man
Use the camera lock feature. Jump over the Green Goblin's
fireballs. Only get in close for an attack when the Green
Goblin is no longer on fire. Retreat and repeat the process
for both phases of this Boss battle.
Defeating Rhino in first battle
Jump on his back by pressing Grab, then hit him repeatedly.
Jump off just as he starts to fall over. Run over to the wet
cement and try to get Rhino to charge at you. When he is stuck
in the cement, jump over to the crane and press Grab to use
the wrecking ball.
Defeating Rhino in second battle
Dodge his attacks and jump on his back by pressing Grab when
his back stops sparking (and turns blue). Hit him repeatedly
and jump off when he is about to fall over. Repeat until he
goes down.
Defeating Sable with Peter Parker
Move around as much as possible getting in some hits when
you can and then retreating to a safe distance. Defeat her
henchmen as soon as they arrive.
Defeating Venom in first battle with Spider-Man
Punch and kick Venom with the 4 combo attack ability (or just
punches and kicks), then immediately jump out of the way.
Continue this until the fight ends.
Defeating Venom in second battle with Spider-Man
Attack Venom as you have in previous battles. Get close for
4 to 5 hit combos and then retreat. Jump over tentacle attacks
and other projectiles like cars.
Defeating Venom in third battle with Spider-Man
Attack Venom from behind when he is at the helicopter. You
can usually get in 5 hits safely before he attacks. Once you
attack him, use webzip to get as far away as possible. Venom
will then jump towards you and either attack or throw objects.
Get in quickly and unleash another flurry of combo hits on
him. He will then return to the helicopter and you must repeat
this process, only later you will have to avoid the fire that
spreads on the roof.
Defeating Wolverine with Venom
Use tentacle attacks, throws, and claw attacks against Wolverine.
Use the bar patrons to feed on while Wolverine is stunned
to fill up your energy.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off reference
Near the beginning of the game where Spider-Man has to go
to school (and just before the race with the Human Torch)
wander around the city and explore. Spider-Man will make comments
like, "I need to get to class" and "I really
have to get to school." One comment is something along
the lines of, "I cant miss anymore class. I've been absent
nine times... nine... times." This is in reference to
a scene from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off in which the
principal is taking note of the main character's habit of
skipping class.
