Like the Spider-Man 2 video game, this game is a sandbox game allowing you to free roam around Manhattan/NYC at your own leisure, fighting thugs on the streets preventing random street crimes. There are a multitude of story arcs and missions you can pursue at your own pace. Unlike in Spider-man 2, there are several gangs who dominate the criminal underworld which you are tasked with combatting. One criticism I have of the game is that the gangs seem unrealistic and campy, with one example being a gang of goth girls who look like cosplayers complete with umbrellas. Main supervillains in the game include the Lizard, Kraven The Hunter, Kingpin, Scorpion, and the Rhino on top of the villains from the movie Sandman, New Goblin, and Venom. The symbiote storyline is featured in the game and it is fun wearing the black suit swinging around the city with enhanced abilities as a result of the black goo. The most fun missions include when Harry as the New Goblin attacks Peter on the streets of Manhattan and you fight him without your costume on in the streets and on rooftops like in the film and the subway fight between black suited Spider-Man and Sandman.
