I've always wanted to be Spider-Man. I admit it. When I was a kid, I used to swing back and forth from a piece of rope tied to tree branch and pretend it was webbing. It was pathetic. Now Activision has released a game that allows me to play as Spidey for real, and I couldn't be happier. Building on the success of its predecessors, this version of the game, which ties in with the Sony Pictures movie, is the ultimate super-hero experience. Not only does it use the vocal talents of Tobey Macguire and Willem Dafoe, it includes a full cast of classic Spider-Man villains, an immersive storyline and plenty of extras to keep you coming back for more.

IGN Guides is here to help you get as much out of the game as possible. This guide is ultimate online resource to help you triumph over Spidey's adventure. Inside, you'll find a detailed walkthrough, where to find each Combat Move and secret area, the strategy for beating every boss and what you unlock when you play the game like a true master, and a full list of cheats.

Use "Level Warp" or just start a new game and you will be playing as the Green Goblin.
