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.

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.

Start the game on hard or super hero difficulty and get into the first level. Use the pause menu and quit out to the main shell. Enter the "ARACHNID" cheat in the cheats menu which will open up all levels. Use "Level Warp" to go to the conclusion level. This is only the final cinematic where Norman reveals himself to Spidey and is taken out by the glider. When you play this cinematic you have essentially beaten the game on whatever difficulty you chose at the beginning. Get back to the main menu and enter the "Secret Store". Turn on the Green Goblin. Use "Level Warp" or just start a new game and you will be playing as the Green Goblin. You will be playing at whatever difficulty you chose at step one unless you choose to start a new game and select a new difficulty.

Each time you beat a level of Spider-Man, you will unlock it for Level Warp. Once you've beaten a level, you can revisit it at any time using this feature. By accessing the Level Warp Menu (located in Specials), you can view the levels you've beaten, plus the top scores for each of these. Use Level Warp to build up your total game score to earn stuff for the Secret Store.
