Evidence of Vulture Fight

Fight Arena

Warehouse near the Lower East Side. Enter the warehouse through the large bay doors. Go to the main room where the first battle with Shocker took place. Access the marker to start the fight. At first, only "Timed Rounds" is available, but playing it to Round 3 unlocks the Endurance Rounds option. Completing Round 3 unlocks the Boss Rounds option. The Boss Rounds includes the various villains from the game with thugs.
First Encounter: Saving Doc Ock
First, wait until the field goes inward then attack the computer. Quickly get back to dodge the field coming towards you. Do not forget to use your Spider Sense to avoid the bolts. Then, charge your jump until it is full, sprint with L, and quickly jump through the opening to the other computer and destroy it. Then, watch for the new pattern in the movement of the field. When the field is going inward, Charge Jump through the opening again. Repeat this until you successfully destroy all of the computers.
Fly high
Go to the train station and run down the tracks and start the race challenge. Once started sprint down the track until you see the train coming towards you. Continue to sprint towards the train until it hits you. When done you should go flying thousands of feet in the air.
Following Black Cat
In the missions where you have to follow Black Cat, try not to swing from building to building because you will not be very accurate and fall too far behind. Instead, try flinging yourself from building to building. To do this, hold the Jump and when it is fully charged, also hold Turbo. Then, still holding Jump + Turbo, run to the edge of the building and release Jump, but continue to hold Turbo. This will fling Spider-Man farther than just jumping, and is much more accurate than swinging. Also, if you are just about to land on a building, but are slightly short of making it to the top, try using the zip line when you can still see the top of the building. Note: You must buy the zip line first. It should attach to the top and zip you over.
Free fall
In order to free fall you must first be on top of a building. Just run or walk off and you should form a diving position. If you were high enough, the game should shake and you can see the speed. You can do this with the construction worker
that you were supposed to "save" from falling off of the building, but when you land you will just roll and the construction worker will not be affected. Note: Sometime when you free fall you will lose health if you hit the ground head on.
Getting better moves and awards faster
Always do a lot of crime fighting while not fighting Bosses in order to be able to buy all of the moves after each chapter. By doing this, you can do a variety of moves against Bosses and other enemies.
Getting upgrades
When you are in need of more moves, fly around the city and look for buildings with a web-like top on them. Sometimes the buildings will be very small and are white, which may make the web almost invisible. There are also different color
webs, which will make the web more visible on your map in the lower right side of the screen. Inside of one of those stores, you will see a gold spinning decal which you should "open up". This will bring you to the upgrade screen, where you can spend your Hero Points to get other attacks and much more.
Human punching bag
Tie a enemy to a lamp post using the Web Hanger move. You can then just beat them up until you get tired of doing so.
Movie Theatre
After Doc Ock is defeated and the credits finish rolling, Chapter 16 starts and the Movie Theatre can now be bought at the Upgrade Store. The Movie Theatre upgrade costs 1,000 Hero Points. After you purchase it, swing over to the movie theatre and activate the Change icon to choose from Activision Logo, Treyarch Logo, the Credits, and 3 demo videos.
Reaching Liberty and Ellis Islands
The only way to get to Liberty Island and/or Ellis Island is to hitch a ride on the patrolling helicopters that surround the islands. To do this, stand on the edge of the Manhattan island where you can see the Statue Of Liberty and the other island (Ellis Island). Then, look up and watch for helicopters. They are much easier to spot in the daylight hours, and may only appear during this time. Then, charge-jump and web-sling to attach to one. Wait for it to get close to the island and/or the other helicopter. You will know when to make the jump for the islands. When you must get to Liberty Island, keeping swinging to the island until you see eight little red dots. Then, drop into the water and you will float all the way over to the island.
Saving Aunt May from Doc Ock
First, fail the mission by losing Ock. Then when you restart the mission next to the helicopter, Web Swing and try to attach a Web Swing to the helicopter.
Spider-Man: The Movie references
Certain building can be referenced to the first Spider-Man. For example, the skyscraper where you have the final fight with the Vulture in the first game can also be found in the second game. The bridge where you fought the Green Goblin
can also be found in the game, but you cannot pass about halfway on it to the next city. Also, the bridge that the Green Goblin tries to blow-up and you must save is also in this game.
