When facing the Rhino or other Bosses, press Up to make everything slow down except yourself. This move also allows you to punch and hit much more effectively.
Defeating Doc Ock
When you fight Doc Oc for the last time, save up your Spidey Sense energy. When it gets too full or half-way, let him get close and active it. This will help you defeat him without losing health. Note: If you can get good hits on him when three of his four arms are down, you will take little damage if you are careful. When facing Doc Ock in the final battle, stand your ground in a corner and let him approach you. When he arrives, beware of his tentacles. Dodge them one by one pressing Circle when Spider- Man's head flashes, then respond to each dodge by pressing Triangle and shooting a web at the Doc's tentacles to bind them to the wall or the ground. When all four tentacles are bound to either the ground or the wall, run towards the Doc by holding L1 then pressing Square, performing an uppercut which sends the Doc in the air. Then, hold and release X and continue to press Square rapidly. When the Doc falls to the ground, continue to perform combos to him by pressing Square, but beware of his tentacles. Doc Ock will use them to throw you repeatedly. Web out of there after one combo and move to another corner and repeat the process until the Doc is defeated.
Defeating enemies
To defeat enemies that block your attacks, have guns, or dodge your web, use the Web Splash maneuver (L2 + Triangle). This will quickly cover them up with webbing and will make them easier to defeat.
Defeating Mysterio
When you are fighting Mysterio at the Speedy Mart, the battle is very short. Just punch him a few times to defeat him and prepare yourself to reveal Mysterio's true identity.
Defeating Mysterio for good
To completely defeat Mysterio, first you will go to an autotorium. Press triangle + circle to grab reporters. Once you've freed them all, destroy the robots. (every time you punch you will stay in mid-air so it makes it easy to destroy them). Once you've beaten him, you will go to lady liberty. swing from the robots in the air by using all of your different kinds of web swings. From there, destroy more in-the-air robots. Then jump in the middle of lady Liberty's head and dodge the sweeper to atack the brain. Then you will go to his apartment and destroy the clowns, mirrors, and axes. For a while, you won't see Mysterio, but all of a sudden he will rob a store and all you have to do is give him a charge kick and he will be destroyed for good!
Defeating Rhino
When Rhino tries to hit you, there will be a flash above Spider-Man's head. Press Circle when this happens. When Rhino stops spinning, he will be dizzy. Punch him until he recovers, then he will charge at you. Jump over him.
Do not punch or web him. If you web him you will get hurt. If you punch him it will not have any affect because there is metal around his body.
Defeating Shocker
To defeat Shocker the second time that you fight him, climb up the wall directly across from Black Cat and press the switch. The force field will deactivate. Then, charge towards Shocker. Stay away from the middle, as Shocker will stay on the sides. Uppercut him into the air. Jump up and do an air combo. He will fall down. Charge him again and do the same thing. This time he will start to charge for a blast. Run away and do charged jump as far from him as possible. The force field will turn on again. Repeat the strategy from beginning. When Shocker loses about half of his life, Black Cat will shut down the force field for good.
Destroying Orbs at the Statue Of Liberty
First, attach to one of Mysterio's "UFOs" and it will fly you high up. Jump off and Websling around until you are close enough to an Orb to Webzip toward it. Once there, you will remain floating. Just use a simple punch attack to destroy it.
Easy Skyscraper Tokens
Go to the map of the city and look very closely at the buildings. You will see little gold dots on top of the buildings. They represent the token locations.
Evidence of Vulture Fight
Go to the Chrysler building (the other huge sky scraper near the empire state building), up far enough to where there are green pyramids on 4 corners of the building, and go around the building. You should find green feathers on the building, referring to the first game when you fought Vulture there.
Farther web swings
When you are swinging, hold L1 + X. Release when you are about to get make another web shot come out. This will make you go farther.
Faster wall running
When running up a wall and are about to fall, quickly press X and hold Circle. You will go faster for a moment. Keep doing this until you get up the wall.
Faster Web Swinging
When swinging jump at the bottom of the arc. Example:If You start swinging then jump at the top of the swing arc you will go higher not further, but swinging at the lowest point allows you to not obtain hight but more distance. This comes in handy when swinging after black cat.
Finding Bouy Tokens
Go near the water and you will see a bouy floating in the water. Charge your jump and run towards the water. You may be short, but you can webzip to it. To webzip, press L2 and R2 together. Note: You must first buy the upgrade from the spidy store.
Finding Hideout Tokens

Finding Secret Tokens
When you are swinging around town, some areas may be inclosed by buildings. Climb up the building and jump into the center and a token will be along the side of the inclosed area.
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 L1, 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. At the start of the level, destroy the first computer. Then, look to the left or right. Wait until the plasma blast goes down, then turn on the Spider Reflex modes (slow motion) and dive forward into the corner, but not all the way. Once there, destroy the computer, then repeat.
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 X (Jump) and when it is fully charged, also hold L2 (Turbo). Then, still holding L2 + X, run to the edge of the building and release X, but continue to hold L2. 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 (L2, R2) 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.
Get to Lady Liberty
You might have been swinging around, and catching a glimpse of the statue of liberty in the corner of your eye, well to get there you need a helicopter. this is hard to do so you better be patient. only the helicopters that go over the sea can help you here, so when you see one on the edge of the city, jump as high as you can, and web onto the helicopter, and wait until you see another one over the sea, then quickly jump and web onto that one, and wait until it takes you to liberty Island, and drop. Bada bing, Bada boom, and your there. P.S. There is also a small village on the other side that you can reach with a helicopter to.
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.
Ghost Car
In the Lower West Side go from building to building until one has a crane on it go on the crane and fall off don't jump you should see cars disappear sometimes you can go through cars.
P.S. It should be by the ocean.

Mysterio's Apartment: Exiting Wall Of Mirrors
Go up to a mirror and punch it three times as the clone is coming out. Then, beat the clone up. Using a Web Ball (L2 + Triangle) works well. Be very careful to only approach one mirror at a time, as the Spider-Man clones that appear are very difficult to defeat if there are too many. Repeat this until you find the door that you can use to exit.
Mysterio's Mirrors - saving time and effort
When you are in Mysterio's mirror room, you don't have to smash all of the mirrors to get out of there. look for a mirror with a striped frame. there should be more than one of these. go up to the mirror to the left of the striped one, and smash it up. take care of the spiderguy that comes out of it. then check to see whether a light is shining out from the mirror to the center of the room. if it is, then proceed to the 3rd mirror left of the one you just smashed. take care not to trigger the 2 mirrors in between. smash the 3rd mirror and destroy the fake spiderman, and repeat again, smashing the 3rd mirror to left, until an exit appears. if it isnt, then smash the mirror to the other side of the striped mirror, and carry out the strategy mentioned above, but instead of smashing the 3rd mirror to the left, smash the 3rd mirror to the RIGHT.

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.

Save the one on the right first, since he is closest to falling. When you pull him to you by pressing Triangle, charge your jump and sprint towards the balcony that you came in on. When you reach the edge of the balcony, release Jump. The jump alone will not get you there. When you start to fall, cast a web and swing onto the balcony. Press Triangle to put the reporter down. Repeat this for the reporter on the left. When you have safely rescued the two falling reporters, go back to the balcony on the
right. There should be another reporter on that balcony. Repeat the steps for saving the falling reporters. Swing down to the stage and fight off some of Mysterio's alien flyers Note: Your web attacks will not have any effect on the
flyers, however your normal attacks will. Grab one of the reporters and charge a jump. When your jump is fully charged, jump straight up. When at your full height, cast a web and wait for it to stop swinging. Repeat this until at maximum height. Start swinging towards one of the two balconies that the reporters were on.
