Spider-Man 3

Defeating Michael:
------------------
When you are trying to open the boarded up windows, if you are
far away from him he will do a long jump towards you. Then it
takes him a few seconds to recover to attack. Before he jumps,
do not stand in the yellow circles. Instead, stand next to the
wall opposite the windows. He will now jump to there, recover,
etc. while he is recovering, pull down the boards. When he jumps
into the light, attack him. Keep doing this until his and his
wife's life runs out to complete the level.

Token collection:
-----------------
While swinging through the city you might hear a chime.
This indicates that you are close to a token.

Web swinging upgrades:
----------------------
You can earn upgrades for this ability by using it a lot.

Defeating Venom:
----------------
Before this battle, go to the upgrade menu and make sure you have the melee
attack volley. Then, fight. Depending on your health level, you may or may
not want to use the power up. At the moment, you can easily jump over Venom,
confuse him, and chip away at his health. Keep doing this until his black
suit begins to "glow". Now when you jump over him he will run away. This is
a good opportunity to use your new attack and chip at him, occasionally
giving some hits. Keep hitting him until his "glow" gets bigger and
eventually Harry will tell you to knock Venom into the air.
He'll fall back to the ground same as before, easily confused. Repeat this
cycle until his health is really low and you can finish him off.

Easy kills:
-----------
To easily defeat enemies jump then keep tapping both [Attack] keys.

Rival gang reward:
------------------
Choose any of the gang patrol missions (Apocalypse, Dragon Tails, H-Bombers,
Waste Tribe) and defeat all of their marked territories that match their
logos to earn 3 experience points.

Random gang:
------------
When you go to a crime area controlled by the police, you will be assigned a
task involving a random gang. On completion of the tasks the effectiveness of
the police will be increased (as seen by the rings around the police symbol
on the map). The more rings you have, the harder it is for gangs to take
control of police-controlled areas and the more likely it is for the police
to take over gang controlled areas.

Completion bonuses:
-------------------
Successfully complete the game as Spider-Man to unlock Symbiote Spider-Man's
story mode.
Collect all 50 Black Spider Tokens to get the black Spider-Man suit to wear
whenever desired for as long as you want.
Collect 100 Meteorite Pieces to play as Venom.

Defeating Michael Morbius:
--------------------------
When you are trying to open the boarded up windows, if you are far away from
him he will do a long jump towards you. Then it takes him a few seconds to
recover to attack. Before he jumps, do not stand in the yellow circles. Instead,
stand next to the wall opposite the windows. He will now jump to there, recover,
etc. While he is recovering, pull down the boards. When he jumps into the light,
attack him. Keep doing this until his and his wife's life runs out to complete
the level.
He will fly around, etc. When he lines up, use the Spider-Wall to damage him and
he will land. Attack him and repeat this strategy.

Defeating Shriek:
-----------------
In your final encounter with Shriek, she temporarily takes away your Black suit,
and figures from your imagination attack you (your loved ones). You can kill them
with one hit, but it is pointless. Wait until the Black suit recharges, then
switch over, revealing your true enemies. Attack Shriek until she changes you
back to the old Spider-Man. Repeat the previous steps and she will collapse.

Defeating Michael Morbius and Shriek:
-------------------------------------
Wait until Michael is about to rush you, then open the window. He will be
temporarily weakened. Beat him up. Shriek will heal him, losing some of her health.
Repeat this until he dies, and she flees the scene.

Defeating Sandman:
------------------
In your first encounter with Sandman, do not try to attack him, just stay close
to him. Counter-attack him several times on different levels to finally battle
him. Unfortunately, you must use the Black suit to damage him. Just hit him
around until you are prompted to give him a bath. Keep doing this cycle until
you defeat him.

Easy gang eradication:
----------------------
Immediately after you defeat The Sandman for the first time in the "Mary Jane's
Favorite Band" mission and before you "Meet Mary Jane At The Restaurant", you
cannot take off the Black suit. During this time period, which does not end
until you start the next mission, you can wear the Black suit without any
damage being done to you. Use this time to clear the city of all gang activity.
This may take awhile, but it is easier with the Black suit.

Meteorite collection:
---------------------
As Black costume Spider-Man, you can find the meteorite fragments (small rock-
like objects surrounded by a purple/pink glow) by listening for a pulsating sound.
The louder it gets, the closer you are.

All spiders and prisoners:
--------------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing game files; create a backup copy of the files before
proceeding. If you have not saved the game yet, start a new game and play until you can do so.
Use a text editor to edit the "game<number>" file in the "\spider-man 2\system" folder that
corresponds to your saved game. Delete all the spider and prisoner information. Save it and
play the game with all prisoners and spiders.

Hint: Crawl on wall faster:
---------------------------
Get on a wall and begin crawling and jumping at the same time. You will climb up the wall
faster. This is useful when you face Puma.

Free ride:
----------
To get around the city quickly, get on top of a vehicle and enjoy the ride.

Travel faster:
--------------
Because you cannot swing freely without the Spidey targets, you can zip. First, zip as
far from the building as possible then quickly turn to another building before you reach
the first one. Keep doing this so you can travel faster.

Defeating Doc Ock:
------------------
When on the subway level where Doc Ock is throwing things at you, turn sideways and walk
backwards off the subway. Then, quickly zip on the side of the train and stay there. Doc
Ocks attacks will completely miss.

Easy health:
------------
When you find a ambulance, it should be on top of the truck. Otherwise, try to complete
one of the story mode missions.

Back to morning:
----------------
When it is dark, do the City Alert one time.

Construction site:
------------------
After you have completed the Final Showdown mission, swing somewhere far then go on the
map and look for the Financial District. Go there. Go to the left until you see a glass
building. That is the construction site after it was broken
Note: You will see the little square that you was fighting in with Venom and Sandman.
