Synopsis

The game's story begins with a tutorial level in which Spider-Man stops H-bombers from blowing up the Carlyle Building. The next day, he investigates strange lizard-like beings in Central Park and continues to fight H-bombers, thwarting their attempts to destroy the Daily Bugle's printing plant and regional office. That night, while chatting with Mary Jane in Central Park, an alien symbiote from a meteor attaches itself to Peter's shoe. After bringing Mary Jane home, Peter is attacked by Harry, who has become the "New Goblin" to avenge his father's death. Peter beats Harry, takes him to the hospital, then returns home, where the symbiote envelops him, creating a black Spider-Man suit that enhances his abilities and increases his aggression. Meanwhile, an escaped convict named Flint Marko becomes the Sandman after an accident with an experimental particle accelerator merges him with sand. The next day, H-bombers attack the Daily Bugle and kidnap J. Jonah Jameson, but Spider-Man saves him. He then confronts and defeats the leader of the Bombers, Luke Carlyle, a businessman turned criminal due to a story published by Jameson that ruined his business. Later, Peter investigates the disappearance of his science teacher, Dr. Curt Connors, and discovers that he transformed into a lizard through experiments with a lizard DNA serum. Pursuing the Lizard through the sewers, Spider-Man discovers that he has transformed others into similar creatures with the intention of invading New York. Spider-Man foils the plan but the Lizard escapes deeper into the sewers. When Spider-Man encounters him again, the Lizard fights with Kraven the Hunter. Spider-Man intervenes and defeats Kraven before subduing the lizard and returning Connors to his human form. While Spider-Man heals the other victims of the Lizard's transformation, Connors helps him investigate the symbiote's dangerous potential after fully recovering. A mission from Jameson causes Spider-Man to confront a vampire, whom he defeats and takes to Connors. Connors identifies the vampire as Dr. Michael Morbius, a renowned biochemist. Morbius claims his transformation was caused by his wife Shriek, whom Spider-Man hunts down and defeats. However, she escapes and Spider-Man later fights Shriek's gang, the Waste Tribe. He eventually locates Shriek and brings Morbius to her in hopes of a cure, but she turns Morbius against Spider-Man instead. After defeating Morbius, Spider-Man confronts Shriek, using the symbiote to counter his powers. Defeated, Shriek uses her abilities to heal Morbius before falling into a coma. Spider-Man leaves her in the care of Morbius and Connors and leaves. Later, Peter learns that Eddie Brock posed as a black-suited Spider-Man to portray him as a criminal and get a promotion. After humiliating Brock as Spider-Man, Peter exposes the scheme and wins the promotion, leading Brock to swear revenge on both Spider-Man and Peter. As the public becomes increasingly alarmed by Spider-Man's violent tendencies while wearing the symbiote suit, Spider-Man considers removing it. However, he spots Marko stealing an armored van and chases him into the subway. Unable to defeat Marko, Spider-Man dons the symbiote suit and is ultimately consumed by his aggression. Discovering water as Marko's weakness, Spider-Man opens a pipe, releasing water which disintegrates Marko into mud. Later that night, the symbiote's influence on Peter frightens Mary Jane during their date and a confrontation with thieves. Peter realizes the symbiote's negative impact on his behavior and heads to a nearby church to remove it. He achieves this thanks to the sonic vibrations of the church bell, which weaken the symbiote. However, the creature befriends Brock, who followed Spider-Man to the church. As Venom, Brock, aware of Peter's identity as Spider-Man, blackmails Marko into helping him kill Spider-Man by threatening Marko's daughter. They kidnap Mary Jane to lure Spider-Man, but Harry, now recovered, comes to their aid. Harry saves Mary Jane and Marko's daughter and helps Spider-Man defeat Marko before Venom tries to kill him. Spider-Man defeats Venom using sonic vibrations to weaken him, but Brock presumably dies when the symbiote leaves his body. Following these events, Spider-Man reconciles with Mary Jane and Marko reunites with his daughter. He apologizes to Spider-Man and leaves peacefully. The game ends with Spider-Man resuming his ongoing battle against crime, emphasizing that the best way to honor and remember loved ones is to never give up on being Spider-Man.
