Most of them, as in the first game, have some sort of power-up to abilities, such as infinite webbing or invulnerability, but this time around you can mix-and-match costumes and power-ups.

* OminousFog: Unlike the previous game, however, there's no in-universe justification for this. The "fog" is simply implemented due to the game's graphical limitations. Ironically, this game has ''more'' outdoor levels than the previous game.

Renamed and moved tropes.


* AdaptationalBadass: In most of the comics, Electro is shown as being too incompetent to take the position of [[BigBad big bad]]. Here, he's much more competent.
** The Shocker is the Marvel Universe's [[JokeCharacter joke character]] for the most part. Here, he's dangerously powerful and fast, pretty much a full on LightningBruiser with ranged attacks too.

* TooSoon: The game was pulled off American shelves and changed radically after 9/11. Among the changes were some levels being renamed and the final battle moving from the top of the World Trade Center to a nondescript skyscraper somewhere in New York.



* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Well, sort of, and directed at Spidey. In one early level, you have to put out a fire by using your web yank on a fire hydrant. It's possible to put Spidey directly in the blast zone and watch him get hurdled by the water blast directly into the burning building. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It's pretty goddamn funny.]]

This game deals with Electro trying to get his hands on a device that can harness and amplify human bio-electricity. On a normal human, this is pretty powerful, but in the [[ShockAndAwe lightning-powered]] hands of [[PsychoElectro Maxwell Dillon]], it could make him a God.
