Story
After finding out Spider-Man's true identity and how he gained his super powers, Norman Osborn tries to recreate the process on himself, thinking that his superior knowledge and access to his ‘Oz Formula’ would get a better result. He then turns himself into the Green Goblin (with a few side effects). Thinking his experiment to be a success, he then starts to use his formula on other people, creating a goblin army. It's now up to Spider-Man to figure out what's going on and put a stop to the Goblin's plans before he can take over New York City . Spider-Man ultimately thwarts the Goblin, who is then incarcerated by The Ultimates (the Ultimate Universe variants of The Avengers ).
Gameplay Systems
Peter Parker/Spider-Man is the eponymous protagonist. Spidey's game play is almost identical to that of its predecessor, whereby he has to go around and save any civilians that are in trouble, engage in combat with thugs and (in the Nintendo DS version) take part in 3 touch screen mini-games: The stroke game, the web draw and the arm/disarm games. Norman Osborn/Green Goblin is the main antagonist and a playable character. Green Goblin's game play is slightly different.
Unlike Venom who could be controlled via the touch screen, the Goblin is controlled with the d-pad and face buttons only. D. agents. The Goblin does not take part in any touch screen mini-games.
Exclusive to the DS version, both Spider-Man and Goblin have access to 4 special moves which appear on the bottom screen, landing hits on opponents increases a special meter that, once full, will allow them to use one of the 4 moves available. The player will also have to keep an eye out for the Threat Assessment Meter (or TAM for short); when it appears, it will point towards where Spidey and Goblin have to go next and also tell the player how much time they have left to solve the problem. If they fail to sort out the problem when the TAM meter runs out, the player will receive a game over.
