The game received generally positive reviews from critics, who singled out the boss fights, destructive combat, use of an original story, voice acting and open-ended nature. However, the game's choice system received mixed reviews; although some praised how the player is able to create a dynamic experience with their choices, others were critical of the system's limitations. In addition, reviewers criticized the storyline' s poor execution, bothersome camera controls, the inability to free-roam after completing the game, lip-synching issues and the ugly graphics.

At various points in the game, the player is able to choose between good and evil paths which take a fair amount of time to complete. There are multiple endings depending on how the game is played out. In addition, the player can choose which villains to fight against. The player is able to switch between Spider vs Batman traditional red and blue costume and the symbiote suit at any time during gameplay

Venom explodes, leaving no trace of Eddie Brock and knocking out Spider. When Spider comes to, he finds he has the black suit once again and is surprised to receive a call from Nick Fury explaining Venom infected the city and that S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents are quarantining Manhattan. He informs Spider that he needs to help build a sonic generator that will separate the symbiotes from the citizens of New York, and Spider begins to collect the necessary items. Also, Spider's previous encounter with the symbiote allows him to retain his sanity, but even if he doesn't wear the black suit, it will influence his choices.

Spider follows the trail of the crash, and finds Spider infected by a symbiote. After defeating her and obtaining the S.H.I.E.L.D. plans, he gets a call from Nick Fury to obtain the sonic generator from the top of Fisk Tower. After making it to the top and defeating A.I.M. soldiers, Spider combines the parts collected earlier to a computer, completing the generator. Jackal appears and steals the sonic generator. Spider then gets a call from Spencer Smythe saying he has brainwashed Black Cat. Spidey is forced to either let her mind get fried by the control device, or save her.
