Game description: Spider bites can sometimes turn you into a superhero, as in the case of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: The Movie. Assume the role of Peter, a good-hearted teenager bitten by a genetically engineered spider, which gives him muscles, incredible strength, and spider-like abilities. You'll have to learn how to control your powers including Spider Sense, web-slinging, and wall crawling, and the all-new aerial combat moves. The world's toughest villains, including Shocker, Vulture, and the Green Goblin will all be after you. Are you up for the challenge?

GSdx Renderer: Direct3D11 (Hardware), A small portion of the screen will be blurred during FMVs in Hardware mode. You can switch to Software mode to fix it, but it's not that big of a deal. Otherwise, the game has ran at a consistent 60 FPS without any major issues. | Zanzkebar |

Known Issues
Web-swinging effect sometimes fails to play
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Sometimes the web-swinging effect fails to play. This can happen in the main menu, the pause menu, or in the overworld. Seemingly random.
- Workaround: No known workaround.
- First tested on: v1.7.5637
- Last tested on: v1.7.5661
- Github: Issue #10969
Non-Issues
Framerate sometimes slows down
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: Sometimes the frame rate will dip into the 40s or even the 30s, causing considerable lag. This can be seen in the first level of the game while swinging around the city. This is present on original hardware.
- Workaround: Set the EE cycle rate to 180% (130% will help). This is unlikely to cause issues, but it still might, so use it with caution. Additionally, only use it if your device is already powerful enough to comfortably run the game, as this will use more system resources.
