You're caught by the bad guys almost immediately, and for the rest of the ride, you're sent through one deadly hazard after another. You're nearly zapped, bitten, crushed, blown up, and sent plummeting to your death after getting zapped by the Anti-Gravity Cannon, saved only by the timely intervention of Spidey. Who mocks you for your trouble.
