I just talked to a friend of mine that has the leaked version. He confirmed the automatic web-swinging, but said that you can play exactly as past games (pressing and releasing, no turbo though) and that it feels great. And that the web-rush, when you get the feeling, it's just plain awesome.
Every mission can be replayed in the apartment (the thugs, car chases and such are random and infinite or, at least, a ton, apparently). The suit can get VERY ripped off. He actually send a picture of the suit after a robot fight:
The game is very Batman esque, apparently, it takes some things from it. For example, the photo missions are just like the Riddler's Riddles, it gives you a clue, and you have to take a picture of it. The story is told in a similar way as Batman, active story-driven objectives inside the free-roaming, you can complete them whenever you want.
Also, there are some secondary missions where you don't control Spidey, you control some kind of robot, and you have to record Spidey as he travels through the city using the web-rush. I assume these are some of the Bruce Campbell's missions.
The game gets harder as the chapters advance, it's not as simple as the playthroughs we have seen.
He's loving it
PS: Also, for europeans, the game is not dubbed. All the languages has the English voices, along with your language's subtitles.
