There is fun to be had

First of all, I want to address to everyone that is reading that this game was designed for a much younger audience in mind. I believe adults or older teens looking for the more mature Spidy game that followed the recent movie plots should take that in consideration. The title's core gameplay consists of Spider-man and a teammate fighting a bunch of creatures who are under the command of a mysterious enemy. You do nothing else but fight and that is where the problem lies. Maybe the developer wanted to keep it as simple as possible. What is good about the game is that there is a range of Spider-Man's most notable villains that you can play as. Most of their "special" moves are refreshing. You earn tokens to buy more of Spider-Man's webbing abilities. You can also upgrade your sidekicks as well. And as one reviewer pointed out, the co-op play deserves credit in the fact that if your partner playing along side of you decides they want to quit, they can do so without losing your game.

Disappointingly lame

Spider-Man has tended to have a pretty decent track record over the past few years in the video game arena, with the earlier released Spider-Man 3 being the only real disappointment. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe attempts to put a different spin on the Spidey/brawler formula, but sadly, the end result is pretty disappointing, and above all, it's pretty lame. Friend or Foe begins with an interesting enough premise: someone is using symbiote-controled villains to wreak havoc, and head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury has recruited Spidey to take them on and team up with his various rogues in an attempt to take down the mystery villain behind it all. Teaming up with the Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and more? It sounds great on paper, but what kills Friend or Foe is how ungodly boring the game's action elements are. Beat up one group of baddies, move on to another, repeat. This is basically the whole concept of Friend or Foe. Now I like beat 'em up's as much as the next guy, but Friend or Foe is so easy  more

Spiderman Spiderman What a Concept Spiderman

This review I am doing with the assistance of my 10 yr old... This game is great. The only bad point is camera control is non-existant. You can only look where they let you. The graphics and scenery is stunning and the villians rock. The best thing about this game is that the 2nd player can come in and out as they please. Meaning, if little brother begs to play and then gets bored with it, you don't have to reset the game. Just let him opt out on the pause screen and you are back to the game.
My son has completed the game twice and keeps playing it, He usually finishes a game and it is back to the video store, but not this one. Highly recommend for kids and adults that love Spider-Man and his Villians.
