This review is from: Spiderman: Friend or Foe (Video Game)

I have to say, I have greatly enjoyed this game. Despite the fact that its aimed for the kids, there's plenty here for anyone to enjoy. The number of characters for Spider-man to team up with is definitely a pro for this game. The characters range from well-known faces like Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom, to more obscure characters like Prowler, Silver Sable, and Iron Fist that a comic book fan like me appreciates seeing in the game. Each of these sidekicks has their own powers and play styles, and the fact that the game rewards you with a new sidekick every two or so levels keeps things interesting. The levels themselves are fun and varied, which also keeps your interest. The cartoon-like graphics fits the lighthearted feel of the game, though some of the characters look odd up close. Another high point is definitely the audio in the game. Voice acting is great, and the in-game dialogue is genuinely funny sometimes. Plus the banter of the computer during mission briefings is usually good for a chuckle or two.

Gameplay is very simple. Enter a room, beat up all the bad guys, a door or bridge opens allowing you to enter the next area where you do the same thing. There are some side paths that lead to hidden collectables, but a lot of them are very obvious, though a few are devilishly tricky to find. The game is a straight-forward beat-em-up, which is enjoyable if you're like me and just looking for a fun way to pass time without needing to think too much.

In terms of cons, the length of the game tops that list. It's very short, easily beatable in about six hours. However, if you're like me and have an innate need to find every collectable and fully upgrade every character, its fun to go back and replay certain levels or the entire game, as long as you keep switching up your sidekick. The other con to the game would be the enemy variation. Each level has four types of enemies: small, medium, large, and huge. These enemies do become tougher as the game goes on (gain projectiles and such) and they have a different coat of paint for each of the five locations, so this becomes possible to overlook.

Overall, if you're a comic book fan and looking for a fun game that doesn't require a lot of braincells, the large number of characters and straight-forward combat makes this game for you. If you're looking for something more mature and with more depth, try Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. However, this game made a fine addition to stack of Marvel Comics related games.

This review is from: Spiderman: Friend or Foe (Video Game)

Spiderman Friend or foe was a excellent but very short game. A person can finish this game in a few days. You can defeat bad guys like Green Goblin,Doc Ock,and Venom, and turn them into your sidekicks. BUY THIS GAME!!! I WOULD RECCOMMEND THIS GAME FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES!!!

My 4 yr old LOVES SpiderMan and this one lets him play not only as SpiderMan but all your favorite sidekicks and villians. He can't get enough of the game. He loves all the extras that you are able to unlock. It has coop play which lets someone else join in the fun at the same time. It's got great arcade action.
