• Fight against movie Super Villains and then, using an innovative combat system, face off against and defeat some of the Spider-Man movies' most notorious Super Villains such as Doc Ock, Sandman and Green Goblin, and then convert them to join Spidey's list of potential sidekicks.
• A unique co-op mode lets friends join the game at any time and take control of Spider-Man's sidekick. Playing in two-player co-op mode allows gamers to discover new ways to overcome obstacles and enemies.
• As players progress through the game, battle arenas are unlocked where raw one-on-one brawling with any Super Hero or Villain can take place at any time.
• Replay the game or experience Versus mode with a different sidekick and eventually play as Black-Suited Spider-Man (Spidey's darker, more aggressive persona) with different powers and abilities.

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

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. It is all in the pause menu. I think this is a good rental since beating the game isn't difficult, but playing as some of the other characters are fun. In my opinion, Blade was pretty cool and he should get his own adventure title with all of his arsenal and abilities. Scorpion had some awesome moves in this game and lets not forget about Sandman.

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

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.

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

I played and solved this game in about 8-9 hours with my nine year old son. The game was fun in two player mode. This is a typical beat 'em up game with lots of button mashing. There are a few combos, but it is very simple to learn. The fun of the game is unlocking the new characters to play. Not only do you get heroes like Blade, Black Cat, Iron Fist and the Prowler, but you also get classic villains like Sandman, Lizard, Green Goblin, Venom, Scorpion and more. As an adult the game levels were a bit repetitive since you basically fight the same phantoms level after level. Though they do level up and change appearance as you go along. The puzzles are easy to beat and we had no trouble finding our way around. Once in a while the camera view is a bit wonky, but it is not bad overall. If you have a child at home, this is a great game to play with them. If you are an adult and want a game you probably can solve in a day, then rent this one and save yourself some money. I hope they make a sequel since there are plenty of spidey villains and heroes left untouched by this one. Vulture, Hobgoblin, Kraven, and Electro are just a few that could be used.
