    Half a Marvel

    Fast start, slow finish

    Spider-Man enters in a flash and the game starts off well; fast, fun and witty. Both the action and general feel hits the Spider-Man cartoon notes great. Attacks are flashy and extreme but all very accessible. More and more characters join in along the way, but the fun slows down and feels a little too plain to really stand out in the end.

    All flash, no finish

    Even though both character choice and attacks are plenty and varied, button-mashing will clear most screens out without any real thought to strategy. The different levels are OK but are little more than a straight rail turned into a curvy trail and doesn’t let you stray off-course. Even though there’s some good fun to be had here, without a real challenge and missing that little extra polish to keep you locked in, it doesn’t really linger in your memory.

    Pros & Cons

    + Good, cartoony fun
    + Lots of characters and attacks
    - Lacks challenge
    - Gets repetitive in the end

No need to worry about how to orient the camera, the game does it for you and quite nicely. the variety of plyable characters and the fact that a second player can ju...

      Spidey for kids, but a lot of fun! 0

      Spider-Man: Friend or Foe(Xbox 360) by gigastormz on July 25, 2008

      Spider-Man Friend or Foe is a 1-2 player beat em up similar to Marvel Ultimate Alliance only you play as characters from the Spider-Man universe. That is an easy way to describe this game. It's a lot like Marvel Ultimate Alliance only you play as two characters at a time (instead of 4), and it's a sort of dumbed down version of the game made for a younger audience. You can play as Spidey, or several allies and villains in the Spideyverse. Venom, Blade, Iron Fist, Silver Sable, Prowler, Black Cat...
