• Choose a sidekick from a long list of Spider-Man's powerful allies and swap between the web-slinger and the chosen sidekicks at any time during gameplay. Each sidekick, good or evil, features their own unique attributes that will assist Spider-Man throughout the game's challenges.
• 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. On different worlds, a host of secret areas containing special tokens can be discovered in the first play through, which players can go back and explore at any time.

Great game for teaming up with the kids
Amazon Customer

If I was buying this game just for myself, I'd probably rate it lower. It's sort of a simpled down version of Marvel Alliance. Graphics, gameplay, and plot are all more cartoony. There are less characters, less stat tweaking, less control.However from the perspective of a dad looking for some quality time with the 7 year old boy, it's a great game. It's simple enough that he can master it, but varied enough that I'm not bored with the gameplay. He's been particularly tickled with the variety of characters and enjoys trying out each new team mate and their powers as you unlock them.Our 5 year old girl played it for a while and did have some fun, but eventually grew frustrated with it. Your mileage may vary, but that appears to be about the cut off.Essentially you start off with Spiderman and a few sidekick characters. One person must play Spiderman, but you can select which sidekick to bring along with you for each mission. As you collect coins, you can buy upgrades to the character's powers and stats. In each zone (made up of 4 missions), you can unlock one or two new sidekicks. Each mission takes about 20-30 minutes to complete.If you've got younger kids, you enjoyed the Lego Star Wars games, or Marvel Alliance, this game is probably a good choice.

Yet another spiderman game.
Ryan Ramsey

The first poster was absolutely right.First, the graphics are good but its just another game based on the same controlls that every other top down combat game is based on. I think its neat to play the villians for a change but really doesn't present anything new or novel.If you have Ultimate Alliance or Justice League this will feel quite the same.On the other hand, my kids love it and don't know or care about its plain-ness so that makes it a winner for me.

not as bad as people say
Amazon Customer

I got this game for [...]and I gotta say it was a lot better then the reviews I looked at. you start off as spiderman and you beat different bad guys. after you beat one then they join you. I felt the game was well orginized. You are asked to find certain things in the game and I felt they were placed well and you could find them relativly easy. One thing I hate the most about the "find the fill in the blank" on any game is how hard they are to find. This game was not that way. It was also an easy game to get into and learn right from the start. It was very refreashing to go from a hard game to learn (like mass effect, or Halo) to something that was straight forward.I would say that there are things that could have been annoying. One was the camara was hard to deal with. To make the game easer they took out the ability to move the camara by yourself so the game does it for you and sometimes you cant see what you want to see. the second is the length. If I had payed 20-60 on this game i would have felt cheated because it is short but for the price I got it I felt I got it for a steal. Also its rating for the age is right on. They say on the box for ages 6+. It is set for that age group so I would say if you are looking for a harder game that is longer this is not for you.

Great!

Thank you so much. This product shipped quickly, no scratches whatsoever on the disc, and was everything that the seller promised. My son loves it!!! I really appreciate this <3

Pretty good for a linear beat-em-up
AvangionQ

[Minor Spoiler Ahead]Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is good game for a linear two player beat 'em up ... its fighting system seems better than similar games, such as Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and has a wide array of combos, but that seems to be the game's primary strength. The game is unfortunately not without its flaws: the gameplay is short, linear and relatively easy - you could probably beat the game in a single 12 hour sitting ... the storyline is weird: that dome-headed Mysterio gets a hold of alien symbiont technology and tries to take over the world by creating holographic venom clones and by mind controlling other superheroes and super-villains, all of which join you as sidekicks after you meet, battle and/or free them ... the enemies are repetitive throughout the game and separated into size categories (small, medium, large, mini-boss, Marvel character boss), and don't have any proper special attacks/defenses to distinguish themselves - aside from the Marvel character bosses, of course ... the character upgrade system for your sidekick friends leaves much to be desired and many of the Marvel characters have either had their storyline changed from the comic version of themselves or are lacking in one or more core abilities during gameplay ... the static camera control prevents you from absorbing the scenery by allowing you to rotate the camera to look around ... coming from a roleplaying game standpoint, the game lacks NPCs and character interactions are minimal ... and lastly, too many of the boss fights are won by throwing objects at the super-villain ...To summarize: Its a fun but flawed beat 'em up and worth getting once the price comes down below $20 ...

ehhhh... with a shoulder shrug

I recently rented Spider-man Fof. Boy was that a good call. Not because the game is good, but being such a huge Spider-man fan, I'm glad I didn't rush in and buy it the moment it came out. Now I knew the graphics were going to be so-so from the trailers on tv. However, the gameplay in general is as poor as the graphics. The attacks are limited, unless your Spider-man, and become quickly repetative. In other words, after an hour or so, if you haven't already beaten the game, you become one of the button mashing zombies that your trying to defeat. Playing as villians from the Spider-man comics is fun for sometime, but the repetetive gameplay ruins it quickly, as well as the dorky backgrounds which make me feel as though I'm playing a game made for toddles, and I mean little toddlers. And don't believe the bull about beyond the movie. They just took the likeness of the characters and made a crappy game. (Hello, dock ock and the green goblin are dead!) The one plus I found was the versus mode. You can battle as and against any character you unlock in the game. However, you have to have a buddy to play with in order to access it and the arenas are limited unless you've unlocked all the secret areas in the game. So in conclusion, rent this game if you must thirst your quench for spidey, who for someone reason gets on my nerves rather quickly in this game (voice acting so-so). But it is not worth the $50 it's going for currently. All around it's just not a very satisfying game.Sorry Spidey.
