Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

Semi decent fun!

(another review from my homepgae blog) Well to start with, this wasn’t that bad a game, not great, but not bad at all. It was quite fun and I actually enjoyed it more then previous Marvel games such as Ultimate Alliance and the 2 previous X-men games similar to it. The camera moves better, it plays a bit smoother, true the graphics are a bit more cartoonish and its only 2 player (vs. 4 in UA & X) but the game plays a bit more enjoyable. Now I’ll admit it’s pretty much a button mashing game where your pretty much just using 1-2 buttons to kill everything, but it makes it great to play with the kids, wife, or anyone else that may not be a hardcore gamer and doesn’t require a huge learning curve. The games relatively short so renting it will get your full use of it, replay value isn’t too high unless you enjoy unlocking all the extra goodies for your extra characters or playing vs 2 player. As you noticed in my last review I said $60 was a good price for the last game, and I will start to rank games based on dollar value I feel they are worth. I give Spider-man FoF $10, either as a used buy someplace or a weekend rental.
