 Pretty good for a linear beat-em-up April 10, 2008
[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 ...
 decent October 31, 2007
First of all I'm not too fond of the matter of paying $40 - $60 on a game that I can beat within a 24 hour period. Unfornuately this is one of those games that fall into that category. Most of the other reviewers are right, it is very repeative. This is a game that's worth renting but definately not worth buying.
cool spider man game October 23, 2007

the reason i gave it 4 stars is beacuse it's a fun beat 'm up game. if your a spidey fan you'll like it.it's no ultimate alliance but i think it's the best spider man game. i played the movie games they were all right,but i like how you can play the villians and use characters like silver sable ;black cat and prowler and so on . the graphics are good ,and the controls are easy.unlike the movie games were you have to collect tokens and track people down it's the same old thing . and the ultimate spider man was too cartoony . like i said if your a fan ,and you like beat 'm up games then it's a game worth getting.
Yet another spiderman game. October 9, 2007

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.
 ehhhh... with a shoulder shrug October 6, 2007
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.
