    Spider-Man Friend or Foe does a fantastic job bringing back the enjoyment of the pre-film tie-in Activision Spider-Man titles. The storyline is great, the presentation is top-notch, and other than a bit of repetition, the game is a fun romp for the whole family.

    Some flashy action, a playful sense of humor, and a clean visual style bring this otherwise straightforward beat-'em-up to life.

    Ultimately, Friend or Foe will not be confused for an epic and will likely be soon forgotten among Wii titles, but it is nevertheless a decent beat-em-up and is worth a rental or a bargain-bin purchase for co-op fanatics or hardcore Spidey fans.

    The game is obviously geared most toward the younger set, but even kids like a bit of challenge, right? Despite its downfalls, the game has its moments.

    A really, really good game for Spider-man fans of all ages. Even if you aren't really a spider-man fan, you'll still like the game because of its action, it's creative plot, the ability to play as villains, and it's family friendly nature. Anyone with a young or old Spider-man fan should get this game.… Expand

    The multiplayer was surprisingly fun as the single player was at times repetitive. 7/10

    Very enjoyable with a lot of variety. I personally love the sarcastic nature of this game.

    Suprisingly fun... I grabbed this in a rental, and I'm having a good time with my wife. The difficulty is not high, but that's really what we're looking for. Simple, beat-em-up fun. She's not a fan of screaming and remote-throwing.… Expand
