    Spider-Man: Friend or Foe may be aimed at younger audiences but is a great if simple brawler, sound effects are ok and voice acting is passable, but the controls are great and easy to access, the graphics are great and one of the better looking games on the Playstation 2, it has some great co-op options and some cool unlockable characters, it has some pretty good versus options, all in allSpider-Man: Friend or Foe may be aimed at younger audiences but is a great if simple brawler, sound effects are ok and voice acting is passable, but the controls are great and easy to access, the graphics are great and one of the better looking games on the Playstation 2, it has some great co-op options and some cool unlockable characters, it has some pretty good versus options, all in all it's a highly enjoyable brawler.… Expand

    Now, I won't lie. This game does have some good points. I just seem to have forgotten them somewhere around the point I realized I was doing the same thing for the fiftieth time. The further into the game you get, the worse it gets. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to team up with baddies and the like while customizing Spidey but, everything else gets very old, very fast.

    While being directed at a younger crowd, the combat is innovative, the gameplay is (slightly repetitive, but even still) enjoyable, and the storyline is halfway decent. Definitely worth checking out.

    I feel and obsessive compulsion to play every Spider-Man game. The concept, box art, and greatest hits banner really caught my attention. Once you've played about 5 minutes of the game you feel like you've seen it all already. Sure there are upgrades to be unlocked, but you default to one or two of Spidey's moves and you spam them the entire game.

Once you've played about 5 minutes of the game you feel like you've seen it all already. Sure there are upgrades to be unlocked, but you default to one or two of Spidey's moves and you spam them the entire game. It's sort of fun to be able to play as Doc Ock and Scorpion until you realize all of Spidey's moves are much better. I spent maybe 30 seconds with every villain until switching back to Spidey. The levels are completely bland and uninspired. It's a simple beat em up with linear levels and no puzzles. Rinse and repeat until it's over. The team up super move is so lazy that it's laughable. The worst part of this game is that it's just incredibly boring and I couldn't wait for it to be over. The most interesting part of this is that it's technically a movie tie-in so it's supposed to be the same Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Spider-Man from the Raimi films. It's interesting that they released two Spider-Man movie games in 2007. Movies don't even get the one video game any more.

    James Arnold Taylor is fine as the voice of Spider-Man except he sounds nothing different than Ratchet in this. 12 year olds won't notice but I did damn it. If you're reading this in 2020 skip this game. There are so many better Spider-Man options for all ages.    … Expand

    This game is only worth a 6 because it has Coop, the rest is horrible from the monotonous and repetitive gameplay to the basic enemies that take time to die even with several hits

    Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, despite being aimed at a squarely younger audience, is a very fun game despite its simplicity. It doesn’t have the depth of something like say, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, but should provide plenty of fun for those looking for a simple brawler with characters from the Spider-Man universe.

    The game is obviously geared most toward the younger set, but even kids like a bit of challenge, right?

    Repetition and camera issues are damaging, but Spider-Man: Friend or Foe still prevails as the best PS2 brawler released in 2007 (thus far).
