“Help Spiderman succeed in his latest adventure”

by James Thornton

Of all the superheroes, Spiderman is probably the one to earn the most box office bucks during his career. Of course, when he's not making millions for Hollywood studios he's out fighting crimes, and this latest adventure sees him team up with the unlikeliest of allies to save New York from a plague of militant aliens. Weirdly, once you've defeated the likes of Doc Octopus, Green Lantern and Venom in this humorous caper, they become allies and co-operate with Spidey to blast the bad guys.

This hare-brained story aside, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe basically plays like your standard side-scrolling beat-em-up, in the style of Capcom classics like Final Fight. Only in this case you're able to control Spiderman, or one of his aforementioned enemies, inheriting the unique powers of each character.

Each of the fairly diverse levels charges you with the task of defeating the aliens as you traverse from one end to the other. Unfortunately these baddies don't have much in the way of artificial intellegence, but because there are so many of the critters the game is still pretty challenging. Graphically, the game borrows more elements from the comic than it does from the film, giving it a surprisingly humorous aspect. Humorous, that is, until Spidey's incessesant wise-cracking becomes boring. That said, this is a polished adventure game that fans of the Webbed Wonder simply cannot afford to miss.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a unique take on the Spiderman franchise. Inspired by the movies Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, this action adventure game reinterprets big-screen moments and battles with a humorous twist.
