Well, Spider-Man 3 Looks Decent In Comparison

To refer to this game as "baby easy" would be an insult to infants. A less challenging game has yet to developed. It is, literally, almost impossible to lose. Actually, I'm not sure it's possible to lose.
OK, the story is that some robotic force is taking your enemies hostage via mind control. You are then teaming up with allies and enemies to fight whatever nefarious source for mind control evilness is out there.
I will now enlighten you and spoil the game by naming every single bad guy you will face in the game. This is not an exaggeration --- it is, in fact, every single enemy in the game: human-sized robot, larger robot, big robot, big robot with bamboo shield, big robot with metal shield, Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Goblin, Sandman, and Mysterio. This is the entire roster of enemies. And, as you can imagine, you don't fight many enemies outside of the first 2 --- so you will be fighting the same enemies over and over.
It couldn't be more tedious if it tried.
It is a moderately pretty game. The audio is decent. But the game is roughly as monotonous as any game has ever been. You can't die. You'll pop off 925 achievement points in about 5 hours --- but the last 75 points is a total marathon. A marathon run on shards of broken glass. With wolverines chasing you.

Almost Perfect Arcade Game! So much fun

I rented this with low expectations because I never heard of it. It was awesome to say the least. There's no amazing graphics or super sweet God of War gut ripping combos with a sick soundtrack. BUT, it's an almost perfect Marvel arcade game, and here's why!!!!! This is great for anyone of all ages; I'm unfortunately 25. and single.
Spiderman is the main character, but you always have at least 1 sidekick, whom you can choose to control at any time, making Spiderman the AI now. You unlock other teammates as you defeat them in about 20 levels. Levels have medium exploration capabilities , but are very engaging in that you can pick up almost anything and throw it at enemies or whatever. Everyone from Lizardman, Rhino, Doc Octopus, Green Goblin, and 9 more are here. Anytime you get sick of Spidey, switch to someone else.
The controls are also almost perfect. They are not overwhelming like other games. If you've played Ultimate Alliance, you'll feel at home here, and there are not many buttons to push at all. You do spend a lot of time button mashing X and B, but so what.
You can collect points to upgrade your skills as you progress, and your teammates' skills and attributes as well, which is cool. Customize away.
It was also extremely easy to get 1000 achievement points, which took me <6 hours. If you're a hunter, gather this one up for sure! This and TMNT are fun and super easy to get 1000.
I would say absolutely rent this. You can play co-op offline only, which blows, but it makes the game tons of fun if you have someone to play with, and pass the joint to.
