OK, first this game is really easy. To be honest I am a horrible gamer. I cant remember how long its been since i beat a game. I easily get frustrated and i give up, and i hate hard games. But this was just too easy. I beat it in less than 4 hours. This is meant for kids and if you have kids that like spider man rent this for them. The in game money is tech tokens, which you use to buy upgrades. But basically your health is tech tokens. You do have a health meter but you can die infinite times on a stage and you will lose a few tokens. You can die on boss battles but that is hard to do. The game is a beat em up and that is what i like. People say it is repetitive but i dont think it is. With all the upgrades its fun beating up enemies with different moves. You beat a boss and it joins you. After you beat the game you will have about 15 sidekicks. But I would rather have 1 or 2. All sidekicks have the same moves except one or two. Spider man has the most moves and he is the best to play as. My friend was over yesterday and I was Spider man and he was venom. He was jealous because i could do more than he could. The game has a co op and versus mode but the versus is boring. And the game barley uses the Wiimote, and the games isnt free roam like the other ones. And there is something that ties to spider man 3 the movie but i wont spoil it.

The game is very easy to pick up and play, not overly involved,. Levels are quick to defeat as well as bosses. My 5 year old has no problem playing it. I can drop in/out to help him through tough parts but the AI for the computer is not difficult against you and helps a lot when playing by yourself. Lots of fun characters and a bonus versus mode makes for lots of fun as well.

Best Game Ever (for now)!

This game is a great game for kids and teenagers. It has lots of fighting and is sometimes challenging.

My favorite part of the game is when you get to unlock new characters and villians. They have lots of awesome powers and upgrades.

It took me 3 or 4 days to finish the game, so it's not TOO hard. I had fun the whole time.

I think you should get this game as quick as possible.

This game is superb. I recommend it to anyone looking for fun. It captures all of spidermans unique skills and more. Theirs manuevers in this game that I've never even heard of. The only thing they need is some sort of mini games or something. I beat it and now it's still fun but the setting sort of bores me.

I got this game in the first place because i'm a huge fan of spider-man even though the graphics SUCKED TO HECK!!!! i thought it might be cool to fight with villians like the Venom and Green Goblin but the whole game is the exact same thing u start out in tokyo with either silver sable or prowler as ur buddy then u fight these guys called phantoms that are dressed up as white armored samuri and once u kill a small swarm of two hit kill phantoms a bridge extends and u go a cross and kill more phantoms and cross another bridge and so on and so on until u cross a bridge that lead to a big fat phantom(probably 20000000000000000 pounds) then u finish the level a few bridges later and about every other level you fight villians like the sandman and rhino then they become ur friends. i only kept the game because my little brother liked it and i thought the story line was cool and would have a good ending but the ending SUCKED TO HECK!!!! u fight mysterio and destroy the crystals he uses to make the phantoms then u go home and eat pie with aunt may. so all in all this game is only good if u like to cross bridges and on occassion walk through doors otherwise this game reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly SUCKS TO HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pros: extremely intuitive game controls making the game great. spidey's moves made the game as well.

cons: a bit too easy. no need at all to upgrade your 'sidekicks' because they never really die. you don't die for that matter either, except during the boss stages... complete lack of variety on the enemies. 4 types. that's it.

lots of potential for this game, it just feels half utilized.

now marvel.... make a game akin to 'marvel alliance' with the great wii controls of this game .... you'd have a real winner.

Great Game for Father & Son!

This is really a fun game. My seven year old son and I love to play together, and we both find the game interesting and exciting. It's not very challenging, although there are a few enemies that can give novices a little trouble. All in all, i highly recommend this game, especially if you are a spidey fan and if you're looking for a game to play with younger family members.

This game is terrible! it seems really babyish for a teen game. With spider-man you cant even swing around on a web. It is very boring.

Very, very easy game. Good for when you don't want to be challenged too much and want to relax. Good training for kids too.

This game is awesome. I would recoment it for any age. It has dark celled graphics which give it that nice cartooney look like in zelda windwaker. I was impressed with the graphics especially for the nintendo wii. I loved the 5 different areas to go to on the planet. Every marvel character including Blade comes into play in these games. My only wish is that the game had been twice as long.

Spiderman Fan Disappointed

posted by VampXand (GARLAND, TX) Sep 22, 2009

I am a huge Spider-man fan and there have been a lot of bad Spider-man games in the past. This game is not a bad Spider-man game, it is more like one step higher than a bad one. It is very childish fighting system. One button... literally one button action. And the graphics are not up to par, even for being a Wii game. I rented this game hoping it would be decient maybe even keepable as a Spider-man follower, but it just isn't in me. It was that bad. I suggest not even renting or even playing, but if you are a Spider-man follower and must play, try to borrow from some moron for free or rent if you must

-1 point for lack of fighting styles and action required by the player
-1 point for horrible graphics
-1 point for horrible music
-1 point for poor/lack of storyline
+1 point for being a Spider-man game (just because I love Spider-man too much)

Friend or Foe is a great game, partly because of its charm and simplicity, and partly because it has grouped together some great villains as playable characters. If only they'd do the same thing with Batman (LEGO version aside).

Pros
-really good, although cartoony, graphics
-fun combat system
-great character assortment

Cons
-too easy
-shortish
-so-so story

An 8.5.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Kill the guys doing neat moves, open the bridge, cross the bridge, kill the guys doing neat moves, open the bridge, cross the bridge, um...Just a bit too repetitive for me.

Not enough to make me want to come back and keep playing.

This game is for VERY young kids. It is way too easy. My 11 yr old got bored with it in a half hour. That is very unusual for him. Don't bother getting this game if you are over about 6 yrs old.
