Spider-Man has had a pretty good track record when it comes to the DS, which is part of what makes Spider-Man: Friend or Foe so disappointing. The game’s premise is quite interesting though: to stop a massive, mystery threat, Spidey must team up with a laundry list of his rogues gallery (Green Goblin and Doc Ock among others) and take down hordes of other baddies. While Friend or Foe starts out fun, the repetitive beat downs quickly degenerate into sheer boredom. The game looks decent enough, and the characters are well animated, and the moments of voice work are a nice touch too, but there’s simply not enough here to warrant more than a rental at best, and that may be too generous. There’s some fun moments here and there, but in the end, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe ends up being another quickly assembled, rushed out, licensed game that could have been better than it is.

Wireless DS multi-card play is what makes this game a huge hit in our family. Our two sons — ages 5 and 4 — are entertained by the teamwork option, playing as two superheroes or one as Spider-Man and the other as a villian — the Green Goblin or Sandman or, their favorite villian, Venom.
No doubt older kids will tire of the repetition, but I don’t expect most teenagers will buy a superhero title, choosing instead an RPG or simulation.
For little superheroes, this is a great little adventure and worth purchasing the extra copy so they can play together.

Great game, all the qualities you look for in a video game, it is equal to any wii game version of it. Every moment is super fun. I would recommend this game to kids 8 and over.

Fun game. My 7 year old daughter loves it. I purchased the xbox 360 controller to use on my PC so we can play it together.

Not too bad. the caracters have great abilities. kind of short. nice villans. could use more detailing in the backrounds. its cool that you can play as the villans, not just the good guys. it could have been better in a few areas, like more interactivity with stuff in the levels.
i say buy it!!
