Hit B again and you'll probably swing them them around a bit and smash them on the floor amusingly.
You clobber them to bits by mashing X, or web-line/shoot/stun them with B.
You, and one of the 14 unlockable characters wander around lifeless environments on the hunt for some evil dude or other. Not convinced? Then I'll attempt to describe a typical encounter in Friend or Foe. It's a fun-free zone, where you're going through the motions. There's no place for games like this in the full price market - even for die-hard Marvel mentalists. So lacking in ambition is this game, it could have easily have been designed for the PSone and the ancient Sony hardware wouldn't have broken sweat. Evidently designed for morons who derive pleasure from joylessly stabbing X or B and killing everything without, you know, requiring any hint of skill whatsoever it's a game you can romp through by repeating the same boring moves against the same dull, lifeless drones, across five bland environments. PSone and onlyĬentral to the general boredom surrounding this game is the aforementioned piss weak combat. By comparison, Friend or Foe is limp and insipid, with a mere fraction of the features on offer in Raven's surprisingly decent effort. Having so many different characters and permutations (not to mention online play) offered a fair incentive to carry on, even when your brain was being numbed by the inherent repetition of the gameplay. This, frankly, stretches Marvel fans' patience beyond breaking point - especially in a year when we've already had to stomach one lacklustre Spider-Man game.Īt least last year's Marvel Ultimate Alliance was exhaustive attempt at packing in more content than any previous isometric brawler. That's not necessarily a bad thing in itself, but Activision has long been guilty of milking the ageing formula to death over the past few years. Problem number one: Friend or Foe is yet another isometric Marvel game. No wonder Activision's not shouting about it. It's a game with precious little content, piss weak combat, and some of the blandest graphics yet to hit the 360. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe has 'filler release for the young 'uns who don't yet know better' written all over it from the moment you start mashing those buttons in earnest, and scarcely gets any better hours later. Friend or Foe, Good or Bad? The answers are 'foe' and 'bad', I'm afraid.
