Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (Page 2 of 2)

Allies have their own unique abilities and powers that can either help you or hinder you along the way. For example, Venom and Sandman act as tanks that can take and deal a lot of damage in close-range combat, but they lack long-distance attacks.

Spidey, on the other hand, is more of a scrapper and he fights better from medium range with web blast and swift flying kicks. There are several types of character classes such as a gadgetiers like the Green Goblin who rely on pumpkin bombs and other technical trickeries. And finally, there are blaster characters that prefer to fire from afar and avoid the fray.

Once a level is completed you can revisit it at any time and try out new combinations of characters. This replayability is a big focus for the team behind Spider-Man: Friend or Foe. With plenty of unlockables, secret areas, and 13 super heroes and villains to team up with, Spidey's newest adventure promises to be your little brother's next big addiction.

Drop It Like It's Hot

Although there will be drop-in/drop-out co-op, that functionality is limited to one console and two controllers, meaning Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is not an online game. Developer Next-Level Games has, however, included a simple versus mode where you and one other player can choose from any character unlocked in the single-player campaign, upgrades and all, for a battle to the death. It's the mode you've always wanted in a game like this. "Who would win in a fight? Doctor Octopus or Green Goblin."

From what we saw, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe doesn't look like the next Ultimate Alliance game, but rather a simplified version that cuts out the crap and sticks to the three C's, as producer Jamie Bafus likes to say-"Combat, coop, and collectibles." The adventure begins this fall.
