Yet another solid game in the Spider-Man franchise, this game features drop-in, drop-out interactivity (much like LEGO Star Wars).We reviewed the Wii version. In the game, two players can work together to defeat bad guys like Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Venom, and Sandman, and embark on a quest to overcome a worldwide evil threat. Players can control Spider-Man and one of many Super Hero or Super Villain characters and master unique fighting moves and styles while switching between characters to execute team combos and defeat enemies. Wii specific moves include the ability to punch with the Nunchuk (required), or throw enemies by twirling the Wii Remote. In addition, the game features a co-op mode in which a friend can join the game at any time and take control of Spider-man's sidekick as they battle together. Prices range from $20 (for Windows) to $50 (for the Xbox 360, Wii and PS3). Visit www.friendorfoe.com.
