Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

Reviewed by:

The premise of this beat-'em-up: Spidey teams up with some of his known enemies (like Venom) to kick the asses of hordes of anonymous bad guys. Just like your Burger King Value Meal, all enemies come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. You can't die in the game. Go ahead and try—we dare you. Should you, say, misjudge a jump and fall to your "death," the game instantly respawns you. I know, you're probably thinking, Wow, what a cool idea! It's like that movie Coccoon, where all the old bastards won't ever get any older and they won't ever die! But dying is a fact of life. In fact, in the time it took you to read this, you're now exactly 45 seconds closer to your own death. (Two minutes if you happen to be dyslexic.) Now that we all realize just how short life really is, trust us when we tell you that you don't have enough time left to play shit games like this one.
