The best cutscenes matched with the worst game.

SPider man: Friend or foe, is another great example of games made for next-gen but result in extreme last-gen. The paper thin plot of SPider man FoF is that some meteor crash landed on earth with, I believe, had the same material on it that was part of what makes up venom. And someone's using them all to make holographic monsters where all the shards ended up falling at. The greatest part of this game are the briefing cutscenes, which are hilariously done. Once the game starts, however, you'll realize it is more like the x-men legends layout gone horribly awry, dumbed down to the very essentials.

The graphics in this game are not necessarily ugly, but simply just boring, there's no life on the beach levels(Which are somewhat reminiscent of Crash bandicoot), and the monsters you'll be fighting get extremely repetitive. It's the action of x-men legends but the RPG side of it, or lack thereof, makes the gameplay extremely boring to play through.

The sound isn't too bad, there's actually a little good voice acting here and there, mostly the more important characters like spiderman. But a 6 hour game with almost ps1 level graphics and horrendously boring gameplay doesn't make up for cute cutscenes. Getting this for $5 would be a rip off. Avoid this game.
