A demo Activision's upcoming wallet-liner, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, has hit Xbox Live today. Coming in at 431.29 MB, the demo puts Spider-Man alongside either the Green Goblin or Venom, as they battle it out on the roof tops of Tokyo.
My wife and I fired up the demo this morning to give some of the co-op action a try, and what we found was an average looking and fairly straight forward beat 'em up. The game reminded me a bit of LEGO Star Wars -- simple, and for the first three minutes of the game, I found myself stuck in an infinite death loop after falling off a ledge. Still, in the vein of Traveler's Tales' title, it seems like it could be some mindless but enjoyable action.
Spider-Man: Friend of Foe ships on October 2 for everything but the PlayStation 3. No, really, I mean it.

If you play around and learn the combo system it's almost Kingdom Hearts-ish in a way. Totally worth a rental, but probably not any more than that.
No one has bashed the game. It was obviously designed with children in mind. So was LEGO Star Wars, and people love that game. They're very similar.
I had fun. GAWD.
I know no one has bashed the game yet, but to those who come in here to do so I wanted them to know. That is all.
So is that a little fuck you from Activision to Sony for Spider-Man 3 being a shitty movie and game?
Also sharks.
