 ACTIVISION UNITES MARVEL’S SUPER HEROES AND SUPER VILLAINS AT RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE WITH SPIDER-MAN™: FRIEND OR FOE    

Santa Monica, CA – October 3, 2007 – It’s time to experience the ultimate fighting team as Spider-Man unites with popular super-heroes and powerful super-villains from the movie trilogy and beyond in Spider-Man™: Friend or Foe from Activision, Inc.  Throughout the game’s original story and thrilling battles, players are challenged to defeat and then join forces with notorious movie foes including Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Venom and Sandman, as well as others from the classic Spider-Man family of characters, and embark on a global quest to overcome an evil threat.    

“Inspired by both the Spider-Man film trilogy and the classic Spider-Man comics, Spider-Man: Friend for Foe is a unique take on the most successful Super Hero franchise of all time," said Rob Kostich, vice president, global brand management, Activision, Inc.  â€śFor the first time ever in a Spider-Man game, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe features a unique 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 side-by-side and replay favorite levels."    

As the Spider-Man: Friend or Foe experience unravels, Spider-Man and his sidekicks unlock a variety of arenas and secret areas containing special tokens which allow players to revisit previously explored levels at any time as well as fortify their cache of collectables and power upgrades.  Gamers can also replay levels as Spider-Man’s darker, more mysterious persona, Black-Suited Spider-Man, and experience a robust Versus mode, with multiple arenas, where players match up any two characters and battle it out to see who wins.    

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is available now for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo for a suggested retail price of $49.99, the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system for $39.99, the Nintendo DS™ for $29.99 and the PC for $19.99.  The game is rated “E10+" (Everyone 10 and older – Cartoon Violence) by the ESRB.

I don't know about the Wii version, but judging by the 360 version's demo (which made me want to dig my heart out with a wooden, splintered spoon) I won't be picking this up.

This game managed to make me NOT enjoy playing Venom.  I thought it wasn't possible...

Wow, the PC version is budget priced? Talk about mark-up for the rest of the versions...

I'll wait for some of the reviews to come out. It seems everyone is having their own reservations about it...
