Dude, here's my insight on another board I posted on:

So I went to GameStop where *dun dun dulelelelelelelun* Spider-Man: Friend Or Foe was available for... $30!!! I got it, thinking it was one helluva deal.
I got home and put the PS2 disk in the ol' PS3, and commenced playing it.
"Aunt Jemima! It's Prowler!!"
The game's extremely simple: Spider-Man's employed by S.H.I.E.L.D. to save the world from a Venom virus. Along the way, heroes and villians are to be recruited for your cause *phonograph record scratch* ...What?
Yeah, cool, right?? ...Neee-yope! It's friggin' annoying. Bastards can't be beside you without respawning. Oh, and the playing gets extremely repetitive...
Run here. Bad guys appear; waste them foos! Run here. More bad guys appear; whip thier purple asses. Walk across this bridge. Even more bad guys appear; screw it, it's not like more will appear after this... right? Aw, dammit...
Tokens are given for everything and are need for everything! Upgrades for webs and characters... But if you die, (yes, you will die) guess what's needed to respawn you or your sidekick's ass? Tokens!
"But, say Kevin, what if you run out of tokens?"
Good question, random-person-needed-to-help-provide-an-answer-that-I-would-have-answered-without-having-a-random-question-being-asked-involving-this-here-review. A small percentage of your tokens will be taken each time you die, but apperantly you cannot lose.
I swear to you, I paused the game (or so I thought) to watch what was on TV. The Last Samurai later, I go from TV to Video and "WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!" I'm still alive with every enemy dead... I assume the retarded-ass AIs just fell off the cliff or something but my Spider-Man and Lizard where just standing there gawking forward...
Also, I played for three hours (not counting the time allotted for The Last Samurai) and I'm way over the half of the game...
Save your money for something else. Seriously, I think I'll pass it by tomorrow but only because I want to see who's behind the Venom virus...
I have no idea what was going through my head when I typed this up... I apologize...
