&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: if you are a young child, or have a young child, then this game would probably suit you very well. However, for the purposes of this review, I&amp;rsquo;m going to go ahead and assume that you are over the age of 10 and don&amp;rsquo;t normally play children&amp;rsquo;s games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;readMoreMarker&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think some video game developers need to learn that there is a difference between games that are fun for all ages, and games that are only really fun for children. Spider-man: Friend or Foe could have been a fun game for any fan of the comic book web slinger. Instead, it was so simple and dumbed-down that it was almost insulting.  For about the first ten minutes of the game, all I could think was, man, I wish I was playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead, I was stuck going through redundant levels with near-useless sidekicks. You get to choose your sidekick and even switch to that character if you so desire, but there&amp;rsquo;s really no need to ever do that, since Spidey always has better moves and combos. Unfortunately, those also get a little repetitive after about ten minutes.  Also, the game is short. You could beat it in a day, with little or no replay value, unless you&amp;rsquo;re really big on getting useless achievements for the 360.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The controls are easy enough to figure out without any explanation, especially since you&amp;rsquo;re going to end up doing the same button combos over and over again. I would tell you to rent it, but with all the great games that are already out or on their way, there&amp;rsquo;s no need to even waste your time.&lt;/p&gt;
