• A unique co-op mode lets friends join the game at any time and take control of Spider-Man's sidekick. Playing in two-player co-op mode allows gamers to discover new ways to overcome obstacles and enemies.
• As players progress through the game, battle arenas are unlocked where raw one-on-one brawling with any Super Hero or Villain can take place at any time.
• Replay the game or experience Versus mode with a different sidekick and eventually play as Black-Suited Spider-Man (Spidey's darker, more aggressive persona) with different powers and abilities. On different worlds, a host of secret areas containing special tokens can be discovered in the first play through, which players can go back and explore at any time.

8 year old loves it! [Posted on 2008-08-13]
This is a fun and exciting game. My son thinks this is a lot of fun and loves moving up the levels and switching characters.

whole lot of fun [Posted on 2008-08-18]
I have had the game for about two months and just finished it. It was a lot of fun. I have been getting games for my two young girls and wanted something for me this time, and I was not disappointed. Even my 6 year old had fun playing. It could have been a little harder and yet I am not complaining. Go buy and enjoy.

Great game to play with your kids [Posted on 2008-08-29]
Totally fun. Nice graphics, the voicework/dialogue is unexpectedly funny. The action is not too intense for kids and the play-control is not hard for kids to understand. I have fun playing it, but more importantly, my 5-yr-old has a blast. The game is not so difficult to be frustrating, but not so easy to be boring. Each area has levels, bonus points, game structure is logical and accessible. It's a 2-player game that allows for special team moves and finishes, and it rewards teamwork. Playing with/against villains from Spidey's world is a thrill for the kids.

boring, redundant, monotonous [Posted on 2008-09-09]
I'm a big Spidey game fan so I thought I'd give this a shot. It is terrible. First of all, it's Spidey so you'd expect to be able to do a lot of web swinging. Wrong. You can swing, but the web line just goes straight up, you swing about 6 inches off the ground and 5 feet forward, and drop down. And, you can run just as fast as swinging so what's the point? Spidey's attacks are limited and do very little damage. The gameplay itself is so repetitive. All you do is walk, beat up a few bad guys, walk, beat up the same exact bad guys, walk some more, and beat up the same bad guys. It's easy, but every time you encounter some bad guys, you're forced to wait 5 seconds so you can watch them appear. Trust me, that gets old fast. The bosses are all Spidey's enemies that are possesed by shards of the symbiote and after he beats them they become his allies and you can use them as your partner. The only thing that actually changes in the game is the scenery. Even the game Spider-man 3 was more interesting, and that doesn't say much. Don't waste your money on this game.

What an awesome game! [Posted on 2008-09-21]
I purchased this for my son who just turned 8 y/o. What a hit! He loves it - the moves are very intuitive. I'm not much of a gamer and I can do it. The "Join In" feature is great. His dad or I can ply for a few minutes, then jump out again. The graphics and sound are good, and the play is interesting. The only complaint I have is that you can't skip the cut away scenes. All in all this game is great for the whole family!
