Spiderman: Friend or Foe

So I just finished Spiderman: Friend or Foe and I am reminded of a cry of anguish from JZ and that was.. “Man I’m really tired of searching through boxes…”
Depending on which site you go to the reviewers scored it somewhere between 4.9 and 7.0, and I’m thinking that’s a stretch.

The good:
The graphics are great and cartoony
You can play as villains if you so choose
The S.H.I.E.L.D. computer says some funny shit
No jumping puzzles
Oh yeah and it’s kid friendly

The bad:
Everything else
Repetitive, unchallenging game play
Uneven character development
Snoozy level design

I will say that you can get all but one of the achievements just by playing the game. If you’re into achievements and I know some of us are not namely Mrs. JZ aka the Baroness. (see my other post for all that) But you can't play as Venom until the last level and even then there’s no real point because the sidekick development is sooooo lame. But if you have a weekend to kill and don’t mind a little carpel tunnel then it might be worth checking out.
