Not only did Next Level make this game from multiple inspirations, but they introduced a new Co-op play.  With Friend or Foe’s Drop in/Drop out system, the game can be switched from single player (with computer controlling the second person) to co-op or back to single player at any time during the game.  If someone needs to leave or doesn’t want to play, they can just “drop out” and their player will be taken over by the CPU.

The main story is that Spider-Man’s Nemeses have all been kidnapped and put under mind control. While under mind control, they are forced to commit crimes and be evil, the standard villain stuff. The twist here is that after Spider-man defeats the villain and removes the mind control device, that villain becomes an Ally and can now be selected for the second player to play as.  Being able to switch between characters helped to keep the game play fresh and new. As far as game play goes, I found this button-mashing combo game play to be fun, but quite repetitive.  When playing multiplayer the game felt more fun, but each user will experience something different based on who they are playing with.

As far as graphics and sound go, the game is reminiscent of the Spider-Man cartoon.  The game has a cartoon appearance and cheesy Saturday-morning cartoon dialog.  The sound effects also seem very fitting, and overall I think the look, sound, and feel of the game was well done and a great amount of fun. I definitely recommend checking this out.
