Friend or Foe?

Activision has revealed it's working on a new Spider-Man game to be released this autumn.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe aims to offer "A new twist on the legend" and "A new take on the movies", according to the freshly launched website.

Unfortunately Activision was unavailable to tell us anything else about the game, or confirm the release date in Europe. More information is expected to turn up when the full website launches "soon".

It sounds like it could be part of the Spider-Man Trilogy that Activision revealed in a financial statement last year - which was due for a late 2007 release.

Spider-Man 3 popped into cinemas last Friday and was accompanied by usual videogame side-dish. Unfortunately neither seemed to swing to the dizzy heights expected. Head over to our Spider-Man 3 review to find out why.

Good, maybe this won't suck balls like Spider-Man 3.

Stick a target lock in, add in the blatantly missing cutscenes, and sort out the balance when it comes to boss' health points, and Spidey 3 would be a brilliant game and would actually feel finished.

Do something different like...having to choose between good and evil...never been done in a game before. Specially a game including superheroes...

Heh.

I imagine we can play as the Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Venom, Sandman or the New (Harry) Goblin against Spider-Man himself.

It would be a good concept if it can be pulled off.

I get this strange feeling of deja vu. I always felt Ultimate Spiderman came pretty quick after 2. I liked both, so I'll probably be persuaded to buy this one too...

Do we really need another Spider-Man game less than six months after the current disappointment? Me suspects that this game will be conveniently released to coincide with Spider-Man 3's appearance on DVD, etc., and will likely be equally as rushed and rubbish... hey, call me cynical!!!

So where's the Wii review for Spider-Man 3? It's not just a port of the PC/XBox/PS3 game but built from the ground up. Justifies a separate review IMO.

The graphics looked really good on the Wii one when I checked the back of the box.....
I read on some forum or another that the Wii version is the most fooked version of the lot, and that the Wiimote control options are bloody awful and basically broken.

The film wasn't particularly great either, but I?d say it's worth seeing for Bruce Campbell�s part alone.

In that they still owe us a proper Spiderman 3.0?
