Spiderman games are like Afghanistan; bombed out and depleted. No, seriously, this game is not that bad, but it fails to impress. You can play co-op and add a sidekick which can either be Venom or Green Goblin. The controls are not bad, but Venom is by far the strongest of the three. The graphics look like a very good Xbox game, hardly next gen. You play through a level against some kind of robots and a boss battle that is just frustrating. There seem to be power ups and the game encourages teamwork, but the fun level is way low. Its a quick download so its worth at least checking out, but I would not add this to your Christmas list.
