Yah, but as certain missions that I don't think had anything to do with Spidey such as feeding on people and fighting Wolverine.

[Picard Sisko]

I still never played USM. I hope it goes on sale at the PS store.

[Doc Ock]

I've always wished for a good Spider-Man game with multiple characters playable like Black Cat, Doc Ock, The Lizard, etc. Like Harry as the Goblin in the first movie game but more than that.

I have it on PS3. But haven't played it much due to the evils of college.

One day we shall get the definitive Spider-Man game. One day...

Well, there's Friend of Foe. It's nice to play with a friend or a relative.

Yeah I enjoyed it but you didn't get to play as a more classic version of Venom, like web shooting.

But that game isn't very good unfortunately.

Yep. They also did a 'what if' for the King Kong game, where Kong tears down all the planes and goes back to Skull Island. A 'what if' with Lizard's plan would've been interesting. If it had, people who transformed for long periods of time would've been messed up mentally with these new ways of thinking. Productivity in NYC would've ground to a halt. It'd be a no go zone.

Yeah its fun, I figured this would be mentioned hence the "good" hehe. Like the quality of some of the best Spidey games.

I would say its kinda like the Lego games but without the Legos. Mindless fun.

[Picard Sisko]

Friend or Foe had a lot of potential, since it took all of the villains from the Raimi films and put them in one game. What was the premise of the game though?

[Doc Ock]

Don't remember, me and my cousin skipped all the cutscenes lol. An alien/symbiote invasion I think. Nick Fury and SHIELD were involved. You'd be on the Helicarrier when choosing missions.

Basically what was said above. The villains were kidnapped and put under mind control through a device using the symbiote. Mysterio was behind this. I don't remember his intentions, though.

[Picard Sisko]

Was the game only loosely based on the movies? After all, 3 out of 5 villains were killed off.

Right. 4 out of 5.

Both goblins were impaled by their own gliders, Doc Ock drowned, and Venom was hit with a "pumpkin" bomb. Sandman just flew away...

It just took the characters from the movies - Spidey and the 5 villains (and the symbiote). Nothing else.

[GENERAL RAAM582]

The game looks to childish for me.

[Picard Sisko]

Yeah, I agree. Wasn't it rated E10+ also?

[Comics N' Toons]

He was much better than Spiderman 3's Venom, but not as good as Molena's OCK and slightly better than Defoe's Goblin, IMO!

[Anno_Domini]

Anything was better than S-M 3's Venom.

Hell, and I'm gonna say it...

Talia al Ghul in TDKR was better than Venom, lol. And that's saying a lot because she was the worst.

LOL. I agree!

ahhh, that sounds so silly I can't stand it

the turning everyone to Lizards is clearly a product of the golden age of comics (or silver age? whatever) but even then they didn't get the idea correctly. The plan shouldn't be sympathetic, it made me feel that Doc Connors was the villain and the Lizard was just a form. When he's in "villain mode" and saying villanous things he should also be the Lizard at the same time (otherwise what's the point of the flat face?) and the plan should be more like that he hates the human race, he really has this utter disgust towards them so he wants to build a new world in his image

Using the formula from earlier in the thread...

Appearance
1. Lizard
2. Doc Ock
3. Venom
4. Sandman
5. New Goblin
6. Green Goblin

Script/Plot
1. Otto Octavius
1. Curt Connors
3. Harry Osborn
4. Flint Marko
5. Norman Osborn
6. Eddie Brock

Performance
1. Alfred Molina
2. Rhys Ifans
3. Willem Dafoe
4. James Franco
5. Thomas Haden Church
6. Topher Grace

Lowest score wins:
4 - Lizard
4 - Doc Ock
12 - New Goblin
13 - Sandman
14 - Green Goblin
15 - Venom


based on the rankings from the formula, Harry Goblin is ranked higher and Venom is ranked lower than I actually think I would rank the characters, but this formula weights acting and script heavier than overall aesthetics and cool factor.
