Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just what we were looking for...
I am writing this review to hopefully help someone in a similar situation as my family with Wii game buying. We got our Wii for Christmas and our son is just about to turn 4. He got the Go Diego Go Safari game when we got the Wii (by the way, I also recommend this title if you are looking for something that very little children can play on the Wii.) He played that game a handful of times, won the game, and now won't touch it, it's too easy. However, there seems to be a gap between that game (there aren't many that young) and the bulk of the games which are much too difficult or slow moving. So...we are having a hard time finding anything besides Mario Kart he can/will play. When we were shopping recently we found a sale rack of Wii games and this one was on there. It went against my better judgement to buy it without reading the reviews first, but he absolutely had his mind made up that this was the game he wanted. The main point of my review is to encourage buyers looking for games they can play WITH their younger kids. I am not sure he would do as well alone, but I am astounded how well he does when his dad or I play with him, in fact he really does as well, if not better than I. I agree with many other things that other reviewers have said, that the graphics and tone of the game in general are light hearted enough to engage kids. The controls are easy enough to figure out, if you care, and if you don't (like me) or are really young (like my son) then you can just push the "A" button over and over and still be effective. However, there are upgrades and combo moves and all that fancy video game stuff, that my husband will not die of boredom or frustration when he has to play with our son. And again, I think the graphics are a great mixture of realistic and cartoon to be pleasing to many levels of players also. Additonally, I can see that it will grow with our son (and his younger brother in a year or two) and therefore I am very happy with the purchase. Overall I am very pleasantly surprised by this game, and think it is filling a void in our Wii library and highly recommend it for families.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Brings out aggression and irritability in some players.
My son loves Spiderman and really wanted this game. Since it's Everyone 10+ I thought it would be fine. He does enjoy playing it and I play with him, but I have noticed increased aggitation and irritability in him while he is playing, but also for a day or so after he plays it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good game
This one isn't so hard that we couldn't complete it like some, there is a lot of fighting which can get a bit stale after a while. It doesn't make good use of the wii controller though, you use the buttons to fight and do tasks. I had thought that it would use the wii like some other games where your motion make the moves but this game doesn't and I can't find anything in the controls that would sugest this kind of usage. I like the game but they really missed the mark bu not using the wii to it's potential.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - better than most
i play this game with my 5 year old and he loves it. the camera angles work well as do the fight machanics. very simple button mashing fun and many of the characters are here. if your kid likes spider man and they want to game a little here you go.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good game for less hardcore gamers but can get boring for older kids
i got this game for christmas just as an extra present.

Pros:

fun versus mode.
easy
simple
lots of missions so this is not a game that you beat in a short amount of time

cons:

enemies appear form nowhere
repetitive gameplay
cartoony graphics
non interactive controls so even though ti is a wii game it plays just like any other system.
too easy for serious gamers such as my self
versus mode requires that you unlock levels by playing story mode so you only start out with one level...

this is a great game for kids around the ages of 6-12 especially if they arent into long story modes and difficult gameplay, if violence is an issue this shouldnt be too bad because all you do is punch, throw and smash the enemies into the ground until they disappear into nothingness, great for younger players but for older kids try something else
