Spider-Man And Venom: Maximum Carnage

The player controls Spider-Man and Venom through various levels in this single-player side-scrolling beat 'em up (with a format similar to Double Dragon and Final Fight) to prevent the supervillain Carnage and his team, as well as hundreds of criminals they inspire in their wake, from taking over the city. Both 16-bit versions are nearly similar. Other Marvel characters may be summoned by collecting specific objects concealed throughout the game's stages. The locations of the power-ups required to summon assistance have been determined. The called heroes may assist in a variety of ways, depending on which character summoned them, and are typically more effective for whatever character (Spider-Man or Venom) they choose.

Points for purchasing upgrades and new combat skills are gained by killing adversaries or accomplishing various objectives in the "Web of Destiny". The points collected may also be used to buy 16 different outfits (four for each Spider-Man), which have no gameplay benefits and are merely decorative. There are some significant gameplay variations between Spider-Man games. For example, the Spider-Man Noir levels require players to hide in the shadows and take down enemies stealthily, whereas the Ultimate Spider-Man levels emphasize combat and frequently have the player fighting large crowds of enemies; this is possible due to Madame Web providing this version of Spider-Man with the symbiote black suit, which increases his strength.
