Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage

"Paint the town red!"

This game, in my opinion is the best Spider-Man game there is, until Spider-Man 3D comes out for Playstation.

Graphics-
They were aiming for a comic book look and they got a comic book look is what they got.Pow, bam, and other things appear when you are beating the pants off a thug. They aren't anything to write home about.

GRAPHICS 8/10

Sound-
The basic fist hitting head sound. (thock) They also have pretty good music from Green Jelly. It gets you in the mood for kickin' some bad guy butt. SOUND 9/10

Control-
Pretty basic. Punch. Web. Jump. That's it.

CONTROL 10/10

Story-
Carnage breaks out of Ravencroft, an institute for the criminally insane. He wreaks havoc. You save the city. Classic video game plot. You usually have to save something in a video game.

STORY 8/10

Gameplay-
Beat the heck outta everbody in sight. My kind of game. It is pretty fun too- well for a while. It starts to get more like a chore. Like the 20 foot tall robo dog. And thugs with guns. Sometimes it lets you choose between Spider-Man and Venom.It also has many secrets to keep you searching. Have fun!

GAMEPLAY 9/10

Replay Value
You'll want to play this alot, surprisingly. I guess it is fun to beat everything up.

REPLAY VALUE 8/10
