Playing as Venom or other Villains
Ultimate Spider-Man succeeded Spider-Man 2 and improved on an already solid foundation by offering a more cinematic storyline featuring a wider cast of Marvel heroes and a downright stylish cel-shaded art style. The game also did something rarely done in previous Spidey games by letting you play as one of his greatest nemeses, Venom. As Venom, players would have access to tendril attacks that would throw enemies and destroy tanks with seemingly little effort. You would also have to replenish your health by feeding on the helpless denizens of New York, which was a pretty dark feature to include in a game that was aimed at a younger audience.
Venom felt scary, and we’ve been able to play as Green Goblin in Spider-Man (2002) along with various other baddies in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe. However, we’ve not heard whether or not players will be able to also get to play as any villains in Spider-Man (2018). While it may be a lot to ask since the mobility system and animations look steep in their complexity, I’d totally settle for a Superior Spider-Man outfit though.
