The game has more in common with the first Venom mini-series, Lethal Protector, that deals with the sometimes villain, sometimes anti-hero returning to his home town of San Francisco searching for a purpose in life and finding it in protecting a hidden under ground city of outcasts. Separation Anxiety shares a title with a 4-issue Venom mini-series but it shares little in common with the story other than the appearance of the five symbiotes spawned from Venom. Unfortunately, that’s about all they fixed.
With its sequel, “Spider-Man/Venom: Separation Anxiety,” developer Software Creations fixed this and allowed a friend to come along for the ride. ‘Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage” was a curious case in that it had top billing for two characters, yet it was a solo affair exclusively. In the arcade, where the games really exploded, cabinets could house 2, 4 sometimes even 6 players, though that number was reduced back down to 2 when they made their way to home consoles. What helps alleviate some of the tedium is being able to bring along a friend for the ride. But while the alien parasite begins a quest to reunite with Brock, fi ve symbiotic spawns of Venom get to him first! COLLECTING: VENOM: THE MACE #1-3, VENOM: NIGHTS OF VENGEANCE #1-4, WEB OF SPIDER-MAN (1985) #118-119, SPIDER-MAN (1990) #52-53, VENOM: SEPARATION ANXIETY #1-4.Beat-em-ups as a genre are repetitive by nature: punch some guys, move right, punch some more guys, more than likely ride an elevator, fight a boss, rinse, repeat until games end. The lethal protector continues his symbiotic crusade as the most fearsome anti-hero in comics! But the bounty hunter Mace and the Sunrise Society may well bring an end to Eddie Brock's new dawn! If not, perhaps the demonic vigilante Vengeance will be Venom's undoing, when the two dark warriors are targeted by the Stalkers! Then again, Venom might end up caught in the familiar yet different web of the amazing, spectacular.Scarlet Spider? One way or another, Eddie and his other half are heading for some separation anxiety.
