You’ll play as your chosen character for the entire game, which is the same for either character except for some changes to the text cutscenes. When you start a single player game, you are asked to choose between Spider-Man and Venom. The game doesn’t follow the comic book storyline completely though, leaving out a lot of details and making the story a lot more simple. The plot is centered on Venom and the Life Foundation, with the organization forcefully extracting five symbiote offspring from our anti-hero in order to create superpowered henchmen.
