Maximum Carnage or Separation Anxiety?

Which is better and why?

I never read S.A., but I played both games and Maximun Carnage was way better. The storyline also introduced me to one of my favorite Marvel heroes, Iron Fist.

Yea those were some great games. I can remember going to the store to rent Maximum Carnage and my dad was like, you sure you wanna get that, it looks pretty violent. And i was like no dad, this is a Spider-Man game. Haha, man i need to track those games down.

Maximum Carnage.. It was fantastic. I remember being "blown away" by the graphics of Separation Anxiety though.

These games were way too hard for me as a kid but I still loved them since you could play as Spidey and Venom co-op. I'd really like to give them a try now but I don't own a SNES.

Maximum Carnage is easier on the Genesis

maximum carnage - that fight with carnage at the end was brutal though if u didn't have a strategy

I beat Separation Anxiety first, but Maximum Carnage had the better soundtrack and gameplay. So, MC.

No contest, Maximum Carnage is way better! Still play it in the SEGA every once in a while.

Now that I own both games, I would have to say that Maximum Carnage has better graphics and level design. The music is also a bit better. But Separation Anxiety has much better AI. Enemies have individualized behaviors, unlike the "hive mind" of the enemies in MC. They can now jump kick, so one has to strategize how to avoid air attacks as well as on the ground.

Also, Separation Anxiety allows one to choose to play Venom from the get-go, AND it's multiplayer.

Of course, I'm early in MC. I like the enemy behaviors in Separation Anxiety more, but the controls in MC are a bit better.

I guess I will just say they're both good games

The Sega Spider-Man Arcade Game is better than both of these.

"Maximum Carnage". That game was good times. I was just shocked with myself when I finally beat the game.

Maximum Carnage
Simply cause that other thing is a clone, with minor visual upgrades

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

You mean downgrades The only thing more technologically advanced is the backgrounds in SA, which are pre-rendered. This more detailed computer work ironically, doesn't blend with the traditional artwork (which is pretty simplistic to begin with). It makes the characters look like paper cutouts, rather than PART of the game environment.

Notice how much bigger Spidey is on the left, with lines around his muscles.

I never played Separation Anxeity, Maxium Carnage was fun though for a simple beat 'em up game.
