Known for his stint in the super-violent Spider-Man mini-series "Maximum Carnage" and, um, that SNES game we played so long ago, Carnage will assuredly lend an over-the-top je ne sais quoi to MUA2's proceedings. We're not exactly sure what happens when you pair him with Spider-Man and Venom on screen, but we worry they might get eaten by Carnage, which could be really awkward.

Have you seen Anti-Venom yet? He's pretty cool, too.

Carnage and Venom both completely suck. They're dumbed-down, "evil twin" versions of Spider-Man. They're the worst crap from the 90s comics, and frankly, I think creating Carnage was a worse move than even "One More Day" was.

Carnages original story was good(and even questioned Spider-Man's morals as he went back on a deal he had on Venom!). Every Carnage story after that was awful. Venom started off in the 80s and was a wonderful character until he got milked for everything he was worth.
New Venom.....not so great.....

You're whining about Spider-Man when we have how many mutants on the roster, again?
At least it wasn't another one of them.

Unless there are some DLC maps, I'm not so sure I'm willing to buy characters.

I love me some Symbitotes. This trailer makes me wish that full current gen Spider-Man game will be made. No more games that will work on past gen so the over all quality is shit in 720p. I just ordered SMWS for $14, because I wasnt gonna get another bad "half current gen" game. Ultimate Spider-Man 2, where are you?!

So is it to give him different emotions? The only emotion he has is murderous rage and you don't need eyebrows for that. MUA3, spidey will have eyebrows, just you wait.

Those aren't eyebrows, lol. Its the tips of his white "eyes" wrapping around.

What the heck is wrong with the Video? It plays fine until the action and then it chokes like the thing was streaming through dialup - both in FFox and IE. Yet when I watch the exact same movie on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU9DYA8mHHo), everything is fine. What gives?

I had the Genesis version of Maximum Carnage; twas a gift from my comic-loving uncle. I used to play the crap out of it as a kid, but it beat the crap out of me. Thanks for the memories, Joystiq. :)

Looks like my initial hesitation towards buying MUA 2 wasn't unfounded. I had a feeling the reason there were less playable characters and less costumes per character was because they were going to milk the game for DLC.

Oh jesh.. are they serious Carnage?
Sorry the best recent comic book death was Sentry ripping him in half awhile back. I'd much rather of seen I dunno Doctor Strange, Nova, Punisher, Aries, Gauntlet (from Avengers The Initiative), Moon Knight to name a few.
That and why not make some of the characters already within the game playable? Justice, Firestar, Spiderwoman, Dagger all of them have character models already in game and to my knowledge shown some power usage while with your party.
And I do hope more map's are given out. The game in a nutshell is pretty quick, the only reason I'm still playing it is to unlock some trophies but I'm already 55% done and had the game for a week now.

Alot of characters in this game weren't involved in Civil War. Hulk was on another planet and Jean was dead.

Oh that I know Bubbameister lol. I was just about done with Marvel till Civil War happened and they sucked me right back in. Was kinda hoping that Hulks Alt. Costume would of been his Planet Hulk armor since they did have a preview of that movie within the game. That and your right on Jean she's been dead for awhile now (2 years I think?) I know some would of thought her Dark Phoenix costume as a cheap recoloring job but still another Alt. Costume I wished they had.
And Alton... um Lyja.. no thanks lol.. I've had enough Skrulls lately.

Is this video SUPER laggy for anyone else after about 11 seconds? No matter what browser I use, always lags.
