Is Venom playable in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?
Yes, you can play as Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. However, there is just one catch. Playing as the antagonist is limited to only a single mission, the time when Harry Osborne becomes the Venom. In this mission, you’ll find a fully-fledged fighting sequence between Venom against Kraven and his army.

However, you can’t switch to him like you can with Peter and Miles.
The best part of the segment is that it features a proper moveset and not a recycled version of the existing animations of either of the Spideys. So, yes you technically do play as Venom, but it’s not something you really control.
You also get to feel the wrath of Venom in this mission, considering how fierce and gigantic it is!
