Switch Hero
Use this option to switch between Spider-Man and Venom.
Note: Only available after completing the entire game story. Before that, you'll be automatically switched between the two characters.
Play Both Sides
Ultimate Spider-Man gives you the opportunity to play as both Spider-Man and Venom. As you move through the city, be on the lookout for beacons of light that mark the starting point for a story mission. After completing a mission, you'll be returned to the city as Spider-Man so you can explore at will.
Between story missions, you'll need to complete certain objectives in order to advance. Check the City Goals section in the Pause Menu to see your current list of objectives.
Note: The tasks required to advance your City Goals accumulate as the game progresses. For example, if you find all tokens at the beginning of the game, you have completed that goal for the entire story.
As a reward for completing the game story, you'll unlock the ability to roam freely in the city as Venom or Spider-Man. Select Switch Hero from the Pause Menu to switch between Spider-Man and Venom.

Venom Combat Details
Venom has two attack styles, depending on the range of his enemy. If the bad guy is close, claws are a great way to deal lots of damage. While tentacles cause less pain than claws, they reach farther and can hit multiple targets at once.
