Chances are, you don’t know what the Life Foundation is. Maximum Carnage was full of throwaway villains like Shriek and Doppleganger, but at least they were quasi-interesting when they first appeared Separation Anxiety pits you against a bunch of ill-conceived symbiote clones and the people who created the ill-conceived symbiote clones, the oddly named Life Foundation.

The storyline it came from was weak in the first place, and there’s no attempt to hide that here most of your time is going to be spent fighting color-swapped versions of the same enemy in exotic locales like the mall and the sewer for poorly explained reasons. It doesn’t progress the story with comic panels it gives you a wall of text before each mission and lets you go. Separation Anxiety, however, does not have that style. Like it or hate, it was there in full force. You had the moving comic book panels, the written sound effects with every punch, even the occasional sound bite of Carnage laughing his Joker-wannabe head off damned impressive for their time, still cool for ours, faithful to the subject material. Maximum Carnage had a definite and definitive comic book style to it. To fully appreciate how much Separation Anxiety sucks, you must fully appreciate how much Maximum Carnage rocks.
