About this product

Product Information

The superhero universe is embroiled in civil war, and it's time for players to choose sides in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. The game is a mission-driven action-adventure with a focus on small-squad combat, viewed from an isometric perspective. As in Marvel's earlier 3D action games (such as titles in the X-Men Legends series, as well as the original Marvel: Ultimate Alliance), role-playing aspects also influence the adventure, with gamers choosing which heroes to control, and how to improve their various superpowers and abilities as they gain experience by defeating enemies and accomplishing goals.<br><br>In most scenarios, a team of four Marvel heroes battles a path through areas teeming with high-tech defenses, heavily armed thugs, and rival superhero and supervillian enemies. Players can switch control between the characters, while the computer takes control of additional teammates. Co-operative multiplayer modes for up to four are available, both online and for same-screen players. While all the heroes and villains can perform basic maneuvers such as leaps and melee attacks, each also has a distinct superpower. Over two dozen heroes and villains are available for play, and the special powers of any two super-beings can be combined into a new, even more powerful "fusion" ability. A team with a good mix of special abilities is better prepared for the diverse dangers and challenges that wait in each mission.<br><br>The story of the Ultimate Alliance 2 is taken from the Civil War saga, the major crossover event that was first revealed in the pages of multiple Marvel comics in 2006 and early 2007. The U.S. government is calling on all super-powered humans to reveal themselves and register with an official agency, for the safety and protection of the population at large. Heroes and villains now reevaluate past loyalties and regroup according to their stance toward this conflict, which pits the security of the people against the liberties of the individual.

    Alliance almost a Marvel

    Continuing with same concept as previous alliance. A unique and different set of heroes. Very good graphics although gameplay tends to get muddled a bit with viewpounts. The combination of heroes combining unique powers is refreshing. But having to restart from checkpoint instead of where you actually left off takes a bit patience. While cheats do add depth and the ability to explore landscape your just not rewarded here. If you use them no " savies" have to play through which can take on your level 6 or more hours,again if using cheats. And have to play always until you get to change team members. But all that nit- pickn' aside,it's still fun to alternate characters,especially new ones hardly used in games,venom,juggernaut,gambit..few more. Great moves,amazing specials so all in all do expect a great representation of everything Marvel here ( makes it more appealing that xmen and fan 4 are back where they belong!) So enjoy have fun keep expectations and patience in check. Excelsior!!!

    The disc looks good but the game doesn't...

    The disc looks good but the game doesn't boot up on my console. It could be the game or my console itself. The other game I bought works fine. I'm not angry or anything like that.

  • All Around Great Superhero Experience

    If you're looking for the world's best isometric top-down dungeon crawler RPG (which is one of the most specific game genres I've ever encountered), this may not be it. It lacks certain elements of an RPG, with your options for upgrading heroes being fairly limited, and the combat can get somewhat repetitive at times. However, if you're looking for the best large-roster superhero fighting game there is, then by George I think you've got it. It has a little over 20 heroes/villians once all is said and done and this game makes several improvements over it's predecessor. 1) The graphics are quite good which makes a huge difference in how the game feels. 2) Many of the characters combat styles are improved and while their power selections are more limited, the developers kept and improved on the best powers from the first game so there's nary a lame one that you wouldn't use. 3) The story is also compelling and keeps you wanting to play through the whole thing, and then do it all over again as the other side of the registration debate. All in all, this game represents hours of fun, and lots of superhero-ing which will satisfy even the biggest of comic book fans, such as myself.

  • Awesome game

    Can’t believe I waited so long to play UA2 when I absolutely loved playing UA1 on PSP. The screen might be a little chaotic at times and each hero only has 4 moves BUT I think given the number of heroes in the game, it makes sense to limit the number of moves per hero. I am only 30 min into the game, but so far so good!

  • Awesome Game

    Me and my kids got hooked on the storyline. It is almost like playing in a movie to them. We have enjoyed the game very much. Graphics are outstanding. It has some cussing in there but not to bad. But all in all a fun game to play.

  • Cool little game for comic fans

    This is a pretty fun little game to play. I bought this because I already had part 1 and need something new that my sons and I can play together. They're too young for the sports and more graphic games, but this is right up they're ally. The game has lots of characters to choose from and the game play is pretty good as well. I know it for an older system, but my kids nor myself really care. We all game a little bit and I like playing this game with them.
