Description:

The Largest Army of Super Heroes is Back! The highly anticipated sequel to 2006’s Marvel:Ultimate Alliance—heralded as the best Marvel Super Hero game of all time, and selling more than 4 million units worldwide—is finally here with Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. Inspired by the acclaimed Marvel Civil War storyline, this action-RPG delivers once again on a colossal cast of characters, thrilling gameplay and impassioned alliances. This next-gen gaming experience leaves the fate of the Marvel Universe—and humankind—in your hands. Lines are drawn. Sides are chosen. And the ultimate question remains: Whose side are you on? Product Summary: The Marvel Universe is being torn apart. The Superhuman Registration Act becomes law and Super Heroes must register as weapons of mass destruction, becoming licensed government agents. As Civil War is stirred, Iron Man leads the Pro-Registration side while Captain America spearheads the stand on Anti-Registration. The enemies you battle and the missions you accomplish depend on which side you choose.

Features:

•

Demolish and interact with everything in your path. Pummel your enemies by launching crushed cars, lampposts, machinery and anything else you can pick up in your way.

•

Create and customize your ultimate team. Assemble your dream team from the Marvel Universe and select from over 24 playable characters, each with specialized powers.

•

Cooperate with your ultimate alliance. Take full advantage of the Marvel Universe by playing Cooperative Mode with up to four friends, both online and offline.

•

Pick a side in the ultimate ideological rift that could yield irreparable consequences for the Super Hero community! Support the pro-registration side and defend national security, or choose to be anti-registration and fight for personal liberties.

•

Combine Super Hero powers for devastating results. Team up with Human Torch and Thor to create a spectacular fiery tornado. Over 250 unique fusions arm you with an unimaginable arsenal for unprecedented battles.

WARNING - Activision has Canceled DLC Support for this Game (Please Read)Jan 30, 2010
By J. Marvel
What new buyers may not know is that Activision has removed and canceled their DLC support as well as terminated (allegedly are moving) their online servers for this game.

No. 1 the DLC. Activision released this statment:

"The Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Downloadable Content was a limited time offer, expiring on December 31, 2009."

What this means is that their DLC packs featuring Juggernaut, Psylocke, Magneto, Carnage, Black Panther, and Cable are no longer available.

What's worse is that people who have downloaded these characters before will not be able to join you online because you would need a patch downloaded by Activision to join their missions, however Activision has also removed that patch which they do not host anymore.

So whoever buys the game now, cannot only download the extra characters mentioned above, they cannot also play alongside players who already own them.

To add insult to injury, Activision added Xbox 360 Achievements and PS3 Trophy Support for the 6 characters above, but since you won't be able to download those characters, you will be stuck at 1000 out of a possible 1250 achievement fulfillment.

However, Activision's statement above was also a lie. The DLC mentioned above was released in November of 2009. Activision released this statement on January 6th, a whole week AFTER the service had already been canceled. Meaning, there was no consumer warning about this at all for their loyal fans. Also, the content was removed at least a week before the 12-31-2009 date they stated. I checked on 12-26-2009 after I had received some points for Christmas the day before, and it was no longer there. Some people on Activision's message boards have said that it wasn't already available even before Christmas.

The online servers are currently down but said to be temporary as they are trying to move it to another server. With what's been going on right now, I wouldn't be surprised if Activision just continues to axe its fans, and this too was just later canceled.

Activision has dropped the ball on this game big time. Just Google this mess, and you will see for yourself.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Hulk MASH buttonsSep 30, 2009
By 100xp
Pros:
- button mashing as well as well thoughout button combo mashing is just as effective (easy to pick up and put down)
- you feel compelled to play it twice to experience the entire storyline from both sides as well as unlock all the alternate costumes
- 23 playerable characters + more I'm sure on the way through downloable content
- if you're a fan of the Civil War Marvel storyline, you'll love this
- great fun with 4 players
- graphically a great improvement from it's previous incarnation

Cons:
- sometimes the camera angle will be against you
- you must play it through twice to unlock every alternate costume (once anti-reg, and one pro-reg)
- there's only 23 playable characters, downloable content will probably cost some extra $
- If you're not a fan of the Marvel Universe, you may not enjoy this as much as the next button mashing game
- no bad in single player more, but unless you can team up with friends in multiplayer, it loses it's replayability after you beat the 1st time through
- If you're looking for an entirely new experience from it's previous incarnations or similar games, don't expect too much other than better graphics and a more well developed storyline.

Over all I enjoyed it a log, I was glued to my seat for about a week playing it. Going back to find hidden bonuses and power ups in the simulator mode which allows you to redo missions much like the xmen's danger room. The cast of characters certainly makes it a lot more fun, and team bonuses depending on which character combinations you pick reward you for having say all women on your team or all xmen etc.

It looks like the left plenty of room for downloadable content in the future, be that more playable characters, more alternate costumes, and/or additional mission packs. I'd recommend you play this with friends. Multiplayer games are always more rewarding when played together. If you're not a big Marvel comic book fan you may not get as much entertainment value out of this, but if you are and a True Believer, you'll certainly appreciate the all the game has to offer and maybe more.

No brainer for comic fans but still feels the sameSep 16, 2009
By H. Crosland "Dredded Panthyr"
I really wanted to love this game. After playing Batman, I really really wanted to love this game. But...after putting about 6 hrs worth of work, I like it. MUA II is pretty much the same game we have played since X Men Legends for PS2. That's not to say that it's a bad thing but after 6 years and four games, the formula hasn't changed all that much. So this time around for all of you Marvel-heads that have kept up, teh Civil War story line gets played out in this game and so far with very little deviation it plays pretty closely to the storyline and that is a big plus for this game so no worries there.

What I would really advise (and the game does this as well) is once you reach the point where you have to choose sides, save your game because for those of you who choose to go back and play as the opposing side of your choice would probably not want to go back and grind out from the beginning to reach that point.

For many of you that already know about the split and other minutiae of the game I won't bore you with what you all already know. But, how does it play? Well, if you played the other 3 then it's pretty much the same fare. Choose your teams and go for broke. Most of you already know about the cusomizations that you can do for your characters but what about the Fusions? it's really the only new thing that Activision added in this year and some are pretty cool and some are forgettable. So far, I have seen 3 different types of fusions and they work as follows:

Guided - means you guide your Fusion to the target(s)
Clear - A wide angle fusion which clears out an area of baddies
Targeted - a fusion that hits a target that you specify.

What I did notice is that while some are indeed unique, there are some that are the same no matter which combos you use. Example: Gambit fused with either Juggernaut, Luke Cage or the Thing give the same fusions. Beyond that however, at least you don't have to learn an impossible button combo to execute. Just make sure you are using the right ones for the job especially boss fights.

The boss fights are a bit more fun this time around as in some cases you have to really use your head instead of jumping straight in pounding away and getting beaten in the process. I would say out of the four bosses I have encounted (I chose Anti Reg BTW) von Bardas and Bishop's fights were satisfying.

One more upside is that the graphics have improved quite a bit BUT...camera angles still suck and it's quite easy to lose sight of where you are in a mob. This is something I was hoping addressed from the last version. One small item I did note was how they used the fonts from the comic which really added to the attactiveness to playing a game based on a comic story.

Another downside is that the voice acting is not great at all altho the lip synching has been fixed and some of the CGI cutscenes could have used a little more life to it. Not to mention there is one somewhat corny cameo by Stan Lee I think we could have done without. I am really waiting for the day they could take the CGI work from those scenes and use it IN the game...heh!
Also you would think that now games are doing full on voicework (like Mass Effect) with a lot of RPGs now, having simple boxes to pick from and no dialogue to accompany it is so last gen.

As far as sound effects, the game sounds really good and on a good surround system it's incredible especially when you have characters like Juggernaut stomping around on screen.

Also this time around, the alternate costumes are mostly gone and you only get (so far as I have seen) one for each character and they don't augment their ability like they did in the last game. I think this was a bad move and I hope Microsoft and Activision don't try to nickel and dime fans by making it a paid ietm via DLC.

There is a lot of replayability to be had because of course you have 2 sides to play and also a lot of unlockable content so fans of this game will have many hours of play before they find everything and then of course multiplayer is included (something I plan on trying over the weekend) and is pretty much lag free and also allows players to jump in and out of games with ease.

Lastly, the big question: Is it better than Batman? No for 2 reasons.
For one, most of us know the story of the Civil War whereas the Batman story was an original creation.
Secondly, MUA II is a mostly been there and done that whereas Batman altho taking cues from Bioshock is a somewhat fresh concept on how the Batman game should be made, so IMO, it's kind of hard to take a game with 4 iterations to date and rank it over a game that finally got the overhaul and new feel that it needed.

In the end, this is a no brainer for comic fans, Marvel fans specifically, but you may find yourselves really wanting more out of this and praying that if there is a Secret Invasion or Dark Reign game in the next few years, Activision simply won't rehash this game.

Ultimate Fun (with Microsoft/Marvel causing one serious problem)Feb 16, 2010
By S. H. Wells
This game is a total blast. I played through it once when I got it, purchased the downloadable extra characters, and played through it again on the hardest level. I had a blast. I have been an X-men fan for as long as I can remember, so I played the game mostly with characters from the X-men universe (Wolverine, Storm, and Magneto are very good additions to your ultimate alliance). So I can't speak for how well all the characters work in the game, but I can tell you there are A LOT of teams you can make and try out.

If you played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1, the general game play is the same: beat baddies, crack open crates, find hidden objects, level-up your characters. There is an added "Fusion" combo power that uses two of your team members' powers to make an awesome bad-guy smashing attack. Graphics have been upgraded from MUA1. Great story with two diverging story arcs to play.

I am not great at video games (generally speaking), and I hate jumping-at-precisely-timed-moments-to-avoid-bottomless-pits-only-to-fail-and-restart-the-whole-level genre, So I LOVED Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. I play to relax and have fun not for frustration-induced stroke. MUA2 is wonderful game that has challenges without headaches. I loved it so much that I bought my brother a copy for Christmas (2009).

Here is the big problem I have with Microsoft and Marvel about this game. I have the downloadable characters, my brother does not and CAN NOT: after January 1st (2010) the DLC was no longer available on Xbox live. So my brother and I can NEVER play this game together over xbox live because we do not have compatible versions of the game. Were I to delete the DLC from my xbox 360 (to mike mine compatible with his), I would not only NOT have the extra characters, but could NEVER GET THEM BACK because they have been removed from xbox live. So if you buy this game and your friends and family have had the game for a while, check with them to see if they have the downloadable content. If they do, you CANNOT play with them over live (you guys can of course share a console--the local multiplayer is fun too, but not possible if friends and family live far away)

Activision Hates YouJan 19, 2010
By Brad Cotter
Are you a Marvel fan? Did you like the first Ultimate Alliance? Then you would probably like this game, but don't buy it!

Activision had offered their DLC for this game for a whole 4 months, and then pulled it from both Xbox Live and PSN. So, if you wanted to play as Cable, Psylocke, Magneto, or Carnage, now you can't! Ever! Furthermore, the teaser packs for the game were pulled as well, so say goodbye to playing online with pals that already downloaded the content. Activision basically saw some of the mediocre reviews out there (see other reviews from Amazon customers...) and decided to kill this game. There will be no more DLC and the player base is severly divided. I actually was 'lucky' enough to get the DLC, but now I can't find anyone online to play with.

If you don't care about DLC, then this game is good fan service for the Marvel Universe, it has a competent story, and plenty of hero-on-hero melee madness. Consider buying the first game, which has more characters, unlockables, and has a bit more freedom in how your heroes powers are developed.
