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.
If you're not a fan of Marvel comics, there's really no point in putting this smash-up in your console. Graphically, if you liked Ultimate Alliance 1, you'll see the improvement here. There are a few issues with paths (you're restricted to the garden path during an attack on the White House???) and the collectibles really don't have a lot of oomph in the rewards department, but it's a fun diversion. I've played it through once, but I probably won't feel the need to ever play it again.
