One of the best childhood games. The costume designs are also very good. Cinematic level.

This game is really special, because it's one of the few video-game sequels to beat the original.
MUA2 is one of my favourite games of all time, the graphics are great, the story is the best thing about the game, it's boss battles are awesome and the characters are awesome. The fusion thing and the different outfits are awesome, the four powers each character can use. The soundtrack is one of the best in a video-game. MUA2 is better than MUA1 and it gets 10/10.

Fun game before the MCU took over the world. Nothing major about it. It is a cut, clear and straight to the point.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Better and Worst at the same time
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is of course the sequel to the original that this time tells the story of the hero civil war.
Youll get to a point early in the story where the government wants super humans to be registered and captain America is against this while iron man is for this..
This creates a rift within the superhero world and you have to make a choice, the choice you make will lock off certain heroes that choose the opposite side and throughout the stories journey youll take on other heroes and villains that have joined the opposing side…
I did find this story much more interesting and compelling than a simple bad guy trying to take over the world story we got in the original… but it ultimately felt kind of just there as did the rest of the game…
The graphics and combat are miles better than they were in the original.. this time the game feels more like a hack and slash co op game than a dungeon crawler…
Leveling up and collecting xp feels worthwhile this time as youll definitely notice a difference when you spend skill points and xp on moves and bonuses that every character earns simultaneously to allow swaps of the 30 possible different characters without worrying about their level or strength of moves…
Speaking of swaps you can do them at anytime rather than having to wait for a save point…
The special moves are also much more impactful to the gameplay this time around as I feel everyone will have their own favorite character based on boosts and attacks they have, so much so that my favorite character from the original fell to the wayside as characters felt more customizable and mine with the skill spending depth…
Theres also a new fusion system which is triggered by filling a bar from simple or special combat where 2 characters team up to do a super powerful move that can reward you with a health drop if you pull off its challenge which can really come in handy during close boss fights… But the better in this game unfortunately ends there…
This fusion move for starters has a horrible bug where 2 characters will run at eachother face to face completely wasting such a valuable moment…
And the stars seem like they fill fast until you find yourself actively trying to fill them… it can be a huge bummer to try and pull off a saving grace when your characters are about to die and its wasted because **** bug…
The depth the original had is also missing here…
There is just no charm, feeling more like a cash grab than a love letter…
There was so much for the fans in the first game, while here everything feels generic, from unlockables to level design…
Theres nothing special at all…
The story progression is just atrocious… and the boss battles lack variety completely where they all.. every last single one of them feels exactly the same…
In fact theyre really just regular enemies with ranged attacks and larger health bars…
There are no real wow moments here…
The original felt like a real standalone game, while ultimate alliance 2 felt like just an above average tie in game…
That’s not to say this game is bad…
It’s fun, but nowhere near worth your times as much as the first one was…
Ultimate alliance 2 is half the length, about 8 hours, but due to the lack of charms feels twice as long
I Give Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
a 7/10

Really nothing interesting here if you ask me. The gameplay is boring and stiff and got me tired very quickly, the environments look bland and there are few powers to use compared to the first game. This review is very short because i couldn't stomach myself to play even the second mission. In short there is nothing here to have a long interest in. There are way better super hero games out there.
