Second verse, same as the first. The Ultimate Alliance series has become known as one of the most revered comic book games in history. Read more

Overall, though the single-player is short it has certainly been improved on since the first Bad Company and the online multiplayer is truly second to none. Have DICE reclaimed their FPS throne? It is hard to say for sure, but this is definitely their best game for some years. If you are looking for a new and different first person shooter to fulfil your war-mongering needs then Battlefield: Bad Company 2 should definitely be on your radar. Read more
- Sets new standards for online team-based shooters.
- Very short single player mode.

As a big fan of both games and comics, it seems as though a merging of the two would automatically score big points with me—and that's not too far from the truth. Favoring Marvel more than DC, the first Ultimate Alliance was a direct hit in my eyes thanks to solid multiplayer and a huge cast of recognizable characters from the house that Stan Lee built.

- Going multi with Luke Cage and Iron Fist, together again.
- Generally poor selection of heroes from Marvel's vast universe.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 completely misses the ball when compared to its predecessor. The KISS-method that gets applied here makes the game an experience you prefer to quickly forget. Not one new element is worth mentioning and the button mashing brings boredom instead of entertainment. In short: how a game with a perfect script - the beautiful comics - becomes a thorn in the eye. Only for people with extremely low expectations! Read more
- Good story..., Fun co-op..., Jobs for mentally challenged people
- ...but cliché ending in the game, ... but online lobbies ruin it

While it had a lot of promise going for it Ultimate Alliance 2 still manages to crash and burn. Read more
- Graphics are much improved from original; storyline for the first two acts rocks; large roster of Marvel characters.
- Less skills in the game; late game story is boring; combat is pretty boring; not actually two storylines like has been advertised.

If you go in not expecting to play the game of the year then you're going to get a hell of a lot of fun out of MUA2. Read more

How do you take a great franchise, that was arguably one of the best superhero games, and trash everything that it has done. I mean we are talking a game that was included in a … Read more

The Civil War storyline really is sort of goofy, isn’t it? Read more
- Solid controls; fusion powers are a neat idea; improved graphics; it’s still fun smacking guys around with superpowers
- The story is weak; the dialogue options forced and get in the way of the fighting; some of the set pieces are thematically silly; fusion powers a bit samey; some weak ...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a decent button masher with some RPG elements underneath. With more flexibility and RPG elements this game could have stood out from the original. Instead it feels like the same game with patched-in features. Read more

For the most part RPG fans and comic book readers are one in the same. Yet there is a small segment of comic book readers that have given up on gaming and some gamers have given up on comics. Read more
