- MUA fans may bemoan the lack of change, and they'd have a point. Bar the Fusion Powers there's little new going on here. But it's still a fun, albeit brainless romp that's sure to please Marvel fanboys. 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.
Wesley Yin-Poole · Sep 28, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - It's hard not to let the experience of the first MUA color the expectations for MUA2. By those standards, MUA2 isn't as exciting a game, largely due to the choices it makes with the fiction. On its own, though, this is still an enjoyable action RPG romp that makes good use of the Marvel Universe in its own way.
Ryan Davis · Sep 18, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, it just tightens a few of the lug nuts. This works wonderfully in its favor. Adding a new gameplay mechanic that you don't have to rely on in order to enjoy the same type of game you already experienced will make purists happy. Continuing the online functionality introduced with the first title doesn't harm the game either.
Matt Walker · Sep 15, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 adds in Fusion powers, characters, and a bunch of boosts, but in the end it's not enough to keep this from feeling like extremely well-worn territory. I don't have that spark to see and do everything because I feel like I've seen and done everything before. The Stark Tower hub is nearly identical, the cutscenes don't look good, the audio logs to find aren't interesting, and the presentation of the Civil War really doesn't do the emotional storyline justice.
GREG MILLER · Sep 15, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - So while Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 may not take the series in a big and bold new direction, or benefit from the kind of refinement you would look for in a sequel, it does deliver the button-mashing, power-flinging, over-the-top action fans of the original would expect. And it's just good fun, even if you don't know Iron Man from Iron Fist.
Kevin VanOrd · Sep 15, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - There’s nothing wrong with MUA2. It was made professionally, it’s addictive and fun (even more so in co-op), and it’s still a treat for comic fans. But it’s short on new ideas, with a fundamental template that hasn’t changed in the last five years. And in this brave, new, post-Arkham Asylum world, we need a little more than that to be really awed.
Henry Gilbert · Sep 15, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - The new elements fail to meet expectations, but the bash-and-grind basics haven't changed at all. With relatively few dungeon-crawl games available for consoles, that fact alone may make it more appealing to fans of the original but sadly the garbled story, half-baked gimmicks, creaky engine and rote gameplay all conspire to make it a satisfying experience only for those with extremely low expectations.
Dan Whitehead · Sep 28, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Pero claro, intenta explicarle a un mozo que no levanta dos palmos que los beat 'em up han perdido su encanto, que la verdadera diversión estaba en los títulos con apenas cinco sprites locos y media docena de fases. Te mandará a freír espárragos. Y con razón. Porque los títulos actuales son netamente superiores, a nivel técnico y jugable. Otra cosa es que tú no lo puedas (o no lo quieras) ver. Y objetivamente MUA2 es un juego más que correcto.
German Cuellar · Oct 18, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Marvel Ultimate Alliance es un videojuego notable, que se beneficia de forma importante de la importante cantidad de contenidos que incluye. Quizá echamos en falta algo más de variedad en el conjunto y una mayor innovación, pero por lo demás se trata de un machacabotones francamente divertido.
Álvaro Castellano · Sep 29, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Esperábamos algo más de evolución, sobre todo en términos técnicos, y las escasas novedades apenas tienen el protagonismo que deberían. Pese a todo, hay algo que no se puede negar, y es que el juego sigue siendo tan divertido, intenso y frenético como siempre. Un juego cargado de acción, en el que hasta cuatro usuarios pueden enfundarse en las mallas de los héroes más famosos del universo Marvel para acabar con infinidad de enemigos que les saldrán al paso. Tal vez no sea innovador, pero conoce bien su herencia genética y, lo que hace, lo hace bien.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
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.
