Marvel Ultimae Alliance 2

ok who else is playing? my team right now is Hulk, Psylocke,Penance, Gambit.

I am.

Right now my team is Penance, Juggernaut, Deadpool and Thor.

I bought the first one today... meaning I wont be posting on this thread for quite a while. Maybe i'll check it out to see some strategy.

beat it on easy. now playing on normal with Green Goblin, Venom, Songbird, and Penance.

I hope the success of this game will lead to more games with storylines directly from the comics. I'd love to see an Iron Man Armor Wars game one day.

Already almost done with my second playthrough - this time on legendary.

My team most often consists of Wolverine, Thor, Deadpool, and Luke Cage.

I'm really pissed at Activision for dropping the ball when it comes to Juggs. I preordered but never got a code. Apparently they ran out. See, they had this thing on the game's official site, where if you never received your code, you could go to gamestop's site and put in your receipt number. The problem with this, however, was that this was all done through activision, not gamestop - so they had no way to know whether or not your number was legit. Word of this spread around, and a whole bunch of cocktards exploited it, with a lot of them getting multiple (like sometimes 4-5) codes. I guess activision/gamestop found out, because they took the page on gamestop's website down.

Hopefully activision realizes how bad they fucked up, and includes Juggs with the DLC.

Since this is for ps2. I will definitely buy it.

I hope they eventually adapt Infinity Gauntlet. That would be sweet.

It would be awesome to continually have DLC characters to choose from.

Ive been playing this game non stop (and since its 4player co-op im getting my girl into comics now) they finally gave us something we want in a comic game, I just hope they continue to do it in the future.

typical team: Gambit Daredevil Deadpool Captain America
backup team: wolverine gambit storm iceman

I just started playing!

My team: Deadpool, Spider-Man, Cap and Wolverine

i got it for my wii and i have a big problem; how do i switch out dead characters for new ones? i keep trying to replace the dead ones but the game won't let me

also, how do i unlock new guys?

i feel it kinda cheapened out by dropping the special conversations with some characters and not even have sounds with conversations in the main base!

well, after seeing some screen shots from the PS3 and XBox 360 versions, im pretty pissed off that the Wii version is so goddamn cheap looking! who'se the jackass who made the Wii version? a bunch of penny pinching jackasses?

The Wii has nowhere near the processing power of the 360 and PS3, Spider-Fan. That's just the way it is.

well, yeah, that's true but there are limits to what you can slice and dice to save money on, like having NO voiceovers for characters inside the bases! it's like my Incredible Hulk game i got awhile back that skipped the Nighttime levels! Sam Raimi had a low budget lil'slasher and it made a bunch of money! you can be cheap but still awesome, but these guys don't get it :x

So, in lieu of processing power, what would you suggest they do to make it awesome?

Maybe motion controls?

I don't think it's a matter of money at all. It's power. Despite being a current-gen system, the Wii is waaaaay low on the totem pole as to what it can and can't do and it's games are modeled more to the PS2 than anything because they're more closely tied in terms of capabilities. I've got a Wii and a PS3 and I'd say the only games you should get for the Wii are the ones that were specifically designed for it. Otherwise, you're getting a watered-down version of a better game.

Force Unleashed rocked on the PS2, it had levels you don't get with the PS3 and Xbox360

yeah, i'm gonna have to keep that in mind now. Maybe if i can get a memory card for the Xbox 360 my sister's lending me i should trade my MUA2 for the Xbox 360 copy. what are the diffrences for it by comparison?

So. Is this game better than the first one? I've heard mixed reviews on the second game so I wanted people's opinions.

I dont know if it's better, just different. It's a MUCH shorter gameplay, which is good and bad. The first game felt like it almost had too much stuff to do, but this one feels like there's not enough. Maybe the third game will find that balance.

And while it starts off modeling Civil War, that changes midway through into a new story made for the game. So it being about Civil War is slightly misleading.

But it's definitely fun to play, just not sure it was worth the price tag

I thought as much. I also don't like the fact that you only have one alternative costume. I'll wait til I can buy it used. I'm more excited to eventually get Skate 3.

I just bought the extra character pack, so far carnage is a favorite.

I bought the character pack last week and meh, lame. It doesn't really feel like anything new that could have already been on the game in the first place. I played for like 30 minutes and got bored. A DLC with no real no mission for an already short game, meh.

This game is a disappointment in reply value.

I laughed at Nick Fury's inclusion and wondered where my Nova was. On a good note, I love Thor in this game. The man is a fucking beast. He made my team look like rookie chumps. It was wonderful.
