Ultimate Alliance 2

[VQ35 Star]

Anyone else get this yet?
I'm liking it a lot.
You have a team of 4 super heros (my team is iron man, iceman, the thing, and spider man) and you go around and beat up enemies, there's a story too lol. You get 4 power hits and each character is unique. And there is also a fusion attack where you use a power attack with another hero. Shits pretty insane I give it a 9/10.
Oh and your heros get to level up and u can upgrade and shit too.
Online co-op is the best. Only thing I do not like is that you can't bring in your own character that is leveled up and shit that you worked on, unless you host.

I would, but I got 2 great comes coming out in november/september that I'm gonna get. Fifa10 and MW2=120+ bucks.

I played the hell out of the first one, haven't bought this one yet.

Seems promising.

Hmm, I got the first one in a package deal with my 360, and I've played it maybe twice. The only way I would recommend getting this game was if the are a hardcore Marvel fan.

Maybe I need to give it another chance? Just seemed extremely weak to me.

Deke, the 1st one blowed. They have redeemed themselves with the 2nd one. I dont know i'm not a hardcore marvel fan but i can get into the groove.

^Gotcha. Well I guess I'll have to give it a chance sometime.

I played it thru the first time on Anti-Registration. I am going to go back in and blow it out on Pro-registration with the difficulty maxed out.
Pros
- simpler powers (only 4 for each person, not 663 or whatever)
- easy to upgrade powers or just ignore the system ( I did this and had fun)
- art work looks realistic
- story is more interactive and allows more user control. Not just the same thing
- Fusion (combo powers) are fairly easy to execute
- change team at virtually any moment after the beginning
- some of the battles make you think; not entirely just button mashing

Cons
- some may not like the character design/artwork
- I played through the game all the way and there are still unselectable characters (grrr)
- seemed to be a lot shorter (Maybe I just had too much time on my hands, but I beat it in about a week of moderate play. The other game seemed to last considerably longer)
- Some of the character selections are not the best. They could have kept Green Goblin, Songbird, that creepy Penance/Speedball/Soul Calibur rip off Voldo, and a few other people.
- even though I admit to exploiting it, some characters are fairly overpowered. Storm, for example, is immune to so many types of dmg being tossed around and resistant to many others. If you just hover around, and don't enter melee, you can toss lightning down and dominate. I suppose balance was more thematic and in-line with the comic book, but that left a lot of characters on the weak side.

My teams basically consisted of: Storm (see above), Deadpool (great dmg, Healing factor, teleport), Wolverine (see Deadpool+ strength), and either Luke Cage (cool voice over, taunt and God Mode power) or Juggernaut (cheapest stampede power action in the game. Pretty much was unstoppable when he was stampeding).

I might try online mode for kicks, but overall I enjoyed soloing it.

i enjoyed the first 1 and this one is way better 2 me, Online co-op is pretty fun

[sprix!]

I cleared the game on normal settings first, and I was doing some online co-op the other day with another player on the Legendary setting, or whatever the special unlockable setting is called. It was challenging, and we kept getting smashed... haha.

[1CleanEg]

yea im going thru it on Lengendary now, its slightly more challenging but havent had any real problems yet. im always down to play online
