More of the same. That's my summary for those of you with short attention spans. If more of the same is what you're looking for in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, then you won't be disappointed. For the rest of you, you can still have fun with the formula, if you have the right group of people.
Ostensibly Ultimate Alliance 2 concerns the huge Civil War that strikes the Super Hero community when Nick's Fury's vigilantism encourages America to pass the Registration Act, requiring crime fighters to reveal their identities and work for the government. While possibly one of Marvel's greatest storylines, it loses a lot in translation. The game plays like a "best moments of" recap of the Civil War, never going into much detail about what's going on or the emotional turmoil that the characters are thrown into by the Registration Act.
Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
From PSU: "Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on PS4 has returned to some PlayStation Store fronts after being delisted in 2018. Get the latest right here."
They should have added Alliance 1 with 2 and Xmen Legends still great games that I own and play.
Only for Europe at this time. 🙁 They were initially delisted the day before I went to buy them.
Grab it while you can asap. Fun game and it should already be backwards compatible on ps5. I already have the digital 2 pack of both original Marvel ultimate alliance games on xbox one. I purchased them on sale just before they got delisted
This month, nearly a decade to the month after the release of its predecessor, Nintendo released Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, a return to the beloved ARPG Marvel gaming series that takes comic book crossover mania to a team-based beat ‘em up conclusion. But it also serves as a reminder that...god, things were so different back when Ultimate Alliance 2 was coming out, weren’t they?
Yeah. Just wait until the next big storyline is revealed in the MCU. Then all the crossovers will be about that.
But the Infinity Gauntlet is one of Marvel's most famous and popular stories. Even the fighting game Marvel Super Heroes was about it back in the 90's, long before the MCU was even an idea.
I agree it's time to move on. But with the MCU becoming far more popular and reaching way more people than the comics ever did, sadly we are living in a world where the movies will dictate most other forms of media, not the comics. At least, that is, until the MCU eventually runs out of gas. Which it eventually will just like all movie trends. But it could take quite a while for that to happen.
