IncGamers - Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Review [360]

Spanner Spencer is back, and he's got his super hero team ready to look at the latest iteration of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. So his thoughts:

"The sequel follows a very similar pattern, throwing together a small collective of characters from within the Marvel universe in an effort to capitalise on as many beloved licenses as possible. This time, however, the RPG elements are actually noticeable, and the storyline is as worthy as anything Marvel turned out during the 90s. Admittedly that's not great, but it still punches most contemporary game's storylines into custard."

Sounds interesting, but not enough to be worth a purchase just yet. Too much else out there.

Leord5313d ago

Then you fail at being a comic book fan :P

Gobot5313d ago

He never said he was a comic book fan... I'll be getting this when it's $14.99

Cogo5313d ago

I think some reviewers have a little bit too high hopes on story line in some cases. I think it seems brilliant.

OTOH, I love comic book heroes, so :P

Maticus5313d ago

Might actually give this one a go

Cogo5313d ago

What? Despite Fyzzu's words of warning? :)

Malfurion5313d ago

I've ordered this, can't wait to get my hands on it.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

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."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

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

Vits1038d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1038d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1038d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1038d ago (Edited 1038d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 PS4 Returns To Some PSN Storefronts After Delisting In 2018

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."

Majin-vegeta1209d ago

Glad I got these bedore they were delisted

1208d ago
Knightofelemia1209d ago

They should have added Alliance 1 with 2 and Xmen Legends still great games that I own and play.

neutralgamer19921208d ago

Physical media especially for these licensed games

autobotdan1208d ago

Unfortunately this game was never on a physical disc for ps4 or xbox one.

neutralgamer19921208d ago

Oh yeah I have these on ps3. Activision probably missed their chance but they just wanted the quick buck

Profchaos1208d ago

Anything with a license at all any open world game with real world music on the radio, sports titles, racing games, rythem games the list goes on.
It's only stuff like tlou or horizon where it's all end to end Sony IP that I have no concerns about buying digital

addictedtochaos1208d ago

Only for Europe at this time. 🙁 They were initially delisted the day before I went to buy them.

autobotdan1208d ago

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

Can Marvel Crossovers Ever Escape the Infinity Saga?

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.

AK911735d ago

It depends on who the next big bad will be in the MCU universe.
