GameCritics writes: "As a big fan of both games and comics, it seems as though a merging of the two would automatically score big points with me-and that's not too far from the truth. Favoring Marvel more than DC, the first Ultimate Alliance was a direct hit in my eyes thanks to solid multiplayer and a huge cast of recognizable characters from the house that Stan Lee built. It had its flaws to be sure, but it was one of the first superhero games that I felt really nailed the source material. Three years have gone by since that game and Raven Software's substitute developer Vicarious Visions has delivered a direct sequel that still manages to be enjoyable in a mindless way, although it does nothing to eclipse its predecessor."
