Let's just start of f by saying that I have been waiting a long time for this game, I'm sure most of you have and If you are like me, most of you were not sure what to expect. Sure the first was great, but it got boring, let's be honest. I will say that the developers herd the people and this game truly has delivered in a lot of areas that the last one fell short in. On with the review!
Graphics:
Ok, first thing off the bat you will notice that the graphics for MUA2 have been completely redone. The texturing on the levels looks fantastic and they have added a lot more environmental detail. More destructible objects as well as more small, funny things, that you will notice as you explore the levels. There are a few graphic glitches that I encountered throughout the course of the game. Some cut scenes don't look fully rendered, not sure if it's meant to be that way, but it looks like they forgot to add part of the character models. At times the camera can also be a bit of an annoyance, it forces itself in certain directions at times, making it hard to see enemies off screen or even hidden collectibles..."

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.
