AggroGamer Review: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
AggroGamer: "The Civil War saga in the Marvel universe has been one of the best stories to grace comic books in quite some time. It’s a great story that is an allegorical commentary in the wake of 9/11 and The Patriot Act. In the storyline, a Superhuman, Nitro, goes nuclear in Stamford, Connecticut, killing hundreds during a reality TV show. A TV show that was like COPS but following the New Warriors. Once this happens, the US public demands that Superhumans answer for their actions and the Superhuman Registration Act is put in place forcing heroes to come out and show who they are. Sides are selected on this act and the Hero community is split between Iron Man and Captain America, with SHIELD and Iron Man rounding up those who didn’t sign as criminals.
Why is this important to know? Well this is the main story behind Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, with only a few variations and alterations to the story for game purposes. That translates to a very different means to the end of the story. I won’t ruin that for those of you that have not played to that point yet, but I will tell you about the non-spoiler parts of the game."
