You and your team of Marvel super heroes help Nick Fury launch a secret preemptive strike against Latveria and Lucia Von Bardas only to have to thwart her retaliatory attack on New York City. Coupled with other super hero incidents, public sentiment turns against super heroes. The Superhuman Registration Act becomes law and super heroes must register as weapons of mass destruction, and become licensed government agents with the United States government.

Gameplay As with the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the new version of the game is an action RPG in which players create their own fighting team made up of four super heroes/villains. The makeup of teams can be changed as the player chooses, and characters can be leveled up as they gain experience and the game progresses. In addition, the separate powers of super heroes can be combined, or "fused," resulting in unique abilities that are devastating in combat. The game contains over 250 of these fused powers that only await the right combination in battle to be released.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yuck..., November 30, 2009

This review is from: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (Video Game)

Okay, to be blunt, everything about this game makes me sick. Let me start at the game description. It promises 24 players, including Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch. However, the DS game offers only 15 heroes, and the Human Torch and Mr. Fantastic are not playable.

Also, unlike the original Ultimate Alliance, this version only offers four super powers for each character. In the original, you had a whole arsenal of super powers that were actually pretty cool. In this game: you stick with what you got. The ability to change your uniform at will is excluded, too.

Another problem, the biggy, the main reason I bought the game: fusions. The description made it sound so glorious: fantastic combinations; a fiery tornado; over 250 unique combos! In fact, the "fusions" are just each character performing their regular special moves with no hint of combination. Yes: Wolverine will still run around in a circle waving his claws no matter who he is teamed up with. And yes: Thor does the exact same special move when teamed with Storm as he does with Hulk.

So, pretty much the only positive thing out of that mess of a game was that there wasn't any annoying loading screen every time you enter a new room. Still, I would take the loading screen if they actually put some effort into making this game likable.

The game itself is not bad, its just very poorly made. It has major glitches in it, one being using the unity attack and the bottom screen goes mosaic. The only good part about this game is the storyline, which is the same as the Wii.

Its fun, i am still just getting into the game play. I played X-Men Legends II extensively and this is very much based on the same structure, from team play/rotation, speacial moves and powers and the tag team super moves. Because it is played in a 3D environment and you don't use a thumb joystick to move, the staircase movement can be frustrating while attempting to manuever a narrow path. The characters also havea tendency to stack up on each other preventing movement.

Over all a good time, a great marvel adventure that is fun to engage in.
