Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Hola people,

Ive been searching the forums and can't find anything on this game, which I find a bit surprising as the first 1 is one of the best 360 games Ive played (maybe being biased due to being a big Marvel fan).

Anyways it's made even better that Deadpool has been confirmed (see links):

Plus a list of the characters so far:

They just need to confirm Ghost Rider and Venom again and i'll be a happy boy for this

roll on 25/09/2009 (apparently).

Enjoyed the first one on Wii so will probably pick this up

It looks fun!

Might have to try demo if theres going to be one.

The 1st one on 360 was one of my favourite games and still puts a

on my face today. I had completely forgot that there was a 2nd one in the pipeline and genuinely can't wait for the release. The game engine deffo looks like a nice improvement over the 1st which was more than adequate so this is really looking like it could be something special if it can be just half the game that the first one was.

**EDIT**

Just seen that the storyline will revolve around the civil war saga in the Marvel Universe - could prove to be very interesting altho would deffo recommend reading the civil war saga to get the most out of the game.

Loved the first one, a great game and I'm looking forward to the 2nd. Fancy playing through the first one again now.

Yeah I think reading Civil War may be needed for playing, but I think they'll summarise it all in some sort of cut scene before hand. Im sure ive seen a video showing Nitro exploding etc. within the game somewhere but I cant remember where?
Im hoping they include Ghost Rider anyways in the game because correct me if im wrong im sure he's stuck in hell while the Civil War is going on?

The first one was fun, but let down by very poor performance (on PS3). It's good to see some less well known characters on the (currently revealed) roster. It would be good to see more Thunderbolts added to that list

I will try to find it in a bargain bin, can't find it in stock anywhere just now.

I just been checking out the first game on Game Trailers, and it looks pretty good!

Surprised I missed this game, I must get!

Zeroecho99 · 21 May 2009 at 16:20

Loved the first one on 360 so will deffo have to see what this is gonna be like.

mojojoejo · 29 May 2009 at 11:34

So do you have to pre-order to get Juggernaught as a playable character?

Alty · 20 Jul 2009 at 22:12

bump - damn this game looks good

rp2000 · 20 Jul 2009 at 22:15

Loved the 1st on 360 and spent many many hours playing it.

Perfect mix of minimal RPG, loads of enemies and huge roster.

Even replayed the game on PS3 (but the performance was crappy) after completing it on 360.

Hope the PS3 version is closer to the 360 one this time.

looks like the rainforest is the only place offering this bonus character with pre-ordering....

Same crap we so so much this gen with 360 and PS3 stuff

The thing I hate is the exclusive codes and characters etc always seem to go to places that fail to deliver pre-orders on release date or charge premium delivery to get it on release day.

Anyone else get completely freaked out by Galactus (not in cloud form)? Or is it just me. Anyway loved the first game - played through most of it as the fantastic 4 (again probably just me).

Looking forward to this one.

Me and a few of my mates have been following this quietly for a while, my favourite Marvel character has always been Venom. Does anybody know if the Venom included in the game is Eddie Brock or Mac Gargan? Looks like Mac Gargan but need some clarification.

According to the website it Mac Gargen! Did Brock die at some stage? Or have I got that wrong?
