![]() ![]() After an hour of pounding enemies into the dirt (or blasting them, as it were), the same act of mashing buttons tends to get a bit long in the tooth. This is a fun beat-em-up, but a beat-em-up nonetheless. ![]() Truthfully, everything in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 gets a bit dull during a playthrough. It’s crap and adds to the dullness of the game. They don’t affect gameplay and seem to be put in just to offer a Mass Effect-style choice. When conversing with an NPC at Stark Tower, you can choose to answer them in one of three ways: Aggressively, Diplomatically, or Defensively. One addition that I can live without is the new way the game handles conversations. They’re cool to use but get dull after some time. And you can have Iron Man fire his blasters at Cap’s shield for a stronger blast. You can have Spider-Man, web up Wolverine, spin him around, and launch him at any enemies like a modified Fastball Special. ![]() There are also new Fusion Attacks which let you combine two heroes’ abilities for a stronger attack. So if you like playing as Captain America, you choose anti-registration and lose the ability to invite Iron Man and Mr. Making a choice limits the heroes you can add to your group. I liked that that game does the Civil War bit of making you choose to be either for or against registration. There are few changes past that, but some of them are interesting. It didn’t detract from the game, however. That’s a departure from the original game, whose story was largely original. The premise of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 takes elements from the Secret War and Civil War comic book storylines. SO I fired up my venerable PS3, popped in the disc, bitched for about ten minutes because the update wouldn’t apply, and then got to playing. ![]() Second reason, I refuse to buy remastered versions of last-gen games they ain’t gonna look so much better that I need to pay $60 for the privilege. Although Activision recently released remastered versions of both games as a bundle for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, I’m sticking to my original version for two reasons. If my PlayStation 3 dies while I go for completion in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2…well, maybe I won’t eat for a couple of days. Years later, I don’t have the same zeal – or the same amount of disposable income. That’s how committed I was to beating that game. Unwilling to wait umpteen weeks while Microsoft applied Scotch tape to my console’s innards, I simply bought another one. My original console fell victim to the dreaded Red Ring of Death and needed to be repaired. Back in 2006, I played the original Marvel: Ultimate Alliance on my Xbox 360 to death.
