Marvel Ulimate Alliance 2



I'm shocked and awed that a sequel to a game that came out 2+ years ago, more if you count X-Men Legends games, could be such a disappointment.

Charlie and I are always on the look out for new Coop games(same box). So we decided it would be a good idea to go rent MUA:2 in order to grab up some achievements in tandem, rather than taking turns like we have for so many other games. This sort of worked. Charlie who is eternally player 2 to my player 1, was unable to save any progress he made in the game after we shut off the system initially. Which screwed him out of 100 or so achievements points in the end. We thought that it wouldn't be such a big deal cause we'd just run through it again and grab 'em up. But as we delved deeper into the pit that is MUA:2, we discovered that the length and mind numbingly boring game play and not to mention crappy character selection, made us not want to go back play it again. I even was feeling physically ill after one late night play through and needed to go sleep it off.

Fuck this game. It is so much worse than I expected having played all of the previous titles from this developer. Everything about this game is worse than the original, it even had more bugs. Charlie at one point was jumping and was stuck in the air like he was going up levels and couldn't come down, unless he switched characters and even then it still happened every time he jumped.

The character models look hideous. It's like someone intentionally found all the WORST artist renditions of each character and then model each character after them. Gambit and Hulk both look literally retarded.

The coup d'état is that I got less than 500GS for this piece of shit during my one and relatively thorough play-through. We even went back and grabbed a couple extra achievements from the first stage.

What a fail.
