Grab a few friends and get ready to have a great time with Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2! This game boasts one of the best same console co-op experiences you can have on the Xbox. You'll have loads of fun throughout the campaign working together to take down hordes of enemies and bosses.
There is a huge assortment of Marvel characters in the game, both good and evil. Some of my personal favorites include Deadpool, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, The Hulk, and many, many more. You'll have most at the start of the game while others are unlockable. Speaking of unlockables you can also unlock an assortment of costumes for the super heros which add spice to the game.
The gameplay is top down hack n' slash similar to RPG's such as Diablo and Baldur's Gate. You use a variety of melee and ranged attacks in addition to special attacks to take down foes. Combat is simple yet satisfying as you level up and unlock new abilities and increase their power. The only downside to the combat is that it can feel a bit 'button-mashy' at times, though most hack n' slash games tend to feel this way.
The story, which draws from Civil War and Secret War, is well done. Any fan of the Civil War series will enjoy playing the story and making decisions in the game.
In the end you're sure to be pleased, especially if you're playing with friends. Playing solo might still be enjoyable but I highly recommend playing alongside others.
