MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE PC GRAPHICS SETTINGS REGISTRATION
Public opinion forces the government to impose the Superhuman Registration Act. You repel the attack, but not before hundreds of civilians are killed. It’s the Latverians gunning for revenge for Fury’s invasion. Job done.įlash forward a year and New York is under attack. The first level sees you razing the place to the ground and a boss fight with The Tinkerer. S.H.I.E.L.D chief Nick Fury is leading an unsanctioned invasion, hoping to deal a blow to the terrorist state once and for all. The game begins in Latveria, the fictional European country that Doctor Doom calls home. It’s a combination of two popular mega story arcs, the Civil War and the Secret War. The plot’s new, of course, but will be familiar to readers of Marvel comics. It’s still a linear dungeon crawl with awful dialogue and a pointless three-pronged conversation mechanic (Mass Effect this is not). And if it’s a new character, then that means new Fusion Power combinations.īeyond this, MUA fans won’t find much new in the way of gameplay. The game is cleverly designed so that you’re constantly progressing and bettering yourself, be it with the unlocking of new characters, power upgrades, new abilities, passive buffs or the basic pleasure of levelling up, you always feel as if something shiny and new is just around the corner. Well, a lot of them are kind of the same – most of The Thing’s Fusion Powers involve him tearing a lump out of the ground – and they’ll all get the job done, but finding out for yourself just what cool animations the developer has drummed up for your favourite partnerships is all part of the fun. Targeted, for example, is good for doing damage to a single enemy Clearing is great for spreading damage in a radius and Guided allows you to control the carnage.Įach Fusion Power is different. Once done, pressing the left trigger will display a face button above the head of each of your three team mates, as well as a one word indication of the kind of Fusion Power that combination will perform. You kill enemies, usually generic Latverian soldiers or robots, and fill up a gauge on the bottom right of the screen. In fact, what’s best about MUA2 is trying out all the Fusion Powers, the game’s headline new feature.
But still, the possibilities for combining superheroes, famous and obscure, feels just as endless, and just as silly, as they do in our fantasy team-up. The possibilities are as endless as they are silly.įor now, though, we’re going to have to make do with Marvel-only teams, in the fun four-player action RPG dungeon crawler Ultimate Alliance 2, the sequel to 2006’s original. How about The Hulk, Thor, Simba from Lion King and Ariel’s dad, King Triton, from The Little Mermaid? That would be a pretty useful team, wouldn’t it? Or how about The Fantastic Four and The Incredibles? Imagine the damage those nine would cause.
In the wake of Disney’s purchase of Marvel, we thought it would be fun to brainstorm some fantasy Disney/Marvel ultimate alliances.
