Session 1
Summery
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is an exciting super hero themed beat em up that borrows the best characters from Marvel comics universe of spandex-clad titans. The game takes places during the Marvel Comic event Civil War, where players must fight against different parties of heroes. I throughout the game, players can use a variety of ‘fusion abilities. With these combinations, characters like Spiderman and Captain America can use their unique abilities in concert to quickly dispatch foes.
Gameplay
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 makes heavy use of the right trigger for character abilities. By holding the right trigger and pressing the a,b,x, or y buttons attacks specific to your character can be used. For example, Spider-man can shoot webs at foes, Iron Man can blast enemies with plasma bolts, and Captain America and throw his shield across the battlefield.
The Fusion ability also changes up the gameplay quite some bit. By holding the left trigger players can combine their abilities with other characters on their team. The fusion attacks are broken up into three catagories: clearing, guided, and targeting. Clearing attacks unleash a unified strike attacks a large pool of enemies. Guided allows one player to guide two around the screen, running over all that cross their path. Targeting allows players to combine two power blasts and attack and enemy with one concentrated power beam.
The game allows for four players, hop-in hop-out gameplay. In this way players can play whenever it’s convenient for them without hampering with another’s game time. It can also be played online through Xbox Live or Playstation Network.
Session 2
Gameplay
The game is quite fun with a group of people to bash enemies with. On one level, we were fighting against a giant hero who was literally destroying the entire landscape. On this level, my team had to time their dodge moves to evade the vicious attacks of the enemy hero. I decided to save my character instead of fighting with the team and flew throughout most of the battle. I soon discovered by attempting to fight alone in the skies, my team was quickly dispatched. Only by working together and forming a fusion attack when the giant was stunned could we defeat him.
Design
This game was meant to be played with a group. My friends and I ordered pizza, guzzled soda, and fought through wave after wave of heroes and villains into the wee hours of the night together. The character fusions, the hip-in hop-out gameplay, and the expansive character list only fosters group play. Everyone picks their characters ahead of time and attempt to level up each character to make them more powerful. The game was design for this type of atmosphere, and without it, it is simply another superhero game.
