The Largest Army of Super Heroes is Back! The highly anticipated sequel to 2006’s Marvel:Ultimate Alliance—heralded as the best Marvel Super Hero game of all time, and selling more than 4 million units worldwide—is finally here with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Inspired by the acclaimed Marvel Civil War storyline, this action-RPG delivers once again on a colossal cast of characters, thrilling gameplay and impassioned alliances. This next-gen gaming experience leaves the fate of the Marvel Universe—and humankind—in your hands.
Activision has confirmed that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is currently being prepped for release on PS3, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.
There’s also a treat waiting for hardcore Marvel fans who get the game: a cameo from legendary comic book creator Stan Lee. Lee apparently lent his voice and likeness to an unrevealed yet significant character in the game.
“I am thrilled to be making my first onscreen videogame cameo in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2,” said Lee. “It’s such a kick to see characters that I’ve helped create come to life in the game and now I’m a part of the Marvel videogame universe!”
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2’s plot? The Marvel Universe is being torn apart. The Superhuman Registration Act becomes law and Super Heroes must register as weapons of mass destruction, becoming licensed government agents. As Civil War is stirred, Iron Man leads the Pro-Registration side while Captain America spearheads the stand on Anti-Registration. The enemies you battle and the missions you accomplish depend on which side you choose.
