Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2

About

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 lets you team up with over 50 Marvel heroes and villains in cooperative combat. You build parties of four characters each with distinct abilities and play styles then switch between them mid fight to tackle waves of enemies. The story follows the fallout from a superhero civil war with missions that send you from city streets to alien planets. Combat blends real time action with RPG elements letting you upgrade gear and unlock new powers for your characters. The game stands out for its deep roster including fan favorites like Iron Man Thor and Captain America alongside lesser seen heroes. It runs on multiple platforms from PS2 to PC making it one of the most accessible Marvel games ever. With a 78 on Metacritic it holds up better than many 2009 action titles though the repetitive mission design shows its age. The four player co op remains fun for groups who enjoy brawling through hordes of enemies together.
