Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 swoops onto game consoles everywhere later this year. In it, characters from the pages of your favorite funny-books will band together in teams and
fuse power like never before. The latest trailer for
MUA2 shows off some of the special fusion techniques players can expect. Ignite a tornado formed by Storm as the Human Torch, deflect Iron Man's energy blasts as Wolverine; combine any ability to create devastating attacks in battle versus evil-doers.
So far, the game looks interesting. What doesn't look even
remotely interesting is Iron Man's character model. He looks like a hobo who uses the box he lives in as his suit to fight crime. Check out the
trailer after the break.

Other than Iron Man turning into a hobo made out of boxes due to the current state of the economy, this trailer has extremely pumped me up for MUA2
severian00 @ Feb 7th 2009 10:40PM
Was that the Wii version that you were excited by because that trailer had some serious issues with jaggies. I loved the first one but I tell you what, that trailer made me less excited for it. The Wolverine cutscene earlier in the week has made me seriously think about that game though.

LOL ^
HAHA @ Wolverine when he puts his blades up like he's putting up the middle finger...
Game looks pretty slick...can't wait to play it despite never finishing the first.
Dr.Nerd @ Feb 6th 2009 9:42PM
Never finished the first? I finished it twice one for gameplay and the other for achievements.
Big D. @ Feb 6th 2009 11:27PM
No I had rented it and gotten about half way through and then I bought it just before I sold my xbox so again never finished, then when I got my second xbox about a year later It came with it in the combo with Forza and I had to restart it and only got about the same way through and got bored, recently sold that xbox as well. I'm just not into the Xbox, no matter how much I try to be. I may pick it up on PS3 if I find it cheap.

OMG! Is on Marvel's Civil War!!! Yummy...
Milestails02 @ Feb 6th 2009 8:22PM
I know Civil war was awsome this will be bought just because of that
ugg.tryptophan @ Feb 6th 2009 8:25PM
its should've been Civil War: The Game!
WINterfang @ Feb 6th 2009 8:19PM
Looks pretty cool.
J-Link @ Feb 6th 2009 8:22PM
Yay, Daredevil's in it!
Foetoid @ Feb 6th 2009 10:57PM
Lets hope he can make up for the 'Worst Ever Movie' starring Ben Affleck.
XenMaster4 @ Feb 7th 2009 4:29AM
Daredevil the worst movie ever made?
Have you seen Ultraviolet? Elektra? Catwoman?
sparkster @ Feb 7th 2009 11:31AM
you're forgetting ghost rider, x-men (can only talk about the first one, didn't bother for 2 and 3 afterwards)... I personally didn't care for spiderman either, but everyone else seemed to like it so it's probably just me. Game looks cool though :D
BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Feb 6th 2009 8:25PM
Lookin' kinda grey there, Cap....
Deadpool @ Feb 6th 2009 8:38PM
Well, technically Cap's dead, so I would imagine him being greyish by now.
Sunny @ Feb 6th 2009 9:53PM
He didn't die until the end of Civil War though so technically he's not dead.
Deadpool @ Feb 7th 2009 1:09AM
Oh, crap you're right. It's good to see Capn' makin' it happen again.
But where am I in this? COME ON! I'm Deadpool everyones favorite! I was in the freakin' first game! What the %^#$?! I'm gonna %#@%$#^%#@^%@&^&^%$#%@%^%^)#$^%&$#@$($@!%$^%^$)%%)^*%()^@$(%)($#!)^(#$^**%(%$#@$%^%$#$#$%^^%#$#*($#%*(%!$()%#)%$^$*(^$!)%($^*$($(%)$^*)$*^ WITH THE HULKS THUMB IF I'M NOT IN THIS GAME!
[goes on a Bale F bomb tiraid for 30 minutes]
BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Feb 7th 2009 1:13AM
Wait... Deadpool was in the first one?
Now I actually have a reason to play the copy that came with my 360...
Anyways... My original post was kind of a reference to how "everything" in the "HD era" is brown and grey... Where's Cap's blue?! He's supposed to represent America, right? Well, America's colors are red, white, and blue... not brown, white, and grey...
ice~ @ Feb 6th 2009 8:31PM
Stare at Luke Cage in that picture for about 10 minutes, creeeepyyyyy...
SoshiKitai @ Feb 6th 2009 8:53PM
Creepy that you spent an actual 10 minutes of doing such a thing.
SoshiKitai @ Feb 6th 2009 8:51PM
Now the question is... what system am I getting this on?
...also: I never really see the use of putting Mr. Fantastic in these games. If he can't do half of the things he does in the comics and cartoons, why focus on him so much?
It'd be nice if he could slingshot enemies.
zuburi @ Feb 6th 2009 9:38PM
Don't worry. He will get his comeuppance.
phobic99 @ Feb 6th 2009 9:02PM
Looking forward to the dance off.
LuckyEMS @ Feb 6th 2009 9:04PM
so is it just Civil War? why not branch into WWH and then have some real boss battles :P
ZeroCorpse @ Feb 7th 2009 7:03PM
The Hulk is in the trailers, so I assume there would have to be some WWH stuff, since Hulk was off-world during the Civil War.
Of course, from what I understand the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance was in it's own dimension, and not the mainstream 616 or Ultimate universes, so this may be THAT universe's version of Civil War, without the Hulk having been shot into space.
`Should be interesting, either way.
Noshino @ Feb 6th 2009 9:05PM
Question, which version is the trailer from?
ryan @ Feb 6th 2009 9:26PM
Most likely a compilation of whatevers on the PC they're developing both versions on.
I think it's pretty safe to say that it doesn't really matter what version was shown. It's all going to be superheroes bathing in awesomeness and HDR lighting.
OLDMIKE @ Feb 6th 2009 9:15PM
am i the only one not wowed with it? looks just like the 1st to me
also i hated Civil war on so many levels
went from reading 9 or so marvel books to 2 or 3 tops
scotttopic @ Feb 6th 2009 10:02PM
viva steve rogers
LuckyEMS @ Feb 6th 2009 9:28PM
can i be penance?
Someone @ Feb 6th 2009 11:59PM
Really? People want to play as Bleedball? Next people will be asking for clone Thor, Skrull Jarvis or Maria Hill. If they want to make *me* happy, give me Sakaarson/Worldbreaker Hulk with the power boost.
Dr.Nerd @ Feb 6th 2009 9:44PM
The characters look kinda weird but looking forward to the games!
Sunny @ Feb 6th 2009 9:54PM
Looks cool and all, but I wish they would just call it "Civil War" instead of something stupid like "Fusion".
The1stMJC @ Feb 6th 2009 10:35PM
Hell yea loved the first one
Eternityx @ Feb 6th 2009 11:43PM
Not that this is related but I just got a free High Voltage Software Teeshirt in the mail today :P
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Feb 6th 2009 11:47PM
hahahaha Cable!!! lolz cable is teh weaksauce...
zuburi @ Feb 7th 2009 1:36AM
Seriously! That guy was a prime example of what was wrong with comics in the 90's.
KeenCommander @ Feb 6th 2009 11:56PM
Looks good, but I wish the backgrounds were half as detailed as the (sweet) character models.
Darryl G. @ Feb 7th 2009 12:42AM
That's the best looking PS1 game i have seen in a long time. Great gameplay, graphics, cast of heroes.......(what..this is.....next gen graphics?!). Waaaahat! Well tell me,who was the 'orange transformer guy' who was he supposed to be? What's up with everyone's waist?
mgsrocks1 @ Feb 7th 2009 1:07AM
What's with their eyes? They look like psychos ready to pounce the moment you say, "I like DC Comics."
Sisyphus @ Feb 7th 2009 7:00AM
I loved the first one on the Wii. Hopefully, the second one is at least as fun.
Mognet T @ Feb 7th 2009 9:50AM
Hulk, what are you doing?
:/
Go be in outer space were you belong.
BUBBAMEISTER33 @ Feb 7th 2009 1:29PM
I was thinking the same thing.
mikecjenkins @ Feb 7th 2009 12:14PM
Looks even worse visually than the first one.
MARQUIS @ Feb 7th 2009 1:23PM
I was thinking the same thing.
ultimatepryceman @ Feb 7th 2009 2:41PM
Can't be any worse than X-Men Legends. God, how poor were those visuals?
Graeme @ Feb 7th 2009 12:37PM
This game looks great. though like the other similar game will there be online play does anyone know
mgsrocks1 @ Feb 7th 2009 2:31PM
The first game had 4 player online co-op so I'm pretty sure this sequel will be the same.
Sean Aaron @ Feb 7th 2009 3:46PM
I hate that overmuscled Luke Cage model, but I like the fact that they've decided to to Silver Age hero modeling for the cutscenes (except Iron Man -- why winghead Thor and not the classic red and gold suit for Iron Man?) this time.
If Dr. Strange is in it I'll be ecstatic, but Luke Cage is enough to get me a sale. Despite some uneven control I really liked the first one on the Wii -- I'm playing through it for the sixth time now with Luke Cage leading my Defenders team.
Rhamsey @ Feb 7th 2009 4:13PM
wait, so is this civil war, cause iron man was such a tool, and i dont want that version of him back.
