Pre-order Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, get the Juggernaut
by Richard Mitchell 
{ Jul 20th 2009 at 10:15PM } 
In revealing the latest Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 character, Activision has also revealed its pre-order bonus. As part of an ever growing trend, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will award pre-ordering players with exclusive in-game content. In this case, it's the Juggernaut (obligatory NSFW YouTube link), and he's only available to those that pre-order the game from GameStop. He's also only available on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, according to GameStop's website, so Wii and PS2 owners will never know his sweet, crushing embrace.
If you'd like a closer look at his glory, you can check out yet another 3D screenshot of the game -- from the future, we presume -- after the break.

the marvel ultimate universe has totally deflated. just look at Ultimates 3 and ultimate xmen:(
but this game however looks cool..
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 20th 2009 10:42PM
I don't know why marvel has decided to ruin it (ultimates) Jeph Loeb has ruined the Ultimates and ultimate x men has had bad writing that has convoluted continuity. Spiderman is still good and ultimate 4 was strong until they started musical chairs with that books writers. Only Bendis, Millar, Ellis, and Orson Scott Card should be allowed to write those books.
Jonathan @ Jul 20th 2009 11:01PM
Seriously, I'm beginning to think that Marvel WANTS people to abandon the Ultimate line. Jeph Loeb single-handedly ruined The Ultimates 3, and now he's ruining the entire Ultimate Universe with Ultimatum. (Ultimate X-Men went downhill as soon as Robert Kirkman started writing it, and now, thanks to Jeph Loeb, most of the X-Men are dead.) I can only hope that Mark Millar can return the Ultimate line to its former glory with Ultimate Comics Avengers.

has anyone notice there's a whole lot of incest in the ultimate universe?
ryan_white619 @ Jul 20th 2009 10:29PM
I think it's more about being the ultimate game and not about the ultimate universe.
If it was about the Ultimate universe, you could count me out.
xgarryx @ Jul 20th 2009 10:41PM
amen

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 21st 2009 1:56AM
also Civil War didnt occur in the ultimate universe, and this game is all based around Civil War
whylekat @ Jul 21st 2009 2:03AM
I don't think this or the 1st game have anything to do with the Ultimate comic universe.
Bubbameister33 @ Jul 20th 2009 10:38PM
I'll wait for the Hero/Villian pack like they did with the first. Fuck you, Asstivision and interest free loans!
Blank-Mage @ Jul 20th 2009 10:39PM
...Bitch.
Old_Snake @ Jul 20th 2009 10:39PM
I'll probably just rent this game. If I were buying though, I'd definitely be up for that bonus

D0RC @ Jul 20th 2009 10:44PM
That's pretty dumb, hopefully the Juggernaut will be an unlockable character too.
Tim @ Jul 20th 2009 10:51PM
Lesson learned: gamers would rather unlock in-game bonuses the old fashioned way; we gamers prefer CD's, figurines, art cells, posters (anything but in-game bonuses) for pre-order bonuses.
Rein @ Jul 20th 2009 11:05PM
The lack of Moon Knight in this game is truly troubling. :(
PedoJokerBear (aka Deeznuts) @ Jul 20th 2009 11:07PM
and here we have cain marko in his steampunk ensemble, which can be yours with 3 payments of 99.99
Kokomadeta @ Jul 20th 2009 11:07PM
I'm not paying $60 at launch just to get a downloadable character. If any game company wants me to pay full price, they're going to have to pony up some awesome pre-order bonuses. Give me a soundtrack or a sweet comic book miniseries or something. Otherwise, I'll just wait for the discounted game and not worry one bit about having Juggernaut in it.
ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jul 20th 2009 11:16PM
This.
There is no level of Juggernaut bitchery that is worth a pre-order.
Unless I get voice samples from the clip.
HitNRun @ Jul 20th 2009 11:17PM
Then there's people like me, who would be happy to pay $60 on day one...just not at Gamestop.
Sorry Activision, my conscience wins out over my desire to yell 2005 catchphrases at my TV screen.
whylekat @ Jul 21st 2009 2:08AM
Majority of the pre-order bonus' end up as DLC anyway. Unless you're a die hard fan, barely any pre-order bonus alone is worth buying a $60 title. If your decision is being swayed by an in-game character or a new skin, you obviously need to think harder about whether you want this game or should save your money.
saad77 @ Jul 20th 2009 11:33PM
I wasn't interested in this game at all, but it would be a first day buy if they included the juggernaut voiced by the guy in the vid. comb your beard, i don't wanna hear that shit....
when i first saw this post i thought the pre order goodie was a juggernaut statue or at least an action figure, now that i know it's just a stupid character in game i'm disappointed. Will probably buy the game when it hits $20.
carg0 @ Jul 20th 2009 11:32PM
im expected to pay $60 for what essentially is going to be an incomplete game unless i "play ball" and pre-order from wherever you tell me to?
i got a better idea, Activision, how 'bout you go f*ck yourself and I'LL decide when & where i purchase my games? in fact, i might not even purchase this game anymore.
how's that grab ya?
whylekat @ Jul 21st 2009 2:10AM
I doubt they'll miss your measely $60.
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jul 21st 2009 11:29AM
Make that $120.
WINterfang @ Jul 20th 2009 11:50PM
Can we have Batman in this one? I don't care this is Marvel, I want Batman >_>.
The Dark Wayne @ Jul 21st 2009 1:56AM
im right here all you need baby
whylekat @ Jul 21st 2009 2:14AM
No offense Wayne but someone seriously under-performed with Justice League: Heroes. Geez what a *yawn* fest =P
relaxeder @ Jul 21st 2009 12:02AM
Silly bitch!
Gerik @ Jul 21st 2009 12:12AM
Shouldn't Juggernaut be in the game ordinarily? This seems to me to be more of a threat than a bonus. "Hey kids! If you don't preorder the game, you're going to get a shitty, stripped-down version that's missing playable characters!"
and on top of that, to make it GameStop exclusive? I don't think they could have done much more to guarantee that I'm not going to buy their game.
SuperA187 @ Jul 21st 2009 1:02AM
If you pre-order from Game Crazy, you will get a code to unlock thor.

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 21st 2009 1:57AM
what the fuck? How can thor not be in the game? Well, i guess he was absent during Civil War. But still he's fucking thor!
whylekat @ Jul 21st 2009 2:17AM
He was obviously too busy filming his new feature film..
soatari @ Jul 21st 2009 2:59AM
It's a shame I refuse to shop at Gamestop... also a shame that I never impulse buy titles at launch anymore. No demo = no buy. Been burned too many times by new releases to ever buy a game I haven't tested out first.
lsutiger988 @ Jul 21st 2009 4:29AM
lol yet again the bashing continues.......all because of bad experiences......
xgarryx @ Jul 21st 2009 8:29AM
i do like jef loeb but i would have never put him on an ultimates book.
having said that, i think marvel sorta updated its ''regular world'' universe and helped
destroy the need for the ultimate stuff.
btw im NOT liking the way there bringing steve rogers back......
dc reset button anyone??
(sorry for bringing this waaaay off topic!!!!!)
xgarryx @ Jul 21st 2009 8:30AM
wow this was suppose to be a response to my post, how did it end up here?
thain @ Jul 21st 2009 9:11AM
The pre-order with juggernaut should come with a speakerphone mic for the xbox, and an in-game counter with voice recognition to keep up with how many times you say "Bitch". Maybe even let you program it to yell it to activate his ultimate power.
commonperson @ Jul 21st 2009 4:08PM
I'm getting really tired of this pattern. Activision is not the sole company to do this, I mean give aways like early beta access or head starts or naming reservations on MMORPGs is fine but for minor OCD freaks like my self or even fans this gets kinda frustrating. I don't think game changing elements should be "pre-order bonus" items and it certainly should not be vendor specific.
For example, I like Rock Band, I like The Beatles. I currently do not have the full instrument set (girlfriend bought me my plastic guitar on sale at HMV.) So, I think to my self, I'm going to get The Beatles instrument set. I go to the EB website because there are tracks ONLY available to EB preorders and I really want as much Beatles tunage as possible. Problem is they only deliver to the US, whilst I have family in the US last time I tried to deliver something to an address other then what was on my credit card they ended up canceling and not telling me (which started a legacy of doubled up purchases trying to get a silly box on Ebay.) So, I wander in to my local EB. Turns out they are completly sold out of preorders of the deluxe pack here in Canada. They HAD it but I was too late (see a week after they started taking preorders.) So, either I have to find some way to order this damn game in the US and ship it to Canada or I don't get the four tracks that only comes from EB preorders.
This is just upsetting in general, I mean in this case I don't care. Whopity doo, Juggernaut. Professor X's insecure overcompensating half brother can take a flying leap, it's just this "preorder or don't get it" or even worse "prorder from EB or don't get it" that's bugging the bejezus out of me.

I hit ya wit ya own PIMP
Angusailde @ Jul 21st 2009 12:14PM
As big of a Juggernaut fan I was pre-X-Men 3, I'm not stepping one foot in a Gamestop to get that game. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he becomes available later on somehow. And I bet the Thor unlock is just like the Silver Surfer, where he unlocks later in the game.
djbuhhda @ Jul 21st 2009 1:53PM
who is there so much hate for gamestop? i think they are quite fine, but i dont buy to many games to be a good judge tho, and to pertain to this topic, i really liked the first one but never finished it does this continue the story or is civil war just a whole heap of different?
rikthagreat @ Aug 9th 2009 2:43PM
i played x-men legends II religiously i didnt care much for marvel ultimate alliance maybe cause it was a stripped down version of the past games and i bought all the games in this series (x-men legends I & II, MUA) but the only thing im looking forward to is the juggernaut bitch hence my pre-order
