So i picked up the new Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 game yesterday and spent about 7 hours or so playing it last night. So far, i am enjoying it. I did, however, have a fool hearty expectation that the programmers and developers would come up with all unique combinations of fusion powers (276 if i did my math correctly). Sad to say, this was not the case. Granted, everybody does whip out a combined super power with everybody else in the roster, but a lot of the sequences were certainly recycled. So far, i've gone back to my roots and have been spamming the hell out of Storm and Iceman because they were both invaluable assets in X-Men Legends. I was happy to see that they powered them back up from the last MUA...especially Storm. They really made her pretty much useless in that game. I haven't had a chance to try out any of the new characters yet since i'm still early in the game, so my subsequent team has consisted of Human Torch and Deadpool/Captain America. I do miss my ultimate team from the first game. They took out Moon Knight (bad ass), Dr. Strange (potential bad ass) and Nightcrawler (bad ass). Regardless, i am still enjoying it.

So, if anybody else has picked it up and would like to play some co-op online then shoot me a message.
