About Me
Some call me Volomon, some call me Elite Destroyer of Worlds, some call me Superman, and even still some call me for a midnight voracious ravaging ala ménage à trois.

Through all the naming of me Volomon, I yet stick to the modest identity as a PS3 fan.



Don't forget to play with girls or you'll turn queer, if your balls don't turn blue and explode first.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Needs a Polish
Volomon | 6:16 PM on 09.15.2009 10 comments


First off you want to know why and how I even know right? First off in my game Wolverine can fly. Well not fly persay but he can jump up in the air and not come down. Not once but all the time. I imagine I can easily beat the game this way, by floating in the air and regenerating. Only problem is the only way he will come down is if the CPU teleports him (when your lead gets to far away from your secondary characters).



This isn't the only issue either. Online seems to suffer from significant lack of polish as well. For instance people seem to drop randomly, the connection is very poor, I have 10megs down and 1.5up. Yet it lags unbelievably for what is a 4 person game. It shouldn't even studder at this amount of people. The gamma is bizarre as well, if you have the game go ahead and check it out. It's like they didn't even look at it. It tells you to lower the gamma until the first two boxes are black. Well if you attempt to play the game with this suggested gamma level prepare to run into walls, because the first couple of levels are underground or at night. Apparently there's some serious lack of light sources probably to save the graphical engine from dieing.

I don't know what the deal is Activision is a large company and these kinds of mistakes are typical of a large company due to forced production and time tables. However I couldn't imagine that they could screw up MUA2. The game is still fun, however I've only been playing roughly 1.5 hours and I'm running into so many issues though. Some are game breakers as far as multiplayer, the one bug I've ran into there prevents you from pressing any buttons. PS3 version only allows you to access the PSN menu (friends list). For whatever reason sometimes when you go to the menu someone on the teams will be unable to use their controller in this fashion. Of course they end up having to end the game. When it's the host it's even worse.

The graphics btw don't look anything like what is in any commercial or presentation for this game. I actually think it's worse than the orginal MUA. I'm guessing most demonstrations were the PC version. Alot of art is photoshoped as well for the box art.

I write this just to warn you if these kinds of things peeve you don't get the game until a patch comes out. Because right now I'm running into bugs and oversights left and right. I'll write something more detailed down the line but right now just be warned.

I'm actually really enjoying it. It's similar to the previous titles, but it's still a lot of fun.

That's a shame. I'll still get it!

@Naim
The original wasn't the greatest thing ever: it was a solid "7" isometric hack n' slash! I didn't expect any more out of this one.

Ya, I more or less expect a patch eventually, but with companies these days you just really never know.

Dear Scion of Mogo,

you could really be posting a review on the board since I see you playing it.

Well this sucks. I sort of enjoyed the first one. I enjoyed the x-men legends games a whole lot.

I really only enjoyed these games though because they sort of have that Diablo type formula. I would still be playing D2, but too much of anything is never good for you.

better than the firat. It certainly has some odd events, though.
I've had to reset a couple times already.
