I can't link it for some reason but it got a decent score of 7.5.

I'm picking up the first game for cheap since I didn't get it yet instead and waiting for this to drop price.

From what I read in the review, basically it seems that the same things that were little issues in the first game are still sort of little issues in the second and there's some drop off because they took away items (which were useful but I didn't even really notice them anyway) and that seems like it. If it plays like the first (which from the review it seems to, I mean Invisible Woman was horrible to play in that one too) then I'll have a blast with it and play through several times.

Yeah I think so too especially when him and Brian Eckberg were playing it for the fans they seemed to be having fun. I loved the first one, I love the atmosphere of the game. If it ain't broke (which aside from some dumb glitches the first wasn't) then don't fix it. Anything major (the glitch where auto level comes on by itself) will be patched out and we'll all be happy.

If the 4 player coop is as fun as the first game, I'm cool. I really hope they fixed the lobby though.

Eh, glad you said that. I actually enjoyed the loot drop aspect of the game. Seems like the RPG elements might feel a little out of place now.

I think they have stripped down the RPG elements some but there will still be leveling and still be point allocation for skills. I wouldn't expect it to be a pure RPG game but then again that's not really what you expect from these. I don't know, I'm going as soon as I get out of work to pick up my copy.

Not too surprising. I think GS deducts 0.5 to 1.0 for a game that is too similar to its original. Of course, one big exception to that rule is Gears of War 2, which I felt deserved a 1.0+ point deduction but still managed to score AAA.

The first game is one of my favorite games. I've beaten it about 10 times and that's not an exaggeration. I really want to get MUA 2.

Eh, glad you said that. I actually enjoyed the loot drop aspect of the game. Seems like the RPG elements might feel a little out of place now.

The main RPG element they dropped was upgrading costume specific skills/attributes, in turn making the "upgrade" a team bonus rather than individual. In my opinion, I'm ok with this. I sort of got annoyed switching between uniforms and trying to upgrade all of them to the max. It seems the way it's been implemented now means less micro management.

As soon as I get my 360 I'll pick this up the same day. I'm stuck between getting this or batman first. Man...we've had a few really enjoyable super hero games this year...I loved Wolverine, and now with Batman and UA2...this is SWEET!
