Basically something they tried to fix that was not broke. Still Addictive and fun.
Cons:
They tried to fix something that was not broke. Also, the cutscenes, They downgraded on graphics, no longer cinematic cgi cutscenes, just useing the ingame rendered characters in cutscenes. Also during the civil war those were not good cutscenes, cheesy is what they were, reminded me of Mirror's Edge. They got rid of the special throws, and the personal extreme attacks. the character selection could have been better. The system character exclusives are always a bummer.
Example:
PLayable on Wii, PS2 and PSP: Blade, Cyclops and Psylocke.
Plyabale on DS: She Hulk and Sentry.
PLayable on Xbox360 and PS3: Iron Fist
The first game did somehting similar.
PC: Jean grey, War machine, Punisher
PSP: Hawkeye, Black Widow, Ronin[Echo version], and Captain Marvel, aside form a perquel storyline that includes Swordsman.
Wii: Colossus and Moon Knight
PS3 and Xbox360: Ok so only for xbox360-----Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Hulk, Hawkeye, Sabertooth, Venom, Dr. Doom, Magneto
PS2 version: Gambit, Hulk, Iron fist, War Machine and Moon Knight
Also abck to character selection, where are the other characters that were in Civil War? Seriously there were a helluva of a lot more. This game honestly could have gone with haveing double the playable characters from the first.
They should have included a bigger selection for Avengers, X-Men teams. heck even characters not affiliated with those teams.
The first game had 25 characters playable, 8 more if you got the Xbox360 version. They should have done the same here. Yeah you get 25 if you pre ordered the game from gamestop. Though you'd thinki with a sequel you'd have kept characters from the alst agme and just tranfered them over. I mean where is hawkeye, Ronin, nightcrawler, Sabertooth, moonknight, Strange, Elektra, Ghost rider, Namor, Vision, Captain Marvel?
Old playables like Cyclops, Magneto, Black Widow, Spider Woman, Sentry[going for xbox and ps3 here folks], She Hulk, and Psylocke, Colossus
Also what in the world happened to Silver Surfer and that entire story, um..Galactus was peeved at the end of MUA, you'd think he'd have come by by now.
I guess you can see my main issue is character choice and a little of the cutscenes. Now for the pros. honestly I was hoping for a better boss than fury himself. Heck i'd have expected somehting like what was occuring to de done thanks to Sinister, Mojo, The Phalanx, or possibly some inactive system that was activated once Doom was taken by Odin form the last game.
Pros:
Great agme, the fusions are awesome. Stroyline is great and the gameplay iis momentus. The only flaw is the camera i can really see. You can'ty control it as well as you'd think. Also, i've found that Storm is actually a screen clearing charcter with her wind blownig power. She levels the field of all debris and weak opponents. Regardless of all the cons i've posted, I still find this game to eb great. Being a Marvel and DC fan, I ahve to say i'm grateful for a sequel, only thing is if they make a third, I hope it's raven studios and VV decide to work together on this game. The two companies would make it more then perfect. Now if only DC universe could get a respectful rpg game like Marvel has.
