I enjoyed the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance, it was not my favorite game of all time but it was pretty decent, I was not as big of a comic book fan back then as I am now, and what I know about MUA 2 has really gotten me on its side.

MUA 2 will feature over 140 characters from the marvel universe (the original had 140 therefore its over 140)

Including new playable characters such as:
-Venom
-Green Goblin
-Juggernaut
-Banshee

Just to name a few - with the returning cast from the first game, (Wolverine, Capt America, Spiderman, Elektra, Ect...)

but what is really cool - in terms of game play is that during combat you will be able to "fuse" powers together, for example, using storm to create a tornado, and have dead pool throw grenades into it, making it a deadly trap for enemies.

I think this is very cool, and will make for some very creative game play.

Another interesting point I find, is the story for the second game, the first game had an ok story, which was fairly typical comic book plot to take down Dr. Doom and the master's for evil, while visiting major set pieces from the Marvel Universe and fighting Iconic Villains, like the Mighty Fing Fang Foon! (that was a joke)

The story for the second game takes place during the American civil war, and the heroes and villains split into two sides, one side being led by Tony Stark/Ironman, the other by Captain America , and you will be able to choose which side to play on, I think this is very cool because your not fighting just Hero Vs Villain, its Hero on Hero, and Villain on Villain action.

The first one was great on loving the source material , by having alternative costumes for each characters, and an RPG element by upgrading your heroes abilities, and having a great team bonus system which in the second game appears to be even more awesome, and gives possibilities for great team match ups for the ultimate super hero/villain team!

Enjoy This Trailer! :
