Released for the Nintendo DS, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is a role-playing game developed by Blizzard Albany and published by Activision.

Blizzard Albany also made Guitar Hero: On Tour, Transformers Decepticons and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for the DS.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 supports up to 2 players, including cooperative play, which makes it a strong pick for playing with a friend.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
  • you want a game to beat together with a friend
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
  • you only have a few minutes at a time

What playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
