Right, so all the really late Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 reviews seem to be trickling in now... *awkward silence*

Sooo not our fault. Anyway, whether you've played the game or not, check out Neoseeker's review of the game, see what you think -- if for no reason other than the fact that we are Neoseeker. Anyway, what's the final verdict? Pretty solid.

"Marvel’s greatest super heroes unite for one more hoo-rah in this arcade beat em up style game.
