Another one of Neoseeker's E3 2009 floor impression pieces, this time we look at Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 from Vicarious Visions and Activision.

One of the cooler features in this sequel to the 2006 hit is Fusion attacks, which allow superheroes to combine their powers and destroy the new enemy swarms. Oh, and Deadpool is awesome, as always.

Just as an introduction, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 story was inspired and heavily driven by the Marvel Civil War series. Superhoroes are placed in modern narrative where they must choose sides in a United States driven by unrest and mistrust toward masked crimefighters. It comes down to liberties with Captain America or security with Iron Man / Tony Stark, whose side supports registering secret identities.

Off the bat, we are treated to some heavy gameplay footage using heroes on either side. To start, the devs use Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Venom as they assault Castle Doom, later moving on to Juggernaut, Storm, Songbird, and Captain America in daytime Washington D.C., trying to stop terrorists, with pop-ins from Thor, Deadpool and others. Through the demonstration, we see several mechanics come into play.
