Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What new buyers may not know is that Activision has removed and canceled their DLC support as well as terminated (allegedly are moving) their online servers for this game.
No. 1 the DLC. Activision released this statment:
"The Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Downloadable Content was a limited time offer, expiring on December 31, 2009."
What this means is that their DLC packs featuring Juggernaut, Psylocke, Magneto, Carnage, Black Panther, and Cable are no longer available.
What's worse is that people who have downloaded these characters before will not be able to join you online because you would need a patch downloaded by Activision to join their missions, however Activision has also removed that patch which they do not host anymore.
So whoever buys the game now, cannot only download the extra characters mentioned above, they cannot also play alongside players who already own them.
To add insult to injury, Activision added Xbox 360 Achievements and PS3 Trophy Support for the 6 characters above, but since you won't be able to download those characters, you will be stuck at 1000 out of a possible 1250 achievement fulfillment.
However, Activision's statement above was also a lie. The DLC mentioned above was released in November of 2009. Activision released this statement on January 6th, a whole week AFTER the service had already been canceled. Meaning, there was no consumer warning about this at all for their loyal fans. Also, the content was removed at least a week before the 12-31-2009 date they stated. I checked on 12-26-2009 after I had received some points for Christmas the day before, and it was no longer there. Some people on Activision's message boards have said that it wasn't already available even before Christmas.
The online servers are currently down but said to be temporary as they are trying to move it to another server. With what's been going on right now, I wouldn't be surprised if Activision just continues to axe its fans, and this too was just later canceled.
Activision has dropped the ball on this game big time. Just Google this mess, and you will see for yourself.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Story The Marvel universe is being torn apart. You and your team of Marvel super heroes help Nick Fury launch a secret pre-emptive strike against Latveria and Lucia Von Bardas only to have to thwart her retalitaory attack on New York City. Coupled with other super hero incidents, public sentiment turns against super heroes. The Superhuman Registration Act becomes law and super heroes must register as weapons of mass destruction, and become licensed government agents with the United States government. Lines are drawn as Iron Man leads the pro-registration faction, while Captain America spearheads the stand on anti-registration. You must pick a side and fight to determine the fate of the universe and humankind. So, whose side are you on. Playable Characters Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will feature a wide array of playable heroes and villains, some of which are available from the beginning of the game, while others will need to be unlocked. Although the final list was not available at publishing time, some of the faces from the Marvel universe that players can count on seeing include: Daredevil, Green Goblin, Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Mr. Fantastic, Deadpool, Juggernaut, Thing, Spider-Man, Storm, Songbird, Thor, Iron Fist, Wolverine, Venom and Gambit. Gameplay As with the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the new version of the game is an action RPG in which players create their own fighting team made up of four super heroes/villains. The makeup of teams can be changed as the player chooses, and characters can be leveled up as they gain experience and the game progresses. In addition, the separate powers of super heroes can be combined, or "fused," resulting in unique abilities that are devastating in combat.The game contains over 250 of these fused powers that only await the right combination in battle to be released.
