The Marvel Civil War is perhaps one the most memorable stories in recent memory and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 loosely follows the events of that epic struggle. You'll hack, slash and web sling your way through various areas like Latveria, New York City and the African nation of Wakanda as either the Pro-Registration or Anti-Registration side. But not all is well with this tale as the game does suffer some frequent frame rate issues, the occasional glitch, and an oversimplification that hinders what could have been the best Marvel action RPG to date.
The story in MUA2 is an amalgam of two separate plot lines in the Marvel Universe, The Civil War mini-series and The Secret War mini-series. Vicarious Visions has done a wonderful job at combining both mini-series into one cohesive story, but comic book fans may not be appreciative of the liberties that were taken in order to get that story to fit within the confines of the game. The story is played out in three acts: Act I begins with the Secret War and events leading to the Civil War, Act II is focused solely on the Civil War, and finally Act III is supposedly dealing with the aftermath of the Civil War.
