Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 launched into retail stores this past Tuesday. The game features a storyline deep into the comics of the Civil War, where our heroes are fighting over the "Super Hero Registration Act".

“Marvel:  Ultimate Alliance 2 builds on the gameplay that made the first title a hit and takes the experience to all new heights,” states Rob Kostich, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision Publishing, Inc.  “Players will fight through cinematic and immersive environments, engage in graphically vivid and devastating fusions, and interact with or destroy everything in their path as they experience one of the most tumultuous political events ever imagined in comic book lore.” 

“Just as Civil War will be remembered as this decade’s most memorable comic book event, so too will Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 go down as one of this generation’s greatest Super Hero games,” says Ira Rubenstein, Executive Vice President of the Marvel Digital Media Group. “The notion of heroes fighting heroes is compelling both in terms of action and storytelling, and Activision has brought it all to life in a way that’s sure to please everyone who plays.”

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is available for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, Playstation Portable and Nintendo DS.
