MUA 2

[AfghanAnt]

is thor a standard character? a few uk game shops are offering an exclusive thor character if the game is bought there

Yeah Thor's standard. Juggernaut's not though.

[Podmark]

I'm liking all those guys on that IGN article. Especially the War Machine, I love that costume.

Marvel.com has shown some NPCs. Electro, Scorcher, Wonderman. I'll try to find links.

EDIT:
Electro and Scorcher - I think Electro looks awful.

Wonderman - Not liking his either.

Concept for Havok - Might be ok, little overdone.

[captmorgan72]

My wish is that all of the NPCs become playable in DLC form later.

[steamteck]

Gameplay looks good.  I'll probably get this title because I really enjoyed the first MUA (only hated the Glactus part).  

I really gotta build a new computer first though.

I don't think that MUA 2 is going to come out for the pc.  

Well I won't be getting then. Too bad, despite evil storyline the gameplay looked pretty good.

[JKCarrier]

Well, that's one of the better ones. His face and the rocky texture look really good. Don't care for the costume, or the "giant arms/stumpy legs" proportions, though.

[clownprince]

yeah his face does look cool  and whose ever on the recieving end of that haymaker och

[Figure Fan]

I think these costumes look great, actually. I like that they're staying true to the actual comic-inspired looks, while adding practical boots, gloves, zips, etc.

This game should be a blast.

[captmorgan72]

Looks cool but do the arms actually do anything?

[murs47]

cool, nice detail on the spider-arms

[captmorgan72]

Some cool npc pics

[Courtnall6]

Just give Thing white and black and/or blue and black trunks...is that so hard?

Still a hideous Spider-Man costume and you just gotta love the pointless piping on Black Panther.

I'm absolutely amazed Lady Deathstrike looks like Lady Deathstrike.

[murs47]

loving that spider-woman and black panther

[Podmark]

I think all these newest ones look great. Cept maybe Black Panther - what's up with the ropes on his chest? They just stick out so much. Also it's kind of bland, a little gold would have spruced it up nicely.

Yeah, gold would have looked nice. I was wondering where his anti-metal claws are?

Hobgoblin:

Looks cool but do the arms actually do anything?

Nice, that's what I was waiting to see. Though in the books, he seemed to change his fighting style quite a bit when he was Iron Spider, he had the arms, and he was bulletproof and I think he could fly or something. Is it just going to be a costume change?

[Figure Fan]

Hobgoblin looks cool, except he seems to be missing his cape in-game. Liking the others, too.

[Previsionary]

I recall it being posted that each alternate costume had different animations or some such. Maybe I imagined it? Anyway, news:

Looks like Cyclops, Psylocke, and Blade are exclusives for Wii. Gah, I was really hoping they'd move away from the exclusivity crap.

NOOOOOOO! Stupid Wii - why does my favourite character go on to the console(s) I don;t own??! I HATE console exclusivity

[BWPS]

I would probably get the Wii version for them if I didn't know for sure it would have terrible motion controls.

[daerdevil]

Alright, I'm old.  I don't get the flying Spiderman with arms thing.  Those others look pretty good...even Black Panther seems decent, but the ropes are a bit pointless.  Glad to see Hobgoblin.

Exclusives, bah!  Of course, those are 3 characters I'd not use anyways, but I loathe seeing how I bought the wrong console when it comes to exclusive characters.  Reminds me of buying MUA for the PS2 where the PSP got exclusives. 

I'm hoping the reviews will sway me, but still a bit luke warm on this one.

[herodad1]

anybody seen the tv commercial where cap and ironman are arguing who gets juggernaut?very funny.

[TheMarvell]

so is Hobgoblin another playable character, an NPC, or just an alternate skin of Green Goblin? Cus, from the looks of it, he seems to be another skin for GG.

Why must they do the exclusive crap? Can't everybody just get the same game with the same features regardless of what system you buy it on? Does the 360 get any exclusive characters or are they screwing that system over?

This is looking a lot better now, even though most of the costumes look awful (especially Wolverine). I'm kind of disappointed with some of the roster as well. I don't see Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, or Dr. Strange at all, which is surprising, and no She-Hulk or Punisher is disappointing. But I have to say my interest in the game is a bit higher now after seeing it more in action. Those fusion powers do look pretty sweet.

[captmorgan72]

She-Hulk is actually in this game as a npc and who knows, maybe a DLC later.

[captmorgan72]

Ever wonder what Penance looks like under that costume?
