@@ijustbevibin0425 MUA was very light on equipment, just 1 piece per hero.

I agreed although, to it's defense, the primary outfit for each character were original reinterpretations of known outfits: higher amount of polygons, more detailed and with realistic textures (GG's chainmail, Venom with shark skin, Deadpool's clothing, etc). It definetely was more complex than to make 4 skins (3 for MK & 1 for Silver Surfer) in MUA1.
@captainfach That, and there wasn't nearly as many items to find in MUA2. For me, that was a big part of the thrill in the 1st game... waiting to see what I'd find in the chests.

The 1st game was better by a landslide . My 2 most important reasons are #1 , the roster , #2 The Arcade style gameplay that they sadly removed in the 2nd game, and it looks like it won't be returning in #3 .
I love both games, but I honestly enjoyed Ultimate Alliance 2 more. I really liked the story as it felt much more personal, I liked that they used the more obscure/lesser known villains for the story & many of the boss battles as it gave it a nice breath of fresh air from the villains that would normally be used, same goes for the lesser known superheroes that show up throughout the adventure, the graphics and character models were improved upon TEN FOLD, the combat felt better as it was more hard hitting, faster & much smoother, the Fusion attacks were awesome, and the cinematics were better. Vicarious Visions did an awesome job, IMO. I'm looking forward as hell to Ultimate Alliance 3. From what I've seen, Team Ninja is doing a bang-up job.
I disagree when it comes to cutscenes. They are much better in 1. Like its not even a competition. The main gameplay graphics are better in 2 for sure but the cutscenes took a very notable downgrade in 2. You also have many more power choices in 1 instead of being stuck with 4 powers for each character which I personally prefer. I'd rather have more options, even if I have to grind more.
@@Jack_of_Hearts4 You obviously only played the 360/PS3 version because in the Wii/PS2/PSP version the characters have 8 powers each. As far as the cinematics go I thought they were better in part 2.
@@kal-el8402 far from it. Would I rank it the weakest of the 3? Probably, but weakest doesn't mean bad.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 is a masterpiece, Ultimate Alliance 2 is bland as heck, and Ultimate Alliance 3 looks like a perfect amalgamation of the first game’s personality and the second one’s gameplay improvements.
Absolutely correct. Loved X-men Legends 1 & 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1. Didn’t realize MUA 2 was from a different developer when I bought it years ago and pretty much hated it.
I'm not gonna lie I've been watching a crap ton of Ultimate Alliance related content and this is the video that got me the most hype for MUA3. Reliving both of the previous games defo brought back some fond memories that makes me incredibly excited to see the next step in MUA3. Great vid!
To me Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2 Have a special place in my childhood Ultimate Alliance 1 had better interactions Ultimate Alliance 2 had better gameplay. Ultimate Alliance 1&2 had better stories then Captain America Civil War & Infinity War
Something even i about 11 years ago noticed was that ultimate alliance 1 had better graphics for some odd reason. And that there was much more storyline to it. I beat ua2 but never beat 1 to this day
I admire the fact that even though you personally enjoyed the RPG elements in Alliance 2 you still gave the win in that category to Alliance 1 by acknowledging the greater depth. Great review!
This is such a great video. I've got to admit, I've never really given MUA 2 enough love - I have to go back and finish that one. Also, good point about the huge bosses in the first game being the most memorable parts of the game. I hope the Sentinels and Sandman in MUA 3 are a sign that they're bringing those big boss fights back.
Thanks Josh! I admit I was a bit underwhelmed with MUA 2 after my first play through. But both of these games are so much more fun when the characters are higher levels. So New Game Plus is a much better experience.
I don't currently own a switch but yes I'm looking forward to MUA3. As for my favourite MUA game they both have things that I like. For example I liked the different locations that we were able to go to in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I also liked X-Tremes Merc's Revenge is one my favourites but so is Cyclops' Optic Incineration. I do understand what your saying about fusions though. And unlike X-Tremes they can be cancelled. I also like the fact that MUA2 did away with the extraction points. Well the PS3 and xbox 360 versions did. They were still present in the ps2 and PSP versions of the game.
Ultimate Alliance 1 was more like an action-based Diablo dungeon crawler, and less like a "beat-em up" game. So I guess you just prefer beat-em up games, seeing as you didn't believe that removing abilities, items, team bonuses, etc was a problem.
First: f*ck off, you killed Gwen Stacy lol Second: a lot of the special powers in MUA1 felt like a filler to simply have more. I think X-Men Legends 1 & 2 did it better with more viable options to make your "own" character. Although it would have been cool to have the option of remove spent points more easily, like in MUA2. Every new entry was a downgrade of the last game, although each one ended up improving some details.
Am i the only one who like more than 4 powers? I like having variety. And some powers that were not great on normal mode made a huge impact on hard mode. Mua2 had much floaty combat
As a kid and as an "adult" i prefer UA2 more. Its so much prettier, more satisfying combat, and I personally feel like the story is great(i must be the only one in history to think this). The 3 acts are all great and tie into each other. Latvaria leads to registration, registration causes nanite creation, which was latvarian technology created originally by the tinkerer. UA 1 is a solid 8.5/10 but to me personally, UA2 is an 8.8/10 im also a nostalgia baby, tho, so keep that in mind before murdering me
Lots of great memories with these games. Played the first one in the original Xbox when it first launched and met one of my best online friend who I still keep up with to this day. We played it all the time trying out different teams and running through the harder difficulty mode. We were a bit bummed out when the DLC characters dropped and found out they were locked to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. We even called Activision and tried to convince their customer service reps to add those characters to the OG Xbox version of the characters at the time (we were kids and couldn't afford 360s at the time). Imagine how excited we were to play the 360 versions bundled in with our 360s along with Forza Motorsport 2 a year or so later. It was awesome playing through it again and again. Great times!
Let's be honest the music in the second one is way way better. Anytime I hear the music I get emotional because I remember playing this game nonstop with my brother. Luckily today I bought the combo pack on PS4. And now we are playing it again and we are planning to get platinums in both games.
I used to love MUA 1. I still do mostly. However, I have played the game so much that I noticed a fatal flaw in single player. Your AI companions never use their powers on their own.
Yea it requires you to switch often and use up stamina bar and different characters. You can run thru normal not doing this but I’m hard mode you gotta play smarter with your team
Mua 2 will always b my top favorite. Don't get me wrong mua 1 was legendary but the second just tops it for me. Mua 3 just didn't feel the same tbh. I mean its good but not legendary
I'm disappointed that you couldn't play Spider-Woman in the sequel after she was playable in the first game. On the plus side,I get Carnage and my favorite Anti-Air assist in the sequel.
Excellent breakdown, in comparison, MUA1 has more replayability because your heroes can level up to 99 by the player's choice. The player can build their own teams, while MUA2 has comic accurate teams only. @Diego Reviews U did an excellent job at this, we are all proud of U.
or even why Mua3 isn't as good . like an expiation video on why MUA3 is bad compared to maybe the 1st or 2nd if anything u don't have to compare all 3. if u don't feel like it.
I'm kinda surprised that you didn't factor roster in your comparisons. I mean, MUA1 would likely have still won with this in mind, but still, it's an important element. I actually preferred X-men Legends and MUA1 having numerous powers as I view it as giving both the characters and the players more personality and expression. Also, it gives you options if one power is not as good. In MUA2 and indeed MUA3, if you're playing a favorite character with a terrible power (like Scarlet Witch in MUA3), you'll either have to deal with less utility or switch to someone else. I think MUA2 had the potential to be better story wise, but it was ultimately never as dark as it presented itself to be and the RE2 type route A and route B playthroughs weren't as detailed as they could have been. All that said, I pretty much agreed with you on everything else. Good comparison video.
@@DiegoReviews What did you think of it? Where can I read/watch the review? I can imagine why it was tough. The game has a LOT of flaws. But damn, I love what it does right soooo much.
Best Combat: XL2 Best item-Inventory system: MUA1 Best Graphics&Arts: MUA1 Best Level Design: MUA1 Best Character Options: MUA3 Best Costume&attributes: MUA1 Best Villians: MUA1 Best Momentum/Xtreme Moves: MUA2
You like games when it is limited or it has less features and customization? Bro u not a true gamer ultimate alliance 1 got way more features than mua2 and mua2 is sht compared to mua1
Does anyone have the dlc for ps3 and is willing to share it with me? I've been looking everywhere asking everyone. Are there any human beings with a heart that will help me?
Easily my favorite series. I still play all 3 of them. They all of their strengths. In my opinion 1 had the best abilities and loot/gear system, and most alternate costumes. 2 had the best visually and made you feel the most like the heroes. You could send a group of henchman flying with ability moves and special/fusion moves will clear an entire room or take down a huge chunk of a bosses health bar. 3 has the best roster (in my opinion) you have a little bit of everything guardians, xmen,ff, avengers, street heroes,supernatural heroes, and villains. I’ve easily played these games more than any other in my life. Mostly 1 and 2 because it took so long for 3 to come out. To me the weakness are in number 1 the heroes don’t feel as powerful as they should. You can do extreme moves in a room full of goons and not kill a single enemy and your ep meter charges slow as hell and without dlc the roster is pretty small. Number 2 is two short, they removed cutscenes before missions and replaced them with basically slideshows, you only have 4 powers and 2 costumes per character, story is too short And the civil war part of it is only like 2 missions. If they were going to do civil war they should have gone all the way. Number 3 it’s only available on the switch, if you don’t grind your heroes in the rifts you’ll be too weak to unlock and win things outside of the story and it takes a long time to unlock. The iso system isn’t too bad but the menu sucks. And 1000 capacity might sound like a lot, but it’s actually too small, and a lot of heroes have powers that are useless. Number one did too, but every hero had so many that you could find some that worked for you. There are characters in number 3 that have one or no effective powers at all *ahem* scarlet witch
Not sure these factors were weighted correctly. If the game play is shit then the game can shine in every other way but nobody will want to play it. Game play is THE most important factor in a game not asthetics.
Great video, sir. I grew up playing both games for hours with my younger brother. The first one for me is by far the best, and what I spent the most on. I've actually started playing it again recently. I never finished the second one but I plan on doing that one afterwards. I never fully gave it a chance from how different it felt. The third didn't show much promise to me when it was first released but I might give it a try one of these days, just to see if anything was improved upon or brought back from the first two. I saw the cutscenes however, and I was not happy. 😅
Thanks, man! I didn’t play the second one for a long time either. But I’m glad I eventually did. There’s a lot I like about it. Oof. The third one is rough for me.
MUA1 definitely has a better roster and a more adventurous spirit. But it was held back by technical limitations, somewhat antiquated character kits and gimmicky boss fights. Sure, launching yourself out of a cannon 5 times in a row to fight a giant robot is neat the first time, but repeat playthroughs suffer for it, and the Atlantis maps could have a least been much smaller to ease the frustration of movement. MUA2 basically put all its chips in graphics, destruction physics and fun combat. In a way, it at least is the superior game if you just wanna bash stuff without worrying about your progression. Hopefully MUA3 is the Ultimate Alliance of both predecessors' strong traits.
UA1 has the better atmosphere, UI, story, bosses and roster. But, UA2 has gameplay that has aged much better. Some missions in UA1 dragged on or had enemies that forced you to do specific combos and it isn’t as fun to clear a room of enemies as it is in UA2. UA1 is the better overall Marvel Universe experience and UA2 is the better Beat Em Up.
UA1's story was better than UA2's, they had the right idea with the Civil War but then they botched it by veering off into The Fold. I think what they should have done instead was reveal that the Civil War was being orchestrated and manipulated by Hydra, it would've stayed relevant to the Civil War while also giving us a big organization of villains to fight like the first game did.
Imo MUA1 is leagues better than MUA2 in just about every way. Visually I find MUA1 is much prettier looking game,which is kinda nuts considering it's older,but MUA2 is just so grey and meh,and just like Diego said,the maps and level of MUA2 are sooo bland compared to MUA1. MUA1 graphicly is kinda like heroes 2,it's got this unaging graphics,coz it's not about the texture quality,it's all about that epic beautifull art style. Where I disagree with diego is the combat though,I MUCH prefered MUA1,I wouldnt call the combat there clunky at all tbh. One of the biggest gripes I have had with MUA1 is that it lacks atleast a couple of extra difficulty settings,the only way to make the game actually in any way challenging,is to go on hard mode and use normal mode saves where you characters start at low level. MUA2 feels even easier than MUA1,there is more autoaim/lock on assist which as a PC player I absolutely hate. The only thing I generally agree is much better in MUA2 compared to MUA1,is the ultimate/fusion attacks,in MUA1 they are pretty generic,in MUA2 they look dope as f***.
I'm gonna say it, flame away.... I liked MUAII better. Both are great, but I enjoyed 2 more. The RPG elements weren't that important. Funny enough, Diego directly contradicts himself on these points...therefore his point 2 is negligible.
I love both of these games, but I'd probably have to say that while UA 2 has more satisfying combat, UA 1 has better content. Don't why a lot of people seem to hate UA 2 in this comments section, yeah it definitely had it's problems, but it was still a solid game.
I'm actually pumped for MUA 3. Between MUA 1 and 2, I prefer the first game. The second one was a letdown. Remember that Activision used to own the MUA series and other Marvel titles. Most of Activision Marvel games were mediocre, so I guess the company ditched the Marvel gaming franchise. As of now, I think both Sony and Nintendo owns some of them, so I trust them.
These games were erased from existence, unless you got hard copies, and I heard they made to where not even those work somehow, I dunno, but I did hear that if you even bought them digitally, they became unplayable and thanos snapped
I haven’t played mua 1, but I thought the story in mua2 was amazing. All the secret recordings eg of cap talking politics etc. I thought it was a cool sorry with lots of weight dialogue in the hubs. I have the civil war comic, but I think this was even better.
MUA 1 combat game play is much better except for the fusion attacks! btw you seem like your are a person who doesn't like rpg and a casual gamer I might add.
I haven't played MUA2 but I have seen the game on yt and I found the story and locations tiresome. It's been years so I may be wrong about the locations. Just by listing the locations from the 1st game makes it instantly more appealing: SHIELD Helicarrier Stark Tower Omega Base Atlantis Mandarin's Palace aka Valley of Spirits The Sanctum Sanctorum Murderworld Mephisto's Realm Valhalla, Asgard and Niflheim Attilan Shia'r starship Skrull World Castle Doom You go from land to the sea, to another dimension and then space, it opens the Marvel Universe so much and makes the player more interested in it. And only 1 alternate costume for each character? Come on.
I preferred 1's story over ethically fucked Iron-man, stubborn ultimatum Captain America, and hours long pissing contest. I want heroes to actually work together in say...a all out attempt to stop someone from becoming _a God_
I like both games but I like MUA1 more than MUA2 in MUA1 Nightcrawler and Spider-Women where my 2 favorite heroes and in MUA2 it was Strom and Wolverine

YOU WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REALISE YOUR EXISTENCE WILL BE LOVE AND PARADISE. 6. THE ANGELS WILL SEPARATE THOSE WITH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS AND INTENTIONS OF VIOLENCE. AS THOSE WHO CALL UNTO YAHUWSHUWA WILL NEVER DO VIOLENCE EVER. SO THOSE WHO CHOSE TO FIGHT WILL BE DOING SIN. 7.THANKFULLY EARTH WILL BE CHANGED TO HEAVEN EVEN BEFORE THAT PROCESS, WE WILL BE WAITING AS OUR BODY PERMEATES WITH THE BEST FEELING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING WITHIN US.

Something even i about 11 years ago noticed was that ultimate alliance 1 had better graphics for some odd reason. And that there was much more storyline to it. I beat ua2 but never beat 1 to this day
I admire the fact that even though you personally enjoyed the RPG elements in Alliance 2 you still gave the win in that category to Alliance 1 by acknowledging the greater depth. Great review!
Thank you!
Ua2 is a better game lol
@@jimink3047 that's subjective
@@jimink3047 not in term of character in mua 1 there's more character and really like how you can switch ability in mua 1
This is such a great video. I've got to admit, I've never really given MUA 2 enough love - I have to go back and finish that one. Also, good point about the huge bosses in the first game being the most memorable parts of the game. I hope the Sentinels and Sandman in MUA 3 are a sign that they're bringing those big boss fights back.
Thanks Josh! I admit I was a bit underwhelmed with MUA 2 after my first play through. But both of these games are so much more fun when the characters are higher levels. So New Game Plus is a much better experience.
To me, i find the 1st game better! My main favorite character is Wolverine because he regenerates his health due to his mutant healing ability!
Me too
@@astrrg1072 I'm the best of what i do and what i do isn't nice!
Sorry but I didn't get your message but what I meant is my favorite character is wolverine because he regenerate his health
@@astrrg1072 ok, that's 1 of Wolverine's famous lines from the comics
I don't currently own a switch but yes I'm looking forward to MUA3.
As for my favourite MUA game they both have things that I like.
For example I liked the different locations that we were able to go to in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
I also liked X-Tremes Merc's Revenge is one my favourites but so is Cyclops' Optic Incineration.
I do understand what your saying about fusions though. And unlike X-Tremes they can be cancelled.
I also like the fact that MUA2 did away with the extraction points.
Well the PS3 and xbox 360 versions did. They were still present in the ps2 and PSP versions of the game.
How can you say that every character having less powers is a good thing? It takes away a huge component of the game.
MasterStryfe Building your character into different roles was the most unique thing across any of the MuA games.
Ultimate Alliance 1 was more like an action-based Diablo dungeon crawler, and less like a "beat-em up" game. So I guess you just prefer beat-em up games, seeing as you didn't believe that removing abilities, items, team bonuses, etc was a problem.
First: f*ck off, you killed Gwen Stacy lol
Second: a lot of the special powers in MUA1 felt like a filler to simply have more. I think X-Men Legends 1 & 2 did it better with more viable options to make your "own" character. Although it would have been cool to have the option of remove spent points more easily, like in MUA2.
Every new entry was a downgrade of the last game, although each one ended up improving some details.
Am i the only one who like more than 4 powers? I like having variety. And some powers that were not great on normal mode made a huge impact on hard mode. Mua2 had much floaty combat
MUA 1 > MUA 2
lemme say it, MUA 2 have no replay value for me unlike MUA1, which i have finished for more than 20 times
1 def had the better story . But 2 was better with the playable characters, powers , gameplay and was more fun to play with the heroes .
As a kid and as an "adult" i prefer UA2 more. Its so much prettier, more satisfying combat, and I personally feel like the story is great(i must be the only one in history to think this). The 3 acts are all great and tie into each other. Latvaria leads to registration, registration causes nanite creation, which was latvarian technology created originally by the tinkerer. UA 1 is a solid 8.5/10 but to me personally, UA2 is an 8.8/10 im also a nostalgia baby, tho, so keep that in mind before murdering me
I didn't get this notification and I'm pissed... Still great video as always Diego!
Lots of great memories with these games. Played the first one in the original Xbox when it first launched and met one of my best online friend who I still keep up with to this day. We played it all the time trying out different teams and running through the harder difficulty mode. We were a bit bummed out when the DLC characters dropped and found out they were locked to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. We even called Activision and tried to convince their customer service reps to add those characters to the OG Xbox version of the characters at the time (we were kids and couldn't afford 360s at the time). Imagine how excited we were to play the 360 versions bundled in with our 360s along with Forza Motorsport 2 a year or so later. It was awesome playing through it again and again. Great times!
When homie said “I can’t wait to see how the fusion moves evolve in MAU3” 💀💀💀
Having fun catching up on all your old stuff. I have Ultimate Alliance 2 on ps3. I haven't played it yet, though
Let's be honest the music in the second one is way way better. Anytime I hear the music I get emotional because I remember playing this game nonstop with my brother. Luckily today I bought the combo pack on PS4. And now we are playing it again and we are planning to get platinums in both games.
@@maxim13able I'm 16
maxim yakovlev Gaming isn’t a waste of time, it can be a hobby, a stress reliever, and good way to pass the time. Good day sir.
Both themes are equally good
I used to love MUA 1. I still do mostly. However, I have played the game so much that I noticed a fatal flaw in single player. Your AI companions never use their powers on their own.
Yea it requires you to switch often and use up stamina bar and different characters. You can run thru normal not doing this but I’m hard mode you gotta play smarter with your team
I swear I saw them doing it sometimes, not enough to consider them useful but still
I hope they make a part 3 and this channel is hella entertaining just subbed!
Thanks, man!
They made an Ultimate Alliance 3 lol its for switch only
In my opinion of course, Ultimate Alliance 1 and X-Men Legends 2 are the greatest Marvel games of all time.
Mua 2 will always b my top favorite. Don't get me wrong mua 1 was legendary but the second just tops it for me. Mua 3 just didn't feel the same tbh. I mean its good but not legendary
I'm disappointed that you couldn't play Spider-Woman in the sequel after she was playable in the first game.
On the plus side,I get Carnage and my favorite Anti-Air assist in the sequel.
Excellent breakdown, in comparison, MUA1 has more replayability because your heroes can level up to 99 by the player's choice. The player can build their own teams, while MUA2 has comic accurate teams only.
@Diego Reviews U did an excellent job at this, we are all proud of U.
Im so thankful I got these on steam and consoles when I did! Wish they were rereleased cause you know I’d still buy it…
please do this for MUA3 I can't find a comparison video for 1,2 and 3
or even why Mua3 isn't as good . like an expiation video on why MUA3 is bad compared to maybe the 1st or 2nd if anything u don't have to compare all 3. if u don't feel like it.
I just wanna know, is it possible playing with gambit, carnage or dr doom, strange?
The first ultimate alliance was scary because of murder world and mephisto's realm and overall nostalgia
I'm kinda surprised that you didn't factor roster in your comparisons. I mean, MUA1 would likely have still won with this in mind, but still, it's an important element. I actually preferred X-men Legends and MUA1 having numerous powers as I view it as giving both the characters and the players more personality and expression. Also, it gives you options if one power is not as good. In MUA2 and indeed MUA3, if you're playing a favorite character with a terrible power (like Scarlet Witch in MUA3), you'll either have to deal with less utility or switch to someone else. I think MUA2 had the potential to be better story wise, but it was ultimately never as dark as it presented itself to be and the RE2 type route A and route B playthroughs weren't as detailed as they could have been. All that said, I pretty much agreed with you on everything else. Good comparison video.
Are you or have you already made a comparison video for MUA3?
I have not! But I will be making a video on MUA 3.
So, have you played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3? To me it's easily the best.
I have. Since it came out. And it is easily the toughest review I’ve worked on.
@@DiegoReviews What did you think of it? Where can I read/watch the review? I can imagine why it was tough. The game has a LOT of flaws. But damn, I love what it does right soooo much.
I’m still working on it haha!
Naw the characters suck very random
Selections
Bro just the OST alone for ultimate alliance 1 says enough
Best Combat: XL2
Best item-Inventory system: MUA1
Best Graphics&Arts: MUA1
Best Level Design: MUA1
Best Character Options: MUA3
Best Costume&attributes: MUA1
Best Villians: MUA1
Best Momentum/Xtreme Moves: MUA2
There is a great evolution in technical issues, but the rest is a regression
Hot Take: UA2>UA1
You like games when it is limited or it has less features and customization? Bro u not a true gamer ultimate alliance 1 got way more features than mua2 and mua2 is sht compared to mua1
Gatekeeping
Does anyone have the dlc for ps3 and is willing to share it with me? I've been looking everywhere asking everyone. Are there any human beings with a heart that will help me?
I never finished any of these games. I'm about to play them in order. MUA3 looks amazing on PC, emulated at 60fps.
I love that level with Nightcrawler in hell
Nice video man. Have you reviewed Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3?
Still working on it!
Easily my favorite series. I still play all 3 of them. They all of their strengths. In my opinion 1 had the best abilities and loot/gear system, and most alternate costumes. 2 had the best visually and made you feel the most like the heroes. You could send a group of henchman flying with ability moves and special/fusion moves will clear an entire room or take down a huge chunk of a bosses health bar. 3 has the best roster (in my opinion) you have a little bit of everything guardians, xmen,ff, avengers, street heroes,supernatural heroes, and villains. I’ve easily played these games more than any other in my life. Mostly 1 and 2 because it took so long for 3 to come out.
To me the weakness are in number 1 the heroes don’t feel as powerful as they should. You can do extreme moves in a room full of goons and not kill a single enemy and your ep meter charges slow as hell and without dlc the roster is pretty small. Number 2 is two short, they removed cutscenes before missions and replaced them with basically slideshows, you only have 4 powers and 2 costumes per character, story is too short And the civil war part of it is only like 2 missions. If they were going to do civil war they should have gone all the way. Number 3 it’s only available on the switch, if you don’t grind your heroes in the rifts you’ll be too weak to unlock and win things outside of the story and it takes a long time to unlock. The iso system isn’t too bad but the menu sucks. And 1000 capacity might sound like a lot, but it’s actually too small, and a lot of heroes have powers that are useless. Number one did too, but every hero had so many that you could find some that worked for you. There are characters in number 3 that have one or no effective powers at all *ahem* scarlet witch
Not sure these factors were weighted correctly. If the game play is shit then the game can shine in every other way but nobody will want to play it. Game play is THE most important factor in a game not asthetics.
Great video, sir. I grew up playing both games for hours with my younger brother. The first one for me is by far the best, and what I spent the most on. I've actually started playing it again recently. I never finished the second one but I plan on doing that one afterwards. I never fully gave it a chance from how different it felt.
The third didn't show much promise to me when it was first released but I might give it a try one of these days, just to see if anything was improved upon or brought back from the first two. I saw the cutscenes however, and I was not happy. 😅
Thanks, man! I didn’t play the second one for a long time either. But I’m glad I eventually did. There’s a lot I like about it. Oof. The third one is rough for me.
@@DiegoReviews You're very welcome! What would you rate the third one? 1-10.
MUA1 definitely has a better roster and a more adventurous spirit. But it was held back by technical limitations, somewhat antiquated character kits and gimmicky boss fights. Sure, launching yourself out of a cannon 5 times in a row to fight a giant robot is neat the first time, but repeat playthroughs suffer for it, and the Atlantis maps could have a least been much smaller to ease the frustration of movement.
MUA2 basically put all its chips in graphics, destruction physics and fun combat. In a way, it at least is the superior game if you just wanna bash stuff without worrying about your progression.
Hopefully MUA3 is the Ultimate Alliance of both predecessors' strong traits.
UA1 has the better atmosphere, UI, story, bosses and roster.
But, UA2 has gameplay that has aged much better.
Some missions in UA1 dragged on or had enemies that forced you to do specific combos and it isn’t as fun to clear a room of enemies as it is in UA2.
UA1 is the better overall Marvel Universe experience and UA2 is the better Beat Em Up.
Is cyclops only on the next gen version? I only had the first one on original xbox.
Great overview, thanks for this Diego!
No thank YOU!
Avenger game is around the corner, what's your expectation
Very high! I’ll be making a discussion video after the reveal.
UA1's story was better than UA2's, they had the right idea with the Civil War but then they botched it by veering off into The Fold. I think what they should have done instead was reveal that the Civil War was being orchestrated and manipulated by Hydra, it would've stayed relevant to the Civil War while also giving us a big organization of villains to fight like the first game did.
Imo MUA1 is leagues better than MUA2 in just about every way.
Visually I find MUA1 is much prettier looking game,which is kinda nuts considering it's older,but MUA2 is just so grey and meh,and just like Diego said,the maps and level of MUA2 are sooo bland compared to MUA1.
MUA1 graphicly is kinda like heroes 2,it's got this unaging graphics,coz it's not about the texture quality,it's all about that epic beautifull art style.
Where I disagree with diego is the combat though,I MUCH prefered MUA1,I wouldnt call the combat there clunky at all tbh.
One of the biggest gripes I have had with MUA1 is that it lacks atleast a couple of extra difficulty settings,the only way to make the game actually in any way challenging,is to go on hard mode and use normal mode saves where you characters start at low level.
MUA2 feels even easier than MUA1,there is more autoaim/lock on assist which as a PC player I absolutely hate.
The only thing I generally agree is much better in MUA2 compared to MUA1,is the ultimate/fusion attacks,in MUA1 they are pretty generic,in MUA2 they look dope as f***.
I wish there was a very hard and a expert mode in MUA1 to spice things up like what MUA2 did.
mua 1 is better than the 2nd one in every way and i have played both games on every console since ps2
I'm gonna say it, flame away.... I liked MUAII better. Both are great, but I enjoyed 2 more. The RPG elements weren't that important. Funny enough, Diego directly contradicts himself on these points...therefore his point 2 is negligible.
Are the games still on Steam?
This video is a year old
And I’ve yet to review MUA 3...
Diego Rivera you should do it
And you should also do an mua4 theory video
Both Were Good Games I do Agree with You when you Said Ultimate Alliance 2 has Better Combat 👊🔥💯
I love both of these games, but I'd probably have to say that while UA 2 has more satisfying combat, UA 1 has better content. Don't why a lot of people seem to hate UA 2 in this comments section, yeah it definitely had it's problems, but it was still a solid game.
Even as a kid, 2 bore the hell out of me. I will give it a retry tho
I'm actually pumped for MUA 3. Between MUA 1 and 2, I prefer the first game. The second one was a letdown. Remember that Activision used to own the MUA series and other Marvel titles. Most of Activision Marvel games were mediocre, so I guess the company ditched the Marvel gaming franchise. As of now, I think both Sony and Nintendo owns some of them, so I trust them.
I’m really pumped for MUA 3. It looks like it improves on many aspects of the franchise.
@@DiegoReviews You're right! I'm just glad Activision isn't in charge of this franchise. Can't wait either!
13:27: Mermaid Man!
These games were erased from existence, unless you got hard copies, and I heard they made to where not even those work somehow, I dunno, but I did hear that if you even bought them digitally, they became unplayable and thanos snapped
YES. DIEGO IS HERE! LETS GO BABY!
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 will always be superior to MUA 2
I haven’t played mua 1, but I thought the story in mua2 was amazing. All the secret recordings eg of cap talking politics etc. I thought it was a cool sorry with lots of weight dialogue in the hubs. I have the civil war comic, but I think this was even better.
Just subbed great review!
I really appreciate that!
MUA 1 combat game play is much better except for the fusion attacks! btw you seem like your are a person who doesn't like rpg and a casual gamer I might add.
Excellent video as always!!!
Thank you Dane ❤️
Great video. When’s the next autosaving the day gonna be?
THERE'S A 3RD ONE NOW!
Dont forget ultimate alliance 3
One thing I always hated about MUA2 was the single alternative outfit, and most of the time they were eating boring or straight up terrible
I preferred MUA 2. The physics on the capes and the ragdoll death animations were awesome!
I haven't played MUA2 but I have seen the game on yt and I found the story and locations tiresome. It's been years so I may be wrong about the locations. Just by listing the locations from the 1st game makes it instantly more appealing:
SHIELD Helicarrier
Stark Tower
Omega Base
Atlantis
Mandarin's Palace aka Valley of Spirits
The Sanctum Sanctorum
Murderworld
Mephisto's Realm
Valhalla, Asgard and Niflheim
Attilan
Shia'r starship
Skrull World
Castle Doom
You go from land to the sea, to another dimension and then space, it opens the Marvel Universe so much and makes the player more interested in it. And only 1 alternate costume for each character? Come on.

I preferred 1's story over ethically fucked Iron-man, stubborn ultimatum Captain America, and hours long pissing contest. I want heroes to actually work together in say...a all out attempt to stop someone from becoming _a God_
the feelings i have for both games makes it a stalemate
Do you have them on ps4
@@5ir_ELO i wish, i have gold edition and second one on xbox 360, i’m upset they removed them from the playstation store
What about psp version?
I like both games but I like MUA1 more than MUA2 in MUA1 Nightcrawler and Spider-Women where my 2 favorite heroes and in MUA2 it was Strom and Wolverine
I've only played ultimate alliance 2. I'm sure I'll love it. If Phoenix is half as bad ass as she is in the 2nd game. Then I'm in
Gotta level up that strike stat bro. Then you'll feel the weight of your attack. So will the baddies.
I always felt mua2 as souless and bland, I wish Raven could've done the sequel
Why choose between them?
If you can't choose
Choose both of them
Anybody trying to gameshare, it’s literally impossible for me to get it now
Its so Upsetting they Removed these Two Games off the PS4 and Xbox One Store but They Might make Nintendo Switch Ports to It I Hope they Do 🔥
Ultimate Alliance 2 is way better than the first one
Nile Horuseus I agree
I agree with this assessment. MUA2 is the better game from a technical standpoint. But MUA1 is the better Marvel game

You are right about Yod Hay Waw Shin Waw Ayin(YaHuWSHuWa). A somali offered me a koran and I told him I have the truth in my heart and rejected his offer. So he said " I told you what I believe, so you tell me what you believe." And I told him about The Father YaHuWaH and Son, YaHuSHuWa and when he repeated YaHuSHuWa, we heard a loud ovation and he even said it was angels and we saw a horizontal rainbow and a cardinal was flying across it and we both said it was a miracle. But he is still muslim. Even though the LOUD CLAPPING OVATION happened when the muslim somali said YaHuWSHuWa.
No one was around us when the loud ovation happened and he was looking behind me and I was looking behind him to see where the ovation came from because the sound of the ovation surrounded us and my heart was pounding in fear like what just happened?
No matter how much I've stalled THE INEVITABLE FUTURE TIMELINE, THE INEVITABLE FUTURE TIMELINE will come into fruition.
1. The sick children will be healed with utterrance of THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, YAHUWSHUWA.
2. The heavens will open on Earth for all to witness as the angels will commune with the healed children as the children heal the sick and feed the poor in THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, YAHUWSHUWA.
3. The multitudes all over the world will learn of YAHUWSHUWA. As that is the true Good News that will be preached and demonstrated for them to witness.
4. AT THAT POINT THOSE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO CALLED UNTO YAHUWSHUWA TO FEED THE POOR AND HEAL THE SICK WILL KNOW THEY WILL NEVER DIE OR BE HURT DURING TRIBULATION.
5. THOSE HUMAN MULTITUDES WILL LOVE EVERYONE, EVEN THOSE WHO HATE THEM BECAUSE YAHUWSHUWA TAUGHT THEM THAT HIGHEST LEVEL OF LOVE WILL SHOW THAT YOU HAVE ARE SINCERE WHEN YOU CALL OUT TO YAHUWSHUWA. YOU WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REALISE YOUR EXISTENCE WILL BE LOVE AND PARADISE.
6. THE ANGELS WILL SEPARATE THOSE WITH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS AND INTENTIONS OF VIOLENCE. AS THOSE WHO CALL UNTO YAHUWSHUWA WILL NEVER DO VIOLENCE EVER. SO THOSE WHO CHOSE TO FIGHT WILL BE DOING SIN.
7.THANKFULLY EARTH WILL BE CHANGED TO HEAVEN EVEN BEFORE THAT PROCESS, WE WILL BE WAITING AS OUR BODY PERMEATES WITH THE BEST FEELING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING WITHIN US.
I FORGOT TO MENTION PEOPLE WILL BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD IN YAHUWSHUWA'S NAME AS THE SICK IS HEALED AND POOR BEING FED HAPPENS.
