Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 Review (Vernholio)
I've had this in my queue for a long time and finally got around to installing it.
Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE port.
* KB+M controls are really bad. Half the time they're non-responsive. You can press the 1 and 2 keys for light/heavy attacks but they nearly never work. I figured out you can use the mouse buttons for the same thing, just like any other ARPG. But, they only work sporadically, too. Keyboard mapping can even be wrong. Start-up tutorial says to press 4 to jump -- and fly for Iron Man -- and it's actually 3. The team member combos are a cool mechanic, but they're next to impossible to pull off with KB+M.
* Resolution is not set up properly. It says it supports widescreen, up to 3840 x 1600, but text is scattered and runs into itself and icons. I even went down to 1920 x 1080 and still saw the same issues.
I'm sure there are probably patches out there that I can dig around for to apply to get things to work better, and I could try a controller, instead. But, I just can't be bothered to waste the time.
Gotta say I'm disappointed. The first one was a lot of fun. Also, I just noticed that this has been removed from the Steam store. So, wasted review! LOL
