Playing those games is extremely boring because no matter what you do it's impossible to die, and there is also no variety or challenge. Nothing is at stake. At least that's what I experienced while playing Ultimate Alliance 2 at a friend's house.
After 5 minutes it just descends into button mashing while you talk about something else. There was no challenge, and barely anything that required co-operative play or thinking.
Yet, we keep going. If being a superhero is that boring, fuck that.
Just felt like the entire attraction was unlocking characters and such. Sort of like "Marvel porn", in which the entire point of the game is being different characters and watching cut scenes. I guess that Civil War adaptation was cool, but I could youtube it. The gameplay almost becomes secondary and laborious in getting to "the goodies."
Maybe different combos is exciting? I didn't really care since you're going to kill everyone in the room and move onto the next room full of easy enemies regardless of what moves you do.
Really kind of hated it. If I wanted to play such a linear button mashing experience, I would fire up X-Men Arcade from 1992. That's the good stuff.
Also, they may very well be the best Marvel games of the past 6 years, but I hardly think that means they're very good. Unfortunately Marvel games are usually pretty bad, and 6 years is hardly anything. 2004? That seems like yesterday when it comes to Marvel games.
I agreed with Funky that I'd give Part 1 a try though. He promised me that it wasn't nearly as boring.
