Review of Jean Grey in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is based around the story of the Civil War comics event that took place in 2006-2007. The game itself is similar to its predecessor with the added feature of a new attack known as a fusion, which sees two heroes combining their powers to defeat an opposing enemy or threat to them.
In July 2009 Jean Grey fans were happy to hear that she was indeed playable in this installation of the series. The game developers said in an interview that they had always planned to include Jean in the game and that she was one of the characters who was favoured by a lot of the game developers.
In the game Jean possesses both her telepathic and telekinetic powers and even has access to some Phoenix powers such as resurrection. Her default outfit in the game is her Phoenix outfit and her alternate outfit is her X-men First Class costume. She is unlocked by collecting five pieces of the M’Krann Crystal throughout the course of the game. She has special conversations with her son, Cable and the Young Avenger, Patriot. In the game Jean is listed as being a crowd control character.
Overall Jean Grey really lives up to her name in this game and she is a valuable asset to any team in the game. Her telepathic and telekinetic powers are very powerful and her Phoenix powers are kept at a certain level, so fans can experience her as a superhero rather than a goddess. She has excellent fusions with other characters such as Cyclops (only playable on the PS2 and Wii platforms) and Storm. Jean Grey is really all the fans expected and more in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

Cool Jean is really fun to play as and really powerful in this game and is always on my team. She has a really good chance to be in the next MUA 3 or XML 3 so keep supporting her.
Yay! Love Jean! Can’t wait to buy this game, she’ll always be on my team! I’m always having all females in my group haha. They always seem more powerful, Femme Fatal
Yep, Jean Grey is the absolute best character to have in this game. Both her costumes are gorgeous to look at, but more importantly her attacks are powerful, she has super strength, and she can fly, which makes it a breeze to clear most levels with her taking very little damage. I loved playing this game with her on my team. Did I mention that as an in-joke to comic fans who have seen her die so many times, she is occasionally resurrected automatically if she dies while you are playing? AWESOME.
