 good game overall April 20, 2008
Found this gsame very enjoyable. Interesting trying different character on the same level.
I would recommend this game.
 Great game March 25, 2008
Me and my two 5 year olds played this game and had a blast (using Multi-tap /player from GameStop). It was easy enough for them to play but needed an adult to help them neg. the more complex parts of the game. I grew up on Atari so this was a blast. We have several multi-player games and this was by far the most fun. Highly recommended for many hours of fun.
 X-Men Legends Redux September 28, 2007
To put it simply, if you've played "X-Men Legends" or "X-Men Legends 2" then you've pretty much already played "Marvel Ultimate Alliance." It's by the same companies, has the same feel, and the same controls. But instead of just the X-Men you get most of the Marvel heroes from the iconic ones like Spider-Man or Captain America to the lesser known like Deadpool and Luke Cage. Unfortunately unless you buy the XBox 360 Gold edition you don't get the Hulk, which is enough to make me turn green--were that possible. And except for Doctor Doom you're pretty much taking on the lesser villains of the Marvel universe--Magneto being added to the aforementioned Gold Edition.
Like X-Men Legends you get your pick from too many characters really. Unless you're a fan of Luke Cage is there ever a need to take him instead of Wolverine or Ghost Rider or someone like that? Probably not. Because I'm only a casual fan I stuck mostly with the ones I knew like Spidey, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America and I got through the game all right. There are team bonuses if you take certain groupings like all female characters or the Fantastic Four or the New Avengers, but still it might be nice if there were some built-in reason to take some of the more obscure characters.
But anyway, this plays like one of those epic crossover story lines with the heroes getting together at some threat, remaining consistently a step behind as Doctor Doom plots to take over the world--with a little help from his friends. Then of course he does his Dr. Evil impression by toying with the good guys when he could easily destroy them. In the meantime you get to go everywhere from China to Asgard to deep space to tangle with Galactus--who will be starring in the inevitable sequel, where most likely you have to unite with the villains to destroy him--and finally a very creepy level in Doom's castle. Like the X-Men game, the final confrontation was a little disappointing when compared to some of the earlier boss tussles.
Now if you haven't played "X-Men Legends" or its sequel then all this will be new to you. Get used to running around asking moronic questions to various characters--why would Thor need to ask about Asgard or Captain America about Super Serum?--and beating up hordes of bad guy goons as you try to unravel Doom's plot. And then of course it gives you bonus optional missions to achieve on your spare time; if you think those aren't important, just wait until the end of the game.
What I do respect about this game is that the controls are very easy to master. No long strings of buttons to push most of the time, unlike fighting games. The camera angles get a little confusing at times, especially fighting a giant like Galactus or the Frost Giant leader. And sometimes your allies end up standing around while you're getting beat up. It's not perfect, but it is pretty fun, especially if you haven't played the X-Men games.
That is all.
PS - after you beat the game (it isn't THAT hard) be sure to listen all the way through the credits not just for the voiceover gags but a little snippet at the end that ties up the Weasel/Black Widow subplot.
"Amazing and Fantastic" September 10, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my second review for this game.For some unknown it never appear, maybe because I gave it only one star when most people gave a four or five, so I think Amazon or the editor or whoever is in charge never publish it. But the truth is undeniable. The game still sucks hard time. It's lame and boring. At least I'm glad I rented this atrocity before buying it.It was not worth the four dollars I spent renting it.
Best Marvel Comics Game Ever August 18, 2007
This game has it all. Every character has unique moves that add to the feel that you are watching a top rate Marvel Comic unfold before your eyes. The story is unique and has enough twists and mysteries to keep the story interesting and game play addicting. A must have for any Marvel Comics fan.
