Does not take advantage of the full potential of the PS3 Posted 26 February 2007
The graphics are really nice but the actual game is a bit boring and hard to control. The characters are small and to beat the enemies you can just keep pressing buttons until they die.
One hit wonder Posted 25 February 2007
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a great game, but only when you have some people to play with you. The cooperative mode can be fun, but I definitely prefer the arcade mode because each player is given a score afterward and this will give you bragging rights if you score higher than your friends.
However, whether or not you have friends to play with you or not, this game is ultimately a button mashing experience while looking at your favorite Marvel character do fancy moves. For ages, game developers have not put too much effort into most of the superhero games because they are franchises that sell themselves, and this game was a perfect example of it.
If you have friends that are willing to play with you, give this game a try, it will be fun at times and tedious sometimes as well.
If you don't mind playing alone, you can give this a try too... but for the most part when I was playing alone I was left with an empty experience of button mashing.
I'd say this game is rentworthy, but not worth buying unless you're a Marvel fanatic.
This is the type of game you beat once and you can't go through again, it's really a one hit wonder. You play it once, and you never touch it again... even with hard mode on the game felt the same all over.
Lots of characters, but no lots of fun. Posted 18 February 2007
This game would have been cool on Sega Genesis, but the aimless wandering and pushing buttons until the bad guy is dead got old real fast. Graphics are pretty cool, nothing amazing though. I had trouble picking out Iceman from some of the bad guys, they looked too similar. The save markers are too far apart, if you get pretty far in the level and have to stop you are screwed and forced to play all of that boring level again. I played this game a few times and couldn't take it anymore so I returned it to the video store early. Just rent it, don't bother buying it.
Button mashers rejoyce! Posted 08 February 2007
*Sigh* Someday comic-book fans will get a well-thought-out and well-controlled video game, until then, Marvel Ultimate Alliance will have to do. Good selection of playable characters, but abyssmal writing (some of the things these characters say are REAL groaners), choppy camera, and button-mashing controls ruin the fun.
Best Marvel Game Ever! Posted 08 February 2007
The World's largest army of Super Heroes is under your control. Assemble your ultimate four-member strike force from over 20 Marvel heroes. Become your favorite legends, then interact with more than 140 characters in this epic action-RPG. Since it's on PS3 though, you get HD graphics in 1080p, sixaxsis wireless controller for dynamic gameplay, and 2 extra playable heroes. Innovative Combat. Determine the fate of the Marvel universe. Online Cooperative and Competitive modes. Do you need more?
