DESCRIPTION
Air out the tights, slip on the mask, don the cape, and prepare to flex some muscles in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, an action role-playing game featuring the largest cast of costumed crusaders and mutant messiahs in a video game to date. Twenty Marvel superheroes have joined forces to combat the diabolical Dr. Doom and his Masters of Evil. The action will take players to Atlantis, the Skrull home world, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-Carrier, and more as they guide a four-person party through 17 comic book-inspired locales. Moves include a flurry of air and ground strikes, from grapples and blocks to chargeable powers and deadly combos. Objects within the environment can also cause damage, and a choice of one- and two-handed weapons can help less extraordinary heroes mete out justice against throngs of enemies. Both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions add a number of visual enhancements to the action, including dynamic lighting effects, articulated body parts, and more.
As players decide on which heroes to enlist in their super group, including such iconic characters as Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Thing, Captain America, Elektra, and Thor, they can customize their team's name, icon, and vehicle. The party's reputation will increase over time through heroic deeds and by successfully completing mission objectives, allowing players the opportunity to further enhance the team's or a specific character's attributes. The cast includes more than 140 comic book characters in total, many of which are available in the single-player storyline and can be unlocked for multiplayer action. The latter supports both cooperative and competitive battles, with in-game statistics tracked for each team as players earn experience points and receive powerful new equipment. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance also features unlockable bonus content, such as alternate costumes that modify a character's base statistics in the areas of defense, melee damage, and so forth. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“A good game for any comic book fan. Some annoying grindy bits but the characters are true to their comic nature and so is the story.”

“Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a good game that is unfortunately bogged down with a ton of glitches. The graphics are dated and the story is probably the most awful thing that I had to sit through. The achievements are crap, and I can't imagine a non-fan of the genre even giving this a second glace. Where the game shines is in its gameplay. The game is addicting and can easily occupy the best part of a day simply because it is so fun to play. Most of the favorite Marvel superheroes are on the roster, and a custom team can be created. The team bonuses depend of the custom team, but there are lists online.
Ultimate Alliance is a fun time wrapped in an ugly presentation. Still I consider this game to be a stock for any gamer that likes RPGs.”

“An extremely average game, even if you're very much into Marvel. It's the standard formula action game, where the player button bashes their way through rooms of enemies until the game reaches it's end. There's elements of RPG type game play in there, allowing the player to customize the way their heroes level up and gain new movies, but it make very little difference to how the game is played.”

“This was a fun ride playing through for the story. A second run through I did for achievements was more challenging but not as fun. I will need to find co-op players to have fun with a last run through.”
