I really enjoyed playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, the combat/action elements are tight, and the RPG stuff is kind of unique. Not the best camera angle in the world, but certaintly the very best looking overhead RPG of all time.

This game is outrageously fun, but some of the characters are unbalanced, for example, Deadpool is invincible. As in, unless you accidentally leap off a ledge (made even more difficult, because he can teleport), you will never die. Meanwhile colossus (who is made of steel) is fairly easy to kill. Other than a few small things of this nature, the game is absolutely fantastic.

I think this game is fantastic. At first I thought it was just like previous games (X-Men Legends, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance), but as I leveled up a few characters I discovered the combat is much, much more varied and interesting. In addition to all the powers and combo moves, you can grapple for weapons (fighting to pull them from an opponent's grasp), throwing enemies over ledges (or getting thrown yourself - ack!), smashing enemies into environmental objects, etc. Lots of unlockables (art, costumes, moves, cinematics, missions, achievements...), plus you can experiment with playing lots of different heroes. I think they did a great job of bringing all the comic book heroes and villains to life. Fine, it's not Gears of War, but it's fun and entertaining and well-executed. I expect to play it through several times, and that's even before considering the multiplayer/co-op aspect. Plenty of challenge, plenty of replayability, and most importantly, plenty of fun.… Expand

From a gamer who has played X-Men legends and X-men legends 2, when I first put this game in my console I was uninspired at best. After playing the first couple levels I was hooked. This game has so many different aspects that keep the game interesting. For example: 1)You cannot play the hard setting until you complete normal 2) A vast array of characters with different moves 3) Pickups along the way which allow you to unlock characters 4) The achievements make the game that much better If you play this game with 3 of your friends it makes the game extremely challenging and thus really exciting because the computer controlled AI does not really lose all that much of their health during gameplay.… Expand

Fun button masher that gets even better when your friends join. The game is meant to be an enjoyable romp more than an in-depth strategic fight system, but Marvel keeps gameplay between characters admirably unique. Iceman, for example, is definitely a ranged combatant, while the perpetually awesome Wolverine gets up close and personal. Possibilities for interesting synergy between characters exists--for example, Iceman's freeze rays allow for an instant kill on foes who receive a critical hit. Mr. Fantastic can use oversized fists to score a high critical hit rate. Put those two together and have some fun. Seasoned gamers will quickly discern exploitable powers & characters, but the game is still a blast. Have fun!… Expand

This game is very fun, very addicting, and very complete for any fan of the Marvel Universe. There are notable omissions from the game (Hulk, Punisher, etc..) but those are only because of contracts with other Developers. With 140+ characters used in the game, they are hardly missed. I only wish that Hawkeye wasn't a PSP exclusive to use on the 360. Fun single player mode, even more fun cooperating or competing against your friends!… Expand

A very well thought our game that brings these characters out from the movies and into my living room.

Giving it a 10 to offset the low scores. This is a great game. If you love Marvel comics then you should own this game. The story does a great job of incorporating many characters and storylines. The character level ups and powers are all well done too. Also for fans of Xmen legends. Not the greatest in graphical terms but an amazingly fun game. Coop takes it to the next level.
