You can try out countless combinations of teams, with their own unique abilities, and the gameplay is fun even on the second or third time. No other superhero game is more satisfying than Ultimate Alliance. I like that you can create your own team of four from more than 21 playable characters. I think that the future holds even better games then Marvel:Ultimate Alliance, but for now this is as good as it gets.
yes there is a boss in the end, but it just is not all that satisfying, Still there is replay value. I felt that the comic missions were ok, but not as good as the rest of the game. Each mission is a solo mission by the character in question and usually has historical significance. I usually hate scripted games, but this is different. you just seem to fight a bunch of common enemies over and over and that gets old. So each system features a slightly unique experience.
A little into the game you can either stick with the team you have or put together a team with certain combinations that have bonuses. I strongly recommend this game on any system, including the wii. Also i thought replay value was good. Some combinations are femme fatale, with all females, there is the Avengers, X-men, and Fantastic four as well. Marvel:Ultimate Alliance is a truly well designed game. There are many combinations that provide great team bonuses. Secondly there is another feature; throughout the game you can collect comic missions to play. It features many of your favorite super heroes and has a great storyline.
I thought the controls on the other systems were easier, but once i got the hang of it, the wii controls become more satisfying. Yes the game is scripted, but still very satisfying. If you pick a team that does not form a special combination then you can create your own team name and avatar and it will add a general bonus. There are at lest 40 missions to play, and you even can play using some villians. The x-men rpg was good, while the dc heroes ones like justice league were not. Replay is good for two reasons.
One thing to note each system has a slight variation of characters. Never before have we had an rpg game with superheros that is so appealing. I would check to see which system has the compliment of characters that you like the most. just common soldiers in different uniforms.
Being a mom of girls, action packed video games never made it to our home, but now since I have 2 son-in-laws and 3 grandsons, I decided to get this game for the guys. I like the fact that it is exciting and fun for all of them, and not difficult to play, easy enough for the 5 year old and challenging enough for the older guys. old husband. All I can say is they all love it, from my 5 yr. old grandson, my 2 son-in-laws 27 & 30 to my 50 yr. Great game
The game is great the motion controls are a bit tough at first but you have the option of not using them at all. Overall great game to play with others.
The graphics aren't the greatest if compared to the PS3 or 360 (but if I was concerned about the graphics, I would've gotten either of those instead), and once the controls are mastered, there is a lot of fun creating your own super hero group and sending them out to defeat the likes of Dr. Originally I bought this for the Playstation 2, but when I bought my Wii I thought, (A) it would serve as a good way to test the Wii-mote's controls on an action game, (B) it included 2 of my all-time favorite comic heroes as playable characters (Moon Knight and Colossus), and (C) it was on sale for $20.Well, the controls were pretty comfortable as far as the standard melees go, but I found it hard to execute certain types of hits (usually, the heroes performed a trip move when I wanted the standard punch and vise-versa). Doom, Mephisto, Galactus and all sorts of other super villains.So overall, it's a fun game. Some were easier than others to perform, like Captain America's Shield Throw, but once again, the exact movements aren't always triggered correctly, so at different times I would perform some other, less effective moves. Also it was pretty hard to remember how to execute certain super powers. And each hero has an ultimate Super move, which I had no idea how to perform and at times went off at random moments.But this is still a pretty cool game. I liked it because of the deep roster of heroes I can play with (If only Punisher was included, I would've had the ultimate team of street vigilantes with Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Daredevil, and Punisher)., the controls could've been tweaked a bit more to make more exact moves, but otherwise, it's not bad for a first crack on an action-oriented game.
There's some funny audio clips of the voice actors playing around as if their characters were the real voice actors. I would give the story 4-5 stars, the fun factor of playing with friends 5 stars, the voice acting 4-5 stars, and the graphics 4 stars (though I only have composite cables so I'm only getting 480i). You don't have that problem playing solo and it predictably happens less often with just 2 players. For all the people who had a problem with the controls:You can also get around shaking the controller and get to all the special moves by holding down B, then cycling through the powers with Z.
It's actually pretty easy. Maybe then they would've had a better experience.Review:I really enjoy the Marvel Universe and the story for this game was pretty engaging. You then use your selected power by holding B and hitting A. You obviously all have to go the same direction, but sometimes one of us would miss a door or the stairs and the rest would have to backtrack a bit, but it didn't happen all that often. It's not an instant classic for non-Marvel fans though so I gave it 4 stars.
There were a few quirks with having 3-4 humans playing. My sister-in-law, her husband, and I got hooked on this game. I wish a lot of the reviewers would have actually read the controller layout on the Options menu. We read the controller layout and practiced our moves in easy areas and didn't really have any controller issues. When you beat the game, stay around for the credits.
