Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Review (Xbox 360)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a feature-packed game; one of those rare birds that feels like arcade gaming, but with that next-gen edge that helps to justify $400+ dollars of hardware. It has a few glitches here and there, but the core gameplay is solid and quite entertaining for those that need a little RPG in their action game, or vice-versa. Pick this one up if you favor the Marvel camp (the character selection is excellent), or are just looking for a solid co-op style adventure for you and/or your friends to play.

I've been seeing the TV add for this one and it looks surprisingly good. Maybe it can reedem all of the crappy super hero games of the past.

Alymon6766d ago

Bought this yesterday. It is fun, especially the multiplayer, but there are obvious flaws with the design. This review seems very biased in favor of the game. Things to consider:
1. Co-op over live is 1 person per system. Also, all 4 players are on 1 screen and must stay together on 1 screen, no wandering allowed. Camera angle in online co-op appears to be controlled by everyone (using the same view for everyone as well) so it could lead to some people messing with it and annoying the rest.

2. Some lag and slow down in multiplayer. Had at one point, a lag pause for nearly 15 seconds. It only happened once, and it was never enough to make us stop playing, but it is there.

3. Non-boss fights are repetitive. Boss fights are nice because they involved more than just button mashing.

Overall its a fun game if you've got a group of people to play it with and if you like the super hero genre. Lots of replayability options with this one. Nice achievements, lots of secret achievements.

BoneMagnus6766d ago

I've played through X-Men Legends and have Legends 2 sitting on my shelf unplayed (got it cheap and have been playing other games).

I love these games - a must for my games library, but they don't warrant a full price investment for me.

THE TRUTH6766d ago

Go out and buy this today! 1 player per console just sucks though, and that you can't wander off really limits the environment! Never the less um still a fan of Xmen legends 1 and 2, so um going to play this online! Anyone want to play with me (um topgamer!) my gamertag is sumtynnaztee!

fjtorres6766d ago (Edited 6766d ago )

You don't need live to play co-op...
Anybody who played the Legends games will instantly recognize it, much as Morrowind players recognize Oblivion.
Its updated with improved graphics and tweaked leveling but the gameplay is basically unchanged.
The opening movie in available on marketplace if anybody wants to watch it.
Really good.
There is also a Nightcrawler cutscene with the elf doing his stuff in style.

NextGen24Gamer6766d ago

I'll play with you when I can get my damn son off of it. I bought it today and he has been on it. Its parent teacher conference week so he is out of school. But, yeah. I will look you up and play sometime. I haven't tried it but it looks super fun. Him and his friend have been playing together on the same screen for hours now.

Amazing Games You Can't Buy Anymore

Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

Cacabunga63d ago

3D Dot Game heroes. Good luck

__y2jb63d ago

I have this. Never even realised it had become rare.

staticall63d ago

@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.

I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.

RaidenBlack63d ago

Need NOLF Remaster from Nightdive.

PRIMORDUS63d ago

NOLF 1+2 remaster for me = instant buy

Abnor_Mal64d ago

I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.

Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.

Chocoburger64d ago

Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.

Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅

NotoriousWhiz63d ago

Amazing abandoned games that you should ARRRR.

DafunkyRebel64d ago

I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed

TorpeAlex64d ago

Pour one out for Transformers Devastation

isarai63d ago

I lost my physical copy in a move, it still bothers me to this day 😅😔

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx381d ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro381d ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia381d ago (Edited 381d ago )

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B381d ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff2183381d ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh381d ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia381d ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

MasterChief3624380d ago

I thought it looked awful, but I actually fell in love with it. To this day one of my favorites on the Switch.

jukins381d ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

MasterChief3624380d ago

Yeah I'm kind of miffed about that headline. But the information in the article does give me a little hope. I really want to play these games on the PS5! I would assume if Activision actually is planning on relisting them on the Xbox Store, it would be relisting them on the PS Store as well?

Abnor_Mal381d ago

The first game was the best imo.
