Customer Reviews of Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Great Game! One major drawback. I'm a fan of Marvel Comics and I truly love the concept and delivery of this game. The graphics are excellent, and it's also one of the first games I've ever seen in true 1080p HD (PS3 version). <
> <
>The Wii version has a few really strong points, and one very strong drawback. On the plus side, it has two characters that the PS2 version doesn't. It also has relatively great graphics. Though they aren't that of the PS3 version, or even the Xbox 360 version they are still great for what the Wii is working with, and what the gaming world is used to. I'm not much of a graphics snob though. If you are, you'll want to opt for this title on another console. <
> <
>The sound is excellent! Love the quality. The plotline is also very strong for a comic book platformer. I also think that the simplicity of the button layout for the Wii adds a certain something that the other consoles don't have. <
> <
>Along the same lines; however, the strongest drawback to the Wii version is also related to it's controller. Playing this game requires you to thrust or shake the Wiimote in various directions. The Wii has a difficult time reading the motions in the heat of battle which becomes very frustrating. For that reason, I regretably reverted back to the PS2 version to complete the game. As much as I love my Wii, and love this game, the Wiimote really complicates this one. <
> <
>I do believe, if the Wii is your only console, that this game is one of the best titles available for it, I would encourage you to play it first and make sure you can cope with the control system, before opting for the title on the Wii platform. = ) Please don't beat me too much for my opinion!
Compliments the Wii
I dont know what is up with the first reviewer...this is a great game that uses the wii's innovative controllers to its advantage....and yes, I have played and currently own Marvel Legends.
<

<
>As far as controls go: the nunchuck is used primarily for moving...the joystick moves the character you currently have selected, and by tilting the nunchuck side to side, you can adjust the camera angle. The Z button is used for blocking and the C for jumping.
<
>
<
>The remote is used for combinatation moves and superpowers. The 4 way directional pad allows you to select which of your four current characters you would like to manipulate. I personally find an additional degree of gaming difficulty in aiming precision...you have to be in control and relaxed when using the remote to aim well.
<
>
<
>Overall, the path for the games is set, however you are able to wander around as you please. The characters are represented well, although the graphics are nothing to rave about (im using the component cables for 480p resolution)...but then again, i got this game on the wii for the gaming experience...I also own a PS3 60 and opted for the wii version.

<
>All in all, its a fun game, if youre not sure, rent it.
<

<
>btw...i still believe zelda:TP is the best game for the system at the current time. I would consider Zelda to be 5 stars and the current standard to rate other games...As such, i have given ultimate alliance 4 stars.
BORING
Did you play X-Men Legends? Did you play X-Men Legends 2? Those were fun games, almost a little too much fun. If only there was a way to systematically remove everything fun from those games.
<
>First let's get rid of those popular X-men and replace them with super lame characters. Tell the Hulk to stop bothering us. Mr. Punisher go away. Are Spiderwoman and Captain America available? Let's get them in the game.
<
>In the Legends games it was fun to hit buttons to control your character. Let's get rid of that. Only by moving the Wii-mote in motions of absurd complexity will get them to do the appropriate moves. Can't figure out how to do the move? Well screw you there is no simple explanation of how to do them.
<
>Do people like stories in games with logical explanations of how these characters got together? Let's avoid that too.
<
>Do people like boxes? No, they think it is the laziest programming thing EVER?! Well then let's add some more. Hey we don't have enough boxes. Why don't we triple the number of boxes? Does no one realize we still don't have enough boxes? There should be more boxes than enemies.
<
>
<
>Honestly if you enjoy this more than either Legends you either have a serious problem or despise the X-men. This is a GIANT step backwards for Marvel games by Raven.
<
>Perhaps if there were 360 like graphics and online play it would make a difference. I bought a Wii for a new experience. This game is an obvious Gamecube game with a retarded control scheme applied to it to justify putting Wii on the box. Spend your money elsewhere.
<

<
>EDIT: Ok, so I was a bit harsh. My problem was that they took a game that worked fine (Legends 1 & 2) and broke it. The controls are the sticking point. My GC button setup was far, far simpler than the Wii scheme. Also to add insult to injury there isn't a training or simple explanation of how to do moves. Just like any other game if you can't control your characters well, you will not have fun. And perhaps like me, you will get so frustrated at the game that you will exchange it for a better one.
