Without Dr. Doom playable, this game sucks.

(Review From Amazon)

General Comments:
This game was an amazing game until xbox 360 got Dr. Doom as a playable character. The greatest hero in the marvel universe should be playable on all systems. Other characters are ok, but the ps3 bump over the ps2 version is mainly graphics. colossus' grab moves are amusing but who the hell cares about moon knight? If people want to play as batman they should buy a DC game rather than settle for the cheeesy marvel knock off version. Overall the game is very fun and I will modify my review to 5 stars the game would otherwise deserve if they come out with Dr. Doom as a playable.

Cool game but over priced

General Comments:
Graphics are great but motion control is bad. No one is ever online to play - which is very strange.

Buy it only on a discount.

One hit wonder

(Review From Amazon)

General Comments:
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a great game, but only when you have some people to play with you. The cooperative mode can be fun, but I definitely prefer the arcade mode because each player is given a score afterward and this will give you bragging rights if you score higher than your friends.

However, whether or not you have friends to play with you or not, this game is ultimately a button mashing experience while looking at your favorite Marvel character do fancy moves. For ages, game developers have not put too much effort into most of the superhero games because they are franchises that sell themselves, and this game was a perfect example of it.

If you have friends that are willing to play with you, give this game a try, it will be fun at times and tedious sometimes as well.
If you don't mind playing alone, you can give this a try too... but for the most part when I was playing alone I was left with an empty experience of button mashing.

I'd say this game is rentworthy, but not worth buying unless you're a Marvel fanatic.

This is the type of game you beat once and you can't go through again, it's really a one hit wonder. You play it once, and you never touch it again... even with hard mode on the game felt the same all over.

Lots of characters, but no lots of fun.

This game would have been cool on Sega Genesis, but the aimless wandering and pushing buttons until the bad guy is dead got old real fast. Graphics are pretty cool, nothing amazing though. I had trouble picking out Iceman from some of the bad guys, they looked too similar. The save markers are too far apart, if you get pretty far in the level and have to stop you are screwed and forced to play all of that boring level again. I played this game a few times and couldn't take it anymore so I returned it to the video store early. Just rent it, don't bother buying it.
