Marvel ultimate alliance review game informer

The Games on Demand version supports English and Italian. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance lets players create their ultimate team from the largest superhero alliance ever as they engage in an epic quest to determine the fate of the Marvel universe.

Players can control their own completely unique team by selecting from the largest roster of legendary superheroes ever assembled in one game. Through the epic campaign, the heroes will battle, team-up, and interact with over characters from the Marvel universe and ultimately confront notorious villains. The Steam reviews are filled with frustration. Even many of the currently 14 positive comments express reservations. I recommend this game, but do so with a heavy heart.

If I could give it a more medium judgement, I would. That said, the game is just as great as I remembered. This port most definitely has some control issues. The first half hour of owning this game was spent messing with and tweaking the custon kbm controls.

It is a sin that you cannot change any aspect of using a controller and that half of the inputs don't work anyway. But if you can look past all of those problems and put on a nice pair of rose tinted nostalgia glasses, this game is great. Sooo yeah, the game looks great still, holds up well. I am giving it the thumbs up becuase there will be a lot of fun to be had As most others have said already, the controls are waaaaaaay screwed up.

The negative user reviews are far more damning. Many users have requested refunds because the controls simply do not work. Games buggy as all hell. Avoid until fixed, refund has been requested. Ten years since it was released and no one thought to play-test the thing when they brought it back to life?? This is absolutely shameful, first time in many years of using Steam that I'm going to have to look into a refund.. Other than that it was great. I usually only play sports games but got a used copy for Christmas.

Its fun for co-op and single player. It can get repetitive as a I usually only play sports games but got a used copy for Christmas. It can get repetitive as a beat-em-up type of game where you are just constantly smashing bad guys buts its fun anyways. Lots of characters to choose from. If you are expecting a more cerebral game you will probably be disappointed.

You could compare the gameplay with Diablo but more focused on action and focused on co-op, you can play with up to 4 players. That's the way You could compare the gameplay with Diablo but more focused on action and focused on co-op, you can play with up to 4 players. That's the way to go really, alone this will be a bore. I liked playing with all the superheroes a lot, seeing all there different abilities and such. Good game if you like Marvel. I first played this on PS2, and I liked it a lot.

It had a cool storyline, and the graphics were good. This game blows! The cameras are really confusing and the playability is very poor. Play Video.

I guess there is only one God. That said, I liked the powers I used. Spider-Miles has a lot of electrified web attacks that set him apart from Peter, and Gwen has a fun move that allows her to swing a giant wrecking ball of webbing at enemies.

Miller : That path to improvement is one of the other things that really excites me in the game. With this many characters, I feel like you could invest a lot of time leveling all the character on your account. There are multiple ways that players progress both their individual heroes and their broader alliance.

For instance, if you as a group of players really like to spam power usage, then perhaps early on you invest in greater energy to fuel more powers, but at the expense of other capabilities. It was hard to get a complete picture of that in just a few hours of play, but I like the idea conceptually.

One piece might add a shock attribute to your attack, while another changes the way HP orbs drop. To your point about making one Thor different from another, I think that will be one of the big places that you might be able to distinguish your characters from one another.

A lot of leveling happens during a natural playthrough of the campaign, but the game also includes this whole other play mode called Infinity Trials, which is where I suspect a lot of players will invest time if they want to really enhance their team.

Do you want to talk about your experience with that system a little bit? Reeves : Sure, you spend a lot of time on the Infinity Trials in the cover story, so people should go check that out if they want more details, but in short: It seems like a good way for some players to get more content out of the game. For example, one of the Infinity Trials we played had us trying to defeat a certain number of enemies under a time limit, and we gained more time with each defeated enemy.

Miller : Yeah, the Trials can be pretty challenging. The game may motivate me to get a second or third pro controller for my Switch. Reeves : I love having multiple co-op options in any game. I could definitely see playing with a bunch of friends online. Regardless of how you play, at the end of the day, I think fans know what they can expect from this game. The game also has a super bright and inviting color palette and art style, which I enjoy, and I think it will also be attractive to many young players.
