Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I heard this game was released either today or a very short time ago, and it isn't released in the UK until Nov. 3 so i was wondering what everyone who has the game thinks about it.

I have already picked my team: Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine and possibly The Human Torch or The Thing.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-24-2006, 04:30 PM

Right now, without playing it at all, I think I'm gonna go for Iceman, Spidey, Thor and Nightcrawler. Maybe Ghost Rider in there somewhere. This is a game I intend on getting for X-Mas/Brithday with the Wi, assuming it's reviews are favorable. Also, I'm not really looking forward to fighting myself, but I'm glad Doom is featured prominently.

Game looks pretty janky from what I've seen. Also, you probably won't start with those prefered heroes off the bat. You have to unlock most of them. It was supposed to release today, but I haven't seen it. Suprisingly there aren't any reviews up either. Maybe later tonight.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-24-2006, 06:24 PM

Yeah, I gather you'll start out with Cap, Spidey, Wolvie and Thor from the trailers I've seen.

Jo269976 · 10-27-2006, 05:10 PM

...I'm not complaining about those choices

I cannot find this game anywhere!

It's sold out everywhere I went today... I shall try Target tomorrow.

Peanut · 10-28-2006, 07:53 PM

You should come to Canada. Everywhere is stocked full of it. My friend at EB said in the last two days they've only sold 2 copies. Both for 360.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-28-2006, 07:54 PM

The 360 version got an 8.3 from Gamespot, and the PS2 version is getting pretty good marks all around from various sites.

Here's an interesting shot I found

As you can see, there really is quiet an extensive lineup of OOH MY GOD IT'S DEADPOOL! YES!

The Clerk · 10-28-2006, 08:24 PM

this game looks amazing....

i want it!!!!

Jo269976 · 10-28-2006, 09:00 PM

I have to wait until friday

Oh well, at least i can prepare myself for an all-night gaming sesion... my fingers will be sore on saturday.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-29-2006, 12:22 AM

I'm not gonna be getting it until christams, I assume. As of now, my plan is to get it for Wii, but obviously if the controls present a problem it'll have to default elsewhere.

*Spitfire* · 10-29-2006, 01:13 AM

After playing Marvel nemesis and the fun of multiplayer with friends wore off I figured this game would suck too. But if it's getting some decent marks I might check it out.

**Barkworm** · 10-29-2006, 01:27 AM

Isn't Marvel Nemesis from a completely different studio?

*Dr. Doom* · 10-29-2006, 03:39 AM

Why yes, yes it was. Nemesis was EA and Nihilistic. This is Activision and Raven Software.

*Spitfire* · 10-29-2006, 04:08 AM

Oh I thought the same people made it. Good to hear then.
