Marvel's Ultimate Game
Strengths: Tons of Marvel characters; Multiple outfits; Online and offline co-op
Weakness: Slightly repetetive game mechanic
If you are a fan of the Marvel universe and hack and slash gameplay, you simply need to get this game! A ton of characters are available and they each have multiple outfits to choose from after you have unlocked them. The game has a tendency to get a bit repetitive with the button mashing, but that is to be expected with this genre. This issue is totally redeemed by the fact that you can play...

been there, played that...
Strengths: tons of characters, great fun if you haven't already played X-Men Legends
Weakness: dumb ai teammates, repetitive gameplay, graphics are nothing special , game crashes (my system only??)
If you've played X-Men Legends 1 or 2 then you've already played MUA. It's basically the same action RPG with new characters added. There's a ton of characters which is cool, but also causes a problem because you either just pick a few that you like or are constantly changing them out just to play around with the others. The character management has really been dumbed down since the legends games...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Strengths: Tons of characters, excellent graphics, fun top-down gameplay
Weakness: Expensive downloadable content
This game is so much fun. You get to play as so many characters from the Marvel Universe, and the villains are great too. The game plays from a top-down perspective and is little more than punching and kicking your way through a level (but the special moves are really excellent). Each character can be leveled up and customized to how you see fit. Overall, an excellent game. If you want to play as...

Great Comic Book game
Strengths: +Impressive cast of Marvel characters +Replay ability +Multiplayer +Authentic to the comic book +Downloadable characters +Innovative boss challenegs +Unlockable character costumes +Great story
Weakness: -Comic Book missions hard -Gold edition -Repetitive
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a comic book fans dream come true. Similar to the X-men Legends series, is a real time combat action RPG. You control a group of superheroes, up to 4, and hack/slash your way through the game. The cool part of this game is the variety of superhero powers/teams you can use. Multiplayer is great, players can be come in and out of games whenever they want. On the negative...

Finally, a Marvel game as big as the mythos itself...
Strengths: Huge line-up of characters, largely faithful to the comics, tons of extras (3 alternative forms per character).
Weakness: Repetitive action, confusing menus, a few 'what were they thinking?' moments for comic fans.
One of the best games for the XBOX 360, Marvel Ultimate Alliance manages to cram as much comic-book goodness into a single game as any has before it. If you've played the X-Men Legends games, then you know what to expect here, a huge roster of Marvel heroes with their signature powers and alternative forms to boot. Everyone from heavy hitters Thor and Spiderman as here, as well as some less than...
