Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I happen to rent this game traditionally every year for the purpose of sharing my geek experience with someone else. I know a fair amount of comic knowledge and that seems to spur my desire to play. Notice that I only "rent" this game every year; it has NEVER warranted a buy from me. Minor improvements like auto-equipping (for us lazy folks) help the game flow better, and creating a custom team is also pretty cool; but these features don't revolutionize how the game is played. Let's face it, this game really needs a breath of fresh air; something to break up the tedium of constantly crackin' skulls. The character selection is good for the most part, but I would readily trade Spider-Woman and Luke Cage for the chance to use Punisher (He doesn't even make an appearance in the game!). Overall this game repairs a few flaws but overlooks the opportunity to do something truly bold with the Marvel license. This game receives an expected 7.0 rental status; see ya again next year, old friend.
