Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The newest entry in the lneup of quality Xbox 360 games is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. In this game, you command a team of superheroes to try and thwart Dr. Doom's evil plans....that's how it always starts, huh?

Where Ultmiate Alliance succeeds is in its presentation and customization options. The game plays very much like X-Men Legends for the most part. The top-down camera view with the many RPG elements are very similar....except Ultimate Alliance is much sharper than the Legends games ever were.

The graphics on the 360 version are top notch. Everyone is well-detailed, the environments are well thought out, and the game runs very fluidly. On some forums, people have complained of slowdown and glitches, but I have noticed none at all.

Gameplay wise, it's very Baldurs Gate-like....collect items, coins, and orbs (to gain health and such), beat up and bad guys you come across, use your special powers, complete a puzzle here and there. It's very straightforward. But where UA really succeeds is in the character and customization department. You can choose from over 20 characters to form a party of four. All the well-knowns are here (Spidey, Captain America, Wolverine) and even the lesser-knowns (Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage), which is really nice for Marvel fans. You can customize your characters abilities to your liking, while finding the party that best suits you.

There are plenty of missions to tackle in the game and bonus character missions where you can gain extra rewards and achievements. There is a lot to do in this game, and a lot of options....and playing online with (or against) your buddies is definitely a welcome addition...they can hop in or out of your game at any time.

All in all, a very good entry into the Xbox 360 line-up, and easily one of my favorite games this year.
