Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wii)

Top Reviews
  well-made & accessible action RPG
Review created: 11/23/06
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

The tacked-on motion controls and lack of online support take some of the shine off this otherwise dependable superhero adventure.

The Good: Huge, eclectic cast of Marvel heroes and villains; deep, yet largely optional character-customization system; great variety of environments.

The Bad: Wii controls feel clumsy and tiresome; graphics suffer from indistinct textures, nasty aliasing; only console version without online multiplayer.

Your starting lineup in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance consists of Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, and Wolverine, but after a few levels playing with these heroes, you're given the option to create your own custom team. At first you'll have about 18 different heroes to choose from, and they represent a good cross-section of high-profile heroes and more obscure fan favorites. Old-schoolers like the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and several X-Men are there, as are a number of heroes who are likely unknown to those who don't keep up with comics, such as Moon Knight, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, and Deadpool. As you progress you'll run into other heroes such as Blade, Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, and the Silver Surfer, who will in turn join the cause. Part of the fun of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is the sheer variety of places the game takes you. While the X-Men Legends games seemed stuck mostly in dungeonlike corridors and sewers and such, here you'll visit some of the most spectacular and mythical locations in the Marvel Universe, including Mephisto's Realm, Asgard, Mandarin's palace, the Skrull homeworld, and, finally, Dr. Doom's sinister Latverian castle. Many of the environments really do look as if they came straight out of a comic book.

If you can get past the clumsy controls, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a well-made and accessible action RPG. It captures the essence of the Marvel universe, an incredible feat considering the breadth of the source material, though there are just enough omissions to easily justify a sequel. Still, its control problems are fundamental, and they definitely get in the way of what is otherwise a really solid experience.

My son loves this game. He is not usually very good at video games and this one he picked up on right away and has played it nonstop since. He loves how you can be so many different characters. My other son who is a video whiz kid really likes it too, so for the money I paid, it was well worth it.

  Marvel Ultimate Alliance a great game
Review created: 03/29/08
by:

I don't play tons of games but this game is a blast. In single player mode you're able to lead a team of heroes on various missions, some following the plot and some side missions. You can also play with 4 players which would be a riot. My brother and I played and had a great time. When you play two players you can chose arcade style or team mode.

So far I've completed about 3-4 missions and I'm loving every minute of it.

Con: The only con I can think of is that there aren't enough opportunities to save your current position in the game. However, as I mentioned above, I don't play a lot of games and I'm still pretty new to the Wii so this may be the case with all games.

If you're a fan of Marvel or super heroes I highly recommend this game!

  Wow! Check this out!
Review created: 01/25/08

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link http:

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

  A Marvel Comic fan's wish
Review created: 10/04/07
by:

This game is really a lot of fun. Using Marvel characters allowed by the game, the player constructs a team and battles the Masters of Evil, a band of Marvel super-villains plotting to take over existence. While the title and format of the game apply to the Marvel Ultinmate universe, the game allows the player to select different costumes for the characters as they are fiting in the game play mode. The game sequences (some of which are truly spectacular) are all done with the Ultimate editions of the characters. All around, though, the game play is fun and the usage of the characters would be any comic fan's dream. Unfortunately, the game does allow only certain characters, so the player doesn't have infinite choices, but I figure this is only a minor drawback. Admittely, I'm already a comic fan, but I found this game thoroughly enjoyable.

What can you really say when you can pick and choose your favorite super heroes to save the world from destruction and one man's plot toward world domination. It is an all out fight with the best of the marvel universe facing off. I have yet to find right balance of heroes and abilities. But it has been fun discovering the weakness in my team.

  Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the Nintendo Wii

Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the Nintendo Wii


I am a huge Marvel fan. I have collected comics in the past
and I have watched most cartoon TV shows and movies. I have
also played many Marvel games. I picked up Marvel Ultimate
Alliance for the Wii on a week long rental and I had fun with
it.

First of all you get an interesting way of controlling the
characters. You need the Wii remote and a nunchuk in order
to play the game. Before they cut you loose on the game you
go through a quick training mode to teach you how to control
and fight with the characters. So the Wii motion remote is
well used in this game.

YOu start off playing Captain America, Wolverine, Spiderman,
and Thor as you rush to defend a SHIELD carrier and Nick Fury
from an attack by Dr. Doom and his super villian group.

The game play is almost like a top down scroller. You control
a 4 person team and you can change your player by using the +
among the 4. As you progress through the game you get access
to different heroes. You can change heroes and save your game
through different access points on a level. You can also play
4 people in the game at a time, which is really fun!

When you pick different heroes you can create teams to gain
bonus'. For example if you pick the 4 members of the Fantastic
Four and play them you get a Fantastic Four bonus. Same goes
for X-Men, Avengers and such forth.

I noticed that a number of interesting background knowledge is
bantered around in the game. If you are a huge Marvel fan you
will get the background jokes and information that is tossed
around (Mr. StarK, the two young ladies are still waiting for you
in the lobby). This is a nice touch for Marvel fans but if you
are not a fan you do not miss much.

Overall I wish I could have spent more time playing the game
then I did. I only had the game for a week rental and I finished
the first couple of levels.

Enjoyed:

The background knowledge passed around from the Marvel Universe
The selection of heroes to play, and the ability to unlock extra
heroes.
The feel of the game (was like being in the comics)

Dislikes:

Bad camera angles at times (but you can roll the nunchuk to change them).
Poor Graphics at times.
Repetitive fighting styles. Swing remote, hit b progress.


Overall.

I liked this game. I'd give it a 4/5 as it tended to keep my
interest a lot more then other games I have played for the Wii
so far.

Great Game for boys, the multiplayer option will keep your kids enthralled for hours. And you can have them save at different checkpoint areas so that they don't get couch burn. Also as you move further into the game, you get to unlock more and more superhero's. So far, its like the game is never-ending. You'll never grow tired of this investment for your Wii

The game is great. I bought it for my son. It's hard to go wrong getting these games off ebay. I've never had a problem with them. It's less expensive to buy. If you're selling, you can certainly get more money for them than trading them in at the store. This particular game is a lot of fun. My son and I both play it. Very entertaining for all ages.

Review created: 04/03/07

This game is a must have for all Nintendo Wii players! It's easy to learn and so much fun! I bought it for my husband as a present and now I love to play it too! I love all of the characters you can pick! They also all have really neat powers that you can upgradeas the game goes along, as well as be able to change outfits to fit the powers that you want. There's really no down side to this game. Buy it and you won't be disappointed!

I was excited to play Marvel's new game and on the Wii! It would be a better game to just push buttons than incorporate the wii's marvelous features. Which will be a strugle for some game makers. Those who loved xmen legends, will love this game, but those who have never played either might struggle to get into it.
