I hate this game! I have just completed it and will NEVER play it again! I have been robbed of several hours of my life. Its the most all over the place, repetitive trash I have ever had the misfortune of playing. Now I played it on the PS3 version and this sadly sucked big time. First thing I want to address - is the PS3s horrible sucky six axis control system in this game - both PS3 and game are as guilty as one another here - this system in so many key spots of the game makes it a complete nightmare - because the controls don't work - there is a less than 50% chance of it responding or responding in time - and the number of times i messed it up and it did it anyway???? Why? Instead of giving the option to press a,b,x,y, up, down etc as you would get on xbox version - no - your stuck with this. PS3 tried to emulate the Wii and messed it up - and Ultimate Alliance using it every damn opportunity and if u fail its game over and u have to go back do it again! The Galactus level this is incredibly annoying!
The characters - they are awful - they throw a load in, and you think cool - but no - there are so many because they are mainly rubbish and you have to work through them to find ones that actually stand up in a fight! The rest are pointless and less known, some you have to earn - which is OK - and some fan favourites ie spiderman are awful! Ironman can barely do anything - get the AI to land him on the level and not on a hole would be nice! Hulk isn't even in it, nor is Punisher! Half the potential cast is made up of X-men - but i played X-men Legends already!
The graphics are bad - the cutscenes are awesome - but the game - the camera jumps about, they are so distant and when you zoom in - its pointless as can't see anything around you. Half the time you lose sight of the character you are, you can get stuck on invisible walls, or boxed in by your team mates and be stuck! The audio is annoying, same several tracks over and over! The Voice acting is rubbish - spiderman sounding like a weeny 12 yr old, the Thor guy sounding annoying! agh!!!
The story is OK - with Dr Doom taking over the world, but it goes off very random to try to explore everywhere in Marvel universe - but so many characters, costumes, points etc - you can never get enough expensive points to get everyone you need! Some levels you can't go back to! The bosses are OK - they were more fun - especially where you had to use environment against them ie the Krakken - but sadly it happens all at once and you can't get a good look about to discover what you need when your being thumped whilst still laying on floor! The boss fights are too few and far between - you think with the number of heroes in this against their sheer army of enemeies - they could appear more often!
There is no replay value - it was a cheap cash in, I will avoid the sequel! Shame as X-men Legends was good fun! Shame this went so badly wrong! This game sucks
