Well then, kiddies, heres my review of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Well, I own both X-Men Legends one and two. Both are great games.

But then I got M:UA for Christmas. Booooyy was i stoked.

I had once played some of Marvel Nemesis: I would not recommend anyone to play it unless there's no walls around with drying paint, which would be more fun.

Well, I began playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and I thought "Gee, what other game does this remind me of?"

Didn't take me long to connect the dots.

The first thing I noticed was Captain America...(AN- I HATE CAPTAIN America XD) But then, I noticed Spider-Man. I noticed that instead of flying like some people do or just doing nothing, he was able to web-swing. My instant reaction was "Frickin' sweet!" That was a definite improvement from the X-Men Legend games, where either your character could fly, double jump, or do absolute squat. Or in the second one's case, teleport.

As I played through the game, i noticed how awesome the storyline was. Kudos to the writers! It took me by surprise a few times, especially when Doom got Odin's power. And then they told me I was going to have to fight him. I agreed with Deadpool..."I want my lawyer, i want my mommy! ...i want my lawyers mommy." And then, upon beating the game, another surprise was in store for me- according to all the things I had done and hadn't done, the story and outcome of the world changed! And of course, being the good little girl I am, i had done everything possible that was good.

sometimes there were improvements needed though. Like when you have to save Lilandra. You get two minutes to destroy Deathbird's machines, AND save Lilandra. When I first saw this I thought "All right, easy enough..." ha-ha. I was wrong. I tried to save Lilandra first. But then i noticed that no matter how many powers I used, the stupid things were bloody impossible to free her! and even more helpful, I tried to call my teammates for help, but apparently Deadpool Spider-man and Iron man like to run off in the other direction when I call for help.

So, I decided to just blow up Deathbird's machines and perhaps that would save Lilandra? ha-ha. yeah right. no such luck. Right after destroying her machines with five seconds left to spare, it shows me a cut scene of Lilandra dying.

Were you in my house at the time, you would have heard me going "WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!?! ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE HER!!!!!DANG YOU MARVEL1!!!!!" Right. See I don't like to lose, and losing to Lilandra made me upset, but the fact that it was impossible to do even with the power of the Human Torch's continuous flame made me uber angry.

PS- I played the game again and after losing five times to the level, i finally freed Lilandra and defeated Deathbird. it just took a WHOLE lot of strategizing.

All in all, a pretty great game! two thumbs up! PS- sorry to all you readers who were forced to witness my insane ramblings...

Spider-Dude11 signing out!

My first thought after playing this game was it was pretty cool. But then, i noticed how when i was swingin' around New York that all the buildings(except for Trask Tower) were the same to Spider-Man 2 the movie game. Even the controls are the same! This is basically an enhancement for the Spider-Man 2 game, with better graphics, storyline, and gameplay. And mucho better villains. And the ability to play as Venom?!?!?! Never saw that coming, it was AWESOME. Wasn't expecting Wolverine to make an appearance. While some people say this game sucked, i thought it was good enough for me to write a comment on. Oh, and one more thing, unless it takes you a TERRIBLY long time to beat an easy game, or you like playing a game over and over again to getall the secrets and stuff, don't buy this game. Just rent it, beat, and take it back. It's pretty much worth the 3 bucks.
