 Ultimate Alliance November 29, 2008
D. Morris (PHX, AZ USA)
Pros-
1. Many Characters to choose from
2. Exciting gameplay
3. Upgradable skills
Cons-
1. Tiresome gameplay
2. Short campaign
3. Glitches with character downloads. How can you be Doctor Doom and fight against Dr. Doom at the same time?
Overall-
Buy this game if you enjoyed X-men Legends. Pretty much the exact same.
 Lots of fun July 26, 2008

I'm not a hardcore gamer but when I got the XBox 360 for my husband as a birthday/anniversary/Christmas gift I became interested in trying a few games. Ultimate Alliance came free with the XBox. After I saw my husband play it, I decided to try it. I liked the fact that you have several characters on your team & can change them out as needed. I had always enjoyed watching the X-Men animated series, as a kid, as well as several other Superhero shows. This game reignited my interest in them & I have started watching their re-runs on TV.
The game's animations are very good & the story line is interesting & entertaining. The game isn't hard to get the hang of & moves at a good pace. My husband is constantly on the Xbox, now, so I rarely get the chance to play. I'm seriously thinking about getting the PC version, so I can play whenever I want.
best rpg I ever played May 31, 2008

First off, the storyline is awesome. Not like some games where you go on missions and start hammering away. For instance on the first mission the baddies attack it as a diversion so they can blow a different joint. Moving on,the attacks for the characters are absolutely fab I like the level up system it is great. The punchlines are not horrid like Spider Man FOF yet they are not overly long and dreary. The bad news is the ultimate mastermind ( Docter Doom) is to easy even on hard difficulty!! Also the Silver Surfer is too hard to unlock. The graphics are great. The bad points are worth it because everything else is lovely.
Definatley a fun game. May 25, 2008

This game is very fun and entertaining, all the while presenting you with new challenges throughout the game. If you enjoyed X-men legends on the other consoles, then you will like this game. The only difference is this game is very easy and that one wasn't. The graphics are nice and are different than most of the games you will play, has a cartoony feel to it. The story is pretty simple and easy to follow. The game also has nice legnth, lasting an easy 12 hours of gameplay. It begins to grow tiresome towards the end though. To me it would have been better if the missions were longer and there were less of them.
THIS IS NOT HALO 3, GEARS, or any of the other major platformers. This game isn't in that league but is certainly worth checking out. It came free with my X-box 360, so I was pleasently suprised. The other game Forza Motorsport is also not that bad. Its awesome getting free stuff I might add. All in all, if your a fan of the series like I am or just enjoy team based games, then this game I would reccomend.
Overall 7.5-8.0
Marvel-ous! April 28, 2008

I'm on my 3rd playthrough, and not just because I want all of the achievements for Xbox Live. I played the first time with the original Fantastic Four and the second time with the New Fantastic Four. This time, I'm using an all female power squad consisting of Storm, Invisible Woman, Storm and Ms Marvel. Since I unlocked all of the costumes in the first play, and since all unlocked items carry over, and also since playing the Hard mode allows you to start with whomever you wish in whatever costumes you wish with whatever powers and items you had at the end of Normal mode, I'm well set for play three. Even playing three times is not really repetitive because things change with the difficulty level you choose. One tip, you cannot go from Easy to Hard without playing Normal. I found that out the hard way, though it is logical to think that is the way it is. I've heard there are differences in Hard vs Normal, I'm looking forward to finding out. Judging by the first boss, who was a cakewalk before and this time KO'd half my team, I'm going to need to adjust my strategy this time around.
