True Belivers! You will love this...Jan 26, 2007
By Brian C. Mcnally
"Brian McNally"
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a great game for the pure fun of engaging in the imagination space of being Captain America, Thor, or any of the other 20+ characters included with your version of the game. Being a long time comic book reader since the 70's it was quite a trip to engage in all the various corners of the Marvel Universe including the home of the Inhumans, The Skrulls. and so many other aspects of the mind of Stan "the man" Lee. I also enjoyed the flexability of crossing between the various incarnations of the classic, ultimate and other graphic versions of the characters. Being able to play on the Thor's persona's "Beta Ray Bill" was wonderuful. I reccomend this for anyone who is a true believer! Excelsior! Thanks to activison and Stan Lee for this wonderful world!

Tons of FunJun 28, 2009
By Mr. Jones

My boys are 6 and 4. The 3 of us play together and we just have a blast. There are so many characters to choose from, so many moves that each can do. You can master one character and then still have 19 others you haven't touched.
As you play each character builds strength, and earns or unlocks more moves. So you want to play them all to earn what they can do.
We play it for nearly an hour every day we have so much fun with it. We have been playing for months and it is still fun. Best game we have played yet. There isn't any blood or gore that would prevent me from allowing my children to play.

Absolutely brilliant for Marvel ManiacsJun 16, 2009
By F. Tanvir
"<<MasterMind>>"
This is definitely one of the greatest games i have ever played. But...the key thing i would like to note is that i played this game entirely with some cousins and friends. And when i played it myself...i would definitely say that it is lots of fun when playing with others because of the combos you can do together...a.i. is always off. It has a great range of characters to play with and has a phenomenal lasting plot/story. I played it several of times with many different characters and never got tired because of the seemingly endless array of possibilities with buying upgrades and abilities of the different characters. Buy this game if you are a Marvel maniac or if you want a game similar to Xmen legends 1/2, or want to know how the first game was before the second one came out. I can't wait for the second Ultimate alliance to come out this September, but until then I will remain a true Marvel maniac and replay this game in its entirety.

MARVEL IN A BOXDec 11, 2007
By Frank Natera PURE AND SIMPLE FUN! I had this game for the PC and I'm even thinking about getting a PSP Marvel Ultimate Allianceversion of it. It is THAT good. I'm a MARVEL fan but i'm also an avid gamer and when you get a chance to play as ANY of more than 20 super-heroes , each one with his/her own set of Powers AND many unlockable outfits...you just have to add this to your collection. And as you play along with friends you know that this game is going to be remembered for giving you a sense of exitement you never felt ever again since you and your big brother were kids playing with action figures.
This game is a must-have for any MARVEL fan. Pure and simple.

Why would you NOT buy it???Jun 29, 2007
First off, I'd like to compliment the amount of heroes you can play as, here is a list (for regular, not gold edition): Ms.Marvel, Dr.Strange, Silver Surfer(yes, THE silver surfer), Dare Devil(my favorite), Elektra, Mr.Fantastic, Invisibe woman, Thing, The Human Torch, Thor, Deadpool, Wolverine, Storm, Iceman, Black Panther, Luke Cage(the SWEET CHRISTMAS guy), spider-man, spider-WOMAN, Nick Fury(leader of S.H.E.I.L.D.), Blade, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, and Captain America.Sadly, you cannot be my favorite hero of all time, Nightcrawler(you find out why in Mephiso's realm), One of the other cool features is that when you have certain combonations of people, you can moke teams, like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-men, and things like "Dark Past". Also, each hero has unuiqe powers, it's not the same hero in a different costume *coughjusticeleageheroescough*.Another really cool thing if you've played "X-Men Legends" (which I think is like a prototype of "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance"), you alternate through differant bases, like "Stark Tower", "Attilan", and "Asgard", unlike Legends where your base is always "X Academy". But, if your going to get this game, look for the gold edition, in that one you can be all these people, plus Cycloops, the Hulk, and Venom, plus more. But if you can't find Gold, don't be hesitant to by the origonal, it's still THE BEST(not ONE of the best) super hero game, I've ever played, actually, THE best game I've ever played!!!
