Product Description

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is an all-new action/RPG where players create their Marvel dream team from the largest roster of Super Heroes ever in an epic quest that will determine the fate of Earth and the Marvel universe. For decades, Earth's Super Heroes have opposed evil in their own cities, and on their own terms. But now, Dr. Doom and a newly reformed Masters of Evil - the greatest collection of Super Villains ever assembled - have plans for world domination, and the heroes must band together to defeat them. Playing as some of the most revered Marvel characters, gamers will embark on a dangerous journey across exotic terrain and well-known comic book locations like Atlantis, the Shield Heli-Carrier and the Skrull home world in an attempt to defy the world's most notorious Super Villains. Created by Raven Software, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance lets players control the most powerful Super Hero alliance the world has ever known.

Over 140 Marvel characters are waiting!
For the first time ever, the world's largest army of Super Heroes is under your control. Truly become your favorite Super Heroes with the fluid Wii controllers. One of the most important implementations on the Wii is the Advanced Gesture-based Combat System which pushes the capabilities of the Wii-mote and Nunchuk controllers. Players can even chain gestures together to create very powerful attack combos. With the Wii-mote, you can swipe upwards for upper cut punches and kicks, swipe down for stun attacks, sweep left or right for trip attacks, jab forward for heavy attacks and shake for quick, light attacks. Further, attack powers are custom for each character and are mapped to the Wii-mote gestures, and the Nunchuk can be used for picking up objects, throwing, blocking, dodging/rolling as well as movement via the analog stick.

Create your Marvel dream team
Experience the full scale of the Marvel universe with a combined cast of over 140 popular comic book characters. Players create, customize and control their ultimate four-person strike team, selecting from an initial roster of 20 playable Super Heroes, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Thing, Captain America, Elektra and Thor and battle notorious Super Villains including Dr. Doom, Galactus and countless others. Ultimate Alliance offers gamers total team customization. Players can form their favorite Marvel dream team, create their own team name, team icon, team vehicle and establish a team reputation as they play through an original storyline hand crafted by renowned game developer Raven Software and Marvel's own C.B. Cebulski. Additionally, players have more control over leveling up each team member to their liking, or upgrading all team members together to keep their heroes balanced.

With new and dynamic combat capabilities, Super Heroes can now fight while airborne, on the ground, and even submerged underwater as they traverse through 17 exotic locales and play out some of the most legendary comic book battles from the Marvel universe. Players will have access to a host of fighting tactics and accessories, including melee combat moves such as grappling, blocking and quick combos, new chargeable Super Hero powers, more environmental objects that can be used as weapons, and unique one and two-handed weapons.

Indivisible, with Liberty, and Multiplayer for All
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance features a unique storyline where players not only determine the fate of Earth, but also control the fate of the Marvel universe. The missions players accept, the objectives completed, and how players interact with other characters throughout the game will have a direct impact on how the story plays out. In addition to the epic single-player storyline, players can also battle the world's most evil Super Villains alongside friends in both on and offline cooperative story modes. This robust multiplayer component also features a Competitive Mode - where the game keeps track of various in-game stats so players can see how well they stack up against one another - affecting the amount of experience points and how equipment is distributed.

Awesome Game
 
Review Date: May 8, 2007
Reviewer: Mr. Ditto,
Marvel Ultimate Alliance delivers a fun, action-packed gaming experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Some other reviews gave it a lower rating because Wolverine wasn't "realistic". LOL! This is a Super Hero game! Of course it isn't gonna be realistic. Have you seen Spider-Man scale buildings in real life?
Good game all around

Reviewer: A. Weagle, Murray, Utah United States
This game is good all away around. The controls are fine, The only part I was disapointed with was when is that there are some characters that can only be played on certain consoles ie Hulk is not playable on the wii version. Anyways has a good story, decent amount of destruction, and the choices in the game affect the story out come.
A lot of fun

Being a mom of girls, action packed video games never made it to our home, but now since I have 2 son-in-laws and 3 grandsons, I decided to get this game for the guys. All I can say is they all love it, from my 5 yr. old grandson, my 2 son-in-laws 27 & 30 to my 50 yr. old husband. I like the fact that it is exciting and fun for all of them, and not difficult to play, easy enough for the 5 year old and challenging enough for the older guys. Great game
Excellent Marvel Universe Game
 
Review Date: February 23, 2009
Reviewer: Lisa, Conway, South Carolina USA
First off, I'd like to mention that I own both the PC and the Wii versions of this game. I purchased the PC version when the game was first released and this was the first game I purchased for use with my brand new Wii. As for gameplay, I didn't find the Wii controls hard to learn and I loved having the option to either push controller buttons for attacks or use the assigned remote movements. I also found gameplay with the Wii remote and nunchuck much more comfortable; I could play for longer without my hands going crampy like they can with a traditional controller.

I really liked that the game follows the X-Men: Legends format in that if you've played either X-Men: Legends or X-Men: Legends II you already know the basics for playing Ultimate Marvel Alliance. My only real quip is playable characters. I'd really like for Rogue to be a playable character but that's just my little Wolverine/Rogue 'shipper heart wanting to play them on the same team.
For Marvel Comics' fans and everyone

Reviewer: Dave X, Caracas, Venezuela
This game is really good, you can unlock 140 Marvel Comics' characters, and fight, every character has diferent attack moves and you can combine attack with other character, for example Collossus can pick up Wolverine and throw him against enemys, is really good, fun and interesting.
Very Cool game!

Best Game Ever Created by Marvel

Reviewer: gamingfanatic, Queens NY
Marvel has had a lot of success in the video game industry, and a lot of failures too. I'm a big Marvel fan, and what I can say about this game is that it's the best damn Marvel game you're gonna play. Of course, I don't expect you to be a fan of ALL of the characters in this game. I haven't even heard of a lot of the characters in this game, especially the cheesy enemies. But you can really learn a lot about the Marvel Universe just by listening to the dialogue and learning from your mistakes in the trivia. I've learned a lot about all of the different characters after beating the game. Now I can understand the segment in Robot Chicken about the Watcher. It is VERY fun to play with more than one person, because you can team up with the computer or just stick to two/three people, or even play with FOUR people. Marvel fan or not, this game is way too awesome not to own. I can't wait for the second one, and if you're reading this when Ultimate Alliance 2 already came out, then I definitely have it!
very fun game extremly slow delivery
