I think they did a great job balancing things for non-comic fans and hardcore comic fans. They give brief history lessons of the heros for non-fans like myself, those are pretty interesting to hear. But at the same time they have these relatively unknown people all over the place to make the hardcore people happy. Well done, now if we could get a game with about 4 or 5 times as many playable characters, I think everybody would be happy.

Agreed. I like how you get mentions of Heather, Bambi, and Happy Hogan and a practical joke on Ben by Johnny over the P.A. at Stark towers. Also, in Starks lab, is that Morely and Cly walking around?

Wait until you can control the flight of the sheild, that takes some getting used to, but it is a blast when you get it down. THere are so many great special powers, I don't see how I am going to keep from going through this game more than once. Spider-Man's web-grab then spin them around is probably my favorite so far. And seeing the Human Torch light up the room with his fire moves is pretty great.

I still haven't beaten one of the Training Simulations yet, I've tried CA, Iron Man and The Thing. I've picked up Dr. Strange's but have yet to attempt it.

I really enjoy how there are a lot of RPG things to do in between the missions while at your base. It can get a little monotonous if you are in a hurry but have to run and ask somebody something then give the answer to somebody else, but it really does bring in more of an RPG feel during those off times. And you get to pick up some extra side-mission opportunities.

Man, you said a mouthful when you mentioned the Human Torch. It amazed the heck out of me when I saw him fly for the first time that he actually has fume trail from his flames! Man you want to talk about being a geek, everytime I press y to get Johny to fly I say "flame on!" since he doesn't say it himself...I know, I have issues.

Yeah, when I first heard the joke that johny says about Ben I started crackin up. That was a nice touch. I cannot wait to use the Silver Surfer (one of my alltime favorites, he and Johny Blaze) to wield the power cosmic! Man I remember sitting in high school and reading Ghost Ryder by having the comic book inside my history book to make it look like I was reading the history book. How many of yall have done that?

Johnny Storm = Human Torch

Johnny Blaze = Ghost Ryder...or Method Man, depending on who you ask.

Who do you guys think has the best flight? I gotta go with Thor. He holds the hammer out in front of him...too cool.

Icemans slide is nice too.

I know Johny Blaze and method man is no Johny Blaze. In regards to flight, I have to go with the torch. I use him even though he may not be the most useful choice in certain situations, just watch him fly around. I also like the fact that he can attack from the flying position. Whoever designed this game had us geeks in mind. I am grateful.

My fault KDRE, that was kind of an unclear statement. Hmcoy cleaned it up for me.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I'm surprised at how much I enjoy using Mr. Fantastic. His propellor attack is hilarious. I also noticed in a close up while using Silver Surfer little black balls being emitted while using his energy blast, much like what is sometimes drawn in the comic. And how about Captain America tossing his shield and it ricocheting from enemy to enemy? Fun stuff. This is one of the funnest games I have played in a while.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

My favorite comic book character is Spiderman, how is he in the game? Also, is this game worth the $59 if i'm not a huge hardcore comic geek (I was when I was a teenager but haven't really been since I quit reading the comics back then)? I did love games like Diablo and the like, of which i've read it compared to in reviews.

Spidey has the acrobatic skillz just as he does in the comic books. He also has his spidey sense and the web swing. I have used him briefly but he is also very fun to play with.

ODogg,

I never been a comic book reader and I think this game is crack for the 360. Unbelievably fun and entertaining, on and offline

Spiderman is great. I love playing with him. He has tons of different moves and they are all great. My favorite is his xtreme and the special. Won't tell you what they are as I don't want to ruin it but I'll tell you this, you'll enjoy them a lot. After me and my buddies finish normal I was going to switch to DeadPool on hard but I'm having tou much fun with Spiderman so I'll just stick with him.
