Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Any of you guys get into the circus and play pinball and pitfall?

Quite a trip down memory lane playing that part in the game.

I can't believe we used to love that game pitfall. It was fun and funny all at once

My favorite level so far. The end boss is pretty fun too, I went through a 20 minute battle with him to start without figuring out how to hurt him. The bumper car match and the other arcade game near the end were both fun too.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Mephisto's Realm is awesome because you can really level up your characters.

All mine went from about 19 to 25 in just that level. My DeadPool is ridiculous now.

That and...




SPOILER

























I finally got to unlock Ghost Rider in that level. Add to that the whole "Choice" between the X-Men is friggin awesome...

************SPOILER****************************














Who'd you pick Longhorn? I picked to save Jean Gray, Nightcrawler came back at the end but ended up dying anyway, I'm wondering how the other choice plays out.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I made the same choice.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I use the coins only for the outfits as for points you can level up to get them or re-distribute them later on.

Anyone know if there is a place to buy items like there was in Legends II?

The outfits are based on enemies killed by the user with a given character, PT.

I think I read that you get an outfit for every 50 kills or something like that. The 4th uni is beating the training mission. I just picked up Iron Man anime-style Ultimates version which looks wicked.

Just entered Aasgard to free Baldur...sincerely hoping for a cameo by Volstaag and the Warriors Three.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I'm having a complete blast with this game! WOW! Love the variety of characters.

I was glad to see that it was made by Activision as well. I thought for some reason that the game was made by EA... *phew* thought I sold my soul there for a second!

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Just ended the game last night (no spoilers). Very well done game. Though missing a bunch of things that could of came over for Xmen Legends(Treasure Box to store gear. Biggest thing missing) it was still fun. Another thing i thought they would of had for MUA was air combo attacks.

Anyways missing a couple of things suits but i basically have everything for everyone except Nick Fury and Black Panther. Also need to delete main save and game profile to unlock Silver Surfer and get the achievement. Gonna start over on Hard.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I just got to Atlantis (been busy with work and life stuff). My current group of heroes is awesome.

1. Moon Knight - his default attack sucks, but once you get staff combat and staff slam, this guy's a boss killer. I also upgraded his classic costume and with health regen and attack speed with the defense, he's hard to kill

2. Deadpool - dual shot rocks He hasn't died yet either

3. Spider-Man - he's really starting to get better. I upped his web bullets and web shield and got web snare and he's shining now. Just make sure you upgrade his defense early. I'm using him in his symbiote costume

4. Colossus - he dies a little too easily, but I upped his outfit defense to hopefully help out with that. I make sure he gets the strike bonuses because he's evebn better when you do that

I'm going to use Thor again, but I'm going to be deciding on a team name right now....

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Thor is the man. He has to be one of the main guys.

The training missions are a great way to up your coin totals and power up

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Finished the game last night and had an absolute blast. All told, I probably spent 25-ish hours playing it through. My group of heroes included:

1) Spider-Man. My favorite superhero of all time, so he had to be included. His Web Warrior attack is disgustingly powerful and by the end of the game his classic costume was reflecting 100% of melee damage. His web swinging ability is the only way to travel.

2) Luke Cage. Imo, the best all-around tank in the game. His chargable Jab attack and AoE Drill Bit made very short work of every boss and when buffed, he was close to unkillable. The Thing has more crowd control attacks than Luke does, but Luke does a hell of a lot of damage.

3) Daredevil. My party was all about high up-front damage and he fit the bill. Extensive Strike is great and works well against almost anyone, and Devastation is a tremendous room-clearer. I also used Deadpool in this slot for his excellent team buff, and Elektra for her 8-second stun attack. Elektra gets a lot of crap for being lousy, but that stun attack is awesome and she does have a little group damage buff.

4) Doctor Strange. I also used Silver Surfer here, but Strange is another favorite of mine and I couldn't leave him on the sidelines. His AoE flame power makes him pretty much unkillable since it soaks up life from those around him, and he has a pretty decent chance to insta-kill any non-boss with his Black Magic bolt. Pretty fun.

I've now unlocked every character, gotten every achievement except some of the secret ones, and also unlocked hard mode. By the end of the normal campaign my team was pretty much unkillable....I only had one full party wipeout the entire game that wasn't due to falling off something. So I'm thinking about running it through again on hard mode with a duo instead of a foursome.

Good times....the first single-player game I've actually finished in a long time.

Re: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Well...this game is definitely holding my attention.
I just beat Mephisto(the second time...down in his realm) and his "son" Blackheart. I love how beating the bosses and in Mephisto's realm..the minions requires you to do something specific before they become vulnerable. It's like they are shielded heavily until you can take it down.

Anyway...I have three teams I switch on and off during missions.

First Team
...Captain America- He's heavily jacked up!.....and I recieved a MONSTEROUS strike for him. I couldn't figure out how to beat one part of Mephisto's minions and as I raced around trying to find how to get the portal open(you'll understand when you get to that part..it's not YOUR portal) the minions just kept regenerating and I must have leveled up about 15 times during that time.

...Thor- The guy is just a beast. His "Super" Strike is awesome. Plus he can fly. Great for moving around so nobody can get to him until you figure out what to do.

....The Thing- What can you say about a guy made of ROCK!!! Devastating punches.

.....Wolverine- This guy almost never dies! He was barely scratched by Mephistos attacks and thankfully so....everyone else bit the dust and I only had Wolverine left until I could figure out what the heck to do!

then I switch on and off between The Thing and Thor with ...

....Ironman- he's got a great energy shot and once he levels is pretty formidable. That and he can fly

....Mr. Fantastic- He's got some GREAT strikes! Try him and let him level a few times.

....MoonKnight- Once he levels he's very good...

...and now that I unlocked Dr. Strange....it's great to have his magical strikes and upgrades for the entire group.

Now...I have a question. I keep beating lower bosses and bosses and finding rings with powers...but it says my inventory is full and I can't take them.
How do I clear some stuff from my inventory so I can get these new power ups?
Thanks.

Press X on items while on the gear screen to sell off anything you don't want. My experience is that the hero-only gear (Iron Man's Codpiece!) is basically worthless and that there are maybe 6-8 items in the game that are unquestionably awesome. Sucks that there's not some kind of global repository to keep all the stuff though.

There's one piece you get relatively early on that gives you a small amount of life and energy for every knockout. Give that to your main character and he becomes a one-man fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. Spider-Man wore that the whole game.
