A four-player beat-em up with a slew of super-powered characters: a terrific combination.
Expanding on the X-Men Legends games, Ultimate Alliance is a flashy comic book brought to life. With dozens of playable characters, each with a range of powers which grow more and more powerful, the biggest complaint may be that you only get to use four at a time.
Traditionally over-the-top voice acting and visually exciting super-powers heighten this comic book romp. While not perfect, this game will keep players enjoyably occupied for hours on end: Leveling up characters, unlocking new costumes, or just throwing endless baddies off a cliff.
Recommended for comic book fans and gamers who like to beat up thousands of bad guys with flair!
I tell Clyde all the time that he needs to show off his legs more. I'm trying to get him to get a little sun on them first, but I'll take what I can get. Woo woo!
I'm never sure how sincere Lizzy's "woo-woos" are.
One of the times I bought this game, it was the PSP version, because it has exclusive characters. I never understand why handheld games get exclusive content instead of the more expensive console counterparts.
But I rarely play a handheld game at home, so it got to the point I was volunteering to take friends to their doctor's appointments so I could sit in the lobby and play this game. That's right, I risked my health, surrounded by diseased patients, just to play this game. Gotta beat up them Doombots.
