Create your Marvel dream team from a roster of super heroes
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 have
plans for world domination, and the heroes must band together
to defeat them...
In
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance you get to play as some of
the most revered Marvel characters as you 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.
In
the whole super hero universe I've always been a DC Comics
fan. I had always thought that Marvel was a poor man's DC
- that Marvel's range of super heroes were pitiful in comparison
to DC's. Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men weren't
a patch on Batman, Superman and the JLA. Or so I thought.
Playing this game made me realise that Marvel have just as
impressive a roster of heroes and villains (even if you may
not already be familiar with some of them) and learning more
about them was part of the fun, for me, of this game.
You
start off with Wolverine, Captain America, Spider-Man and
Thor as you make your way around the levels. But it's not
long before you'll feel like a change and at the start of
this game you have a limited amount of addition characters
to choose from. You can swap your characters for any of the
Fantastic Four, Spider-Woman or a few other Marvel heroes
(other characters are unlocked as you progress through the
game).
The
game allows you to control the most powerful super hero alliance
the world has ever known. Experience the full scale of the
Marvel universe with a combined cast of over 140 popular comic
book characters. Create, customise and control your own four-person
strike team, selecting from an initial roster of 20 playable
characters, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Thing, Captain
America, Elektra and Thor and battle notorious super villains
including Dr. Doom, Galactus and countless other favourites.
You
can also customise your Marvel dream team - create you own
team name, team icon, team vehicle and establish a team reputation
as you play through the storyline. You also have total control
over levelling up each team member to your liking, or you
can upgrade all team members together to keep their heroes
balanced.
Your
team members can fight while airborne, on the ground, and
even submerged underwater as they traverse through 17 locales
and play out some of the most legendary comic book battles
from the Marvel universe.
At
the end of the day this is one impressive console game which
will seriously appeal to comic book fans. It's also a fantastic
game in it's own right though. If you are not familiar with
the Marvel universe you can still play this game without scratching
your head. In fact it's not a million miles away from the
old arcade classic Gauntlet (only with much better
graphics and gameplay).
This
is the super hero game that the world has been waiting for.
