2 out of 5 stars It's not worth buying if you already have other X-men games.   July 24, 2007
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

The graphic of Wii version is the same as my Xbox classical but it still looks good to me. The game play is not more interesting than the old X-men game I have on classical Xbox.
The most disappointing thing is the Wii remote controller does not work well with action games. Many times, I moved the controller to one direction but my character moved to a different direction or it did not respond at all. To get accurate movements, I have to use Nintendo classical controller to play action games. This is where Wii loses its attraction because movements on the classical controller are not as "natural" as the Wii remote.
The only positive thing about this game is it has more characters than in other X-men games.

In short, it's not worth buying if you already have other X-men games.

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?

Wow, I am amazed at the number of complaints about the controller for this game. Some games will work better than others with the Wii wireless remote. Here's an idea! Why not get the Classic Controller for the Wii? There you go. Problem solved. Glad I could help with the obvious! I use it (with the nyko grip) and the game is fun, frantic and easy to control. As for the graphics, This game holds its own there too. Comparing Wii to PS3 or Xbox is ridiculous. They are two different standards. Nintendo has more than proved time and time again that graphics alone DO NOT make a good game. 1 nuke or 10? It doesn't matter anymore in the graphics area, fun does and the graphics and game play on this game for the Wii are amazing, better than the PS2 and from what I keep seeing the Wii is still out selling the PS3 even with PS3's price drops. Remember, CLASSIC CONTROLLER.



4 out of 5 stars Even with Wii control problems an exciting, addicting game.   March 25, 2007

Originally, I was hesitant about this game, due to the troubling reviews. However, even with the biggest negatives (re: Wii remote control) the positives overwhelm the negatives and is possibly one of the most addicting games out there. The game allows you the opportunity to play as various Marvel superheroes. Unlike a simple "punch and kick" game, each "power" is specifically designed to match the hero, so that playing with a "Captain America" is a very different experience than playing with "The Thing." However clunky the controls are, the intense action and surprising detail to the game creates an world environment which you will not want to turn off. Having turned on relatives and friends to this game, they have all had the same type of positive experience. Since you have about 20 characters to choose from, plus multiple "mini-games" the game will not get tired and is a wonderful bonding experience.

The more you know and are a fan of Marvel Comics, the greater enjoyment you will get from the game and superb touches. Even without knowledge, it is a fast paced game that you can literally play for hours without wanting to get up to go the bathroom. The downside is that the Wii remote doesn't work 100% and there are numerous attacks that you have to either memorize or relearn in battle. There is a work around. The problem is for certain movements and mini-games it is a stroke of luck to finish. The game shows the potential of what superhero games can be and will be looking forward to the next game.

Additionally, since the game allows a "hard" version, even finishing allows you more game play.



2 out of 5 stars Just a rating   March 2, 2007

Im not in the mood to write a whole review for this game because in my opinion, its not even worth that. The new Wii remote controls for this game suck and its just a copy of X-men from older systems. Not worth to be on the Wii
