An all-star cast of Marvel superheroes team up to fight a group of supervillains called the Masters of Evil in this action RPG
Overview
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is the spiritual successor to Raven Software's X-Men Legends series, effectively replacing the X-Men and their mutant-specific tribulations with an expanded roster of characters and a conflict that impacts the entire Marvel Universe. Playable characters include high-profile superheroes like Spider-Man and Wolverine, as well as fan favorites like Moon Knight and Deadpool. The game plays as a squad-based action RPG where you can play alongside a team of either AI-controlled or real-life teammates.You can initially choose from 16 heroes, though you unlock an additional seven over the course of the game. Every character has a number of unique attacks, and will gain experience points through combat that can be used to upgrade their abilities. Each hero has four unlockable costumes, which, in addition to altering the the character's appearance to varying degrees, also infer various performance bonuses. Furthermore, you can earn additional bonuses based on who you choose to be in your party, though you can swap out heroes throughout the game. An additional eight heroes were made available in the Xbox 360 version as downloadable content, including Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Hawkeye, the Hulk, Magneto, Sabretooth, Venom, and Dr. Doom; another release of the game, labeled 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold', included these bonus characters on disk and was released in May 2007 for the Xbox 360.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance was released on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PS2, GBA and PC. Activision announced on February 8, 2008 that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion is in development, though no further information has been released at this time.
