wowsers - thats some cool content.

just a pity the actual game wasn't that great. good in multiplayer but single player was a bit flat.

I agree totally, though I saying Magneto and Hulk headlining is kind of rude towards Doctor Doom

No but Bruce Banner was. I think he was in the second level the Omega Zone or something.

What Marvel Ultimate Alliance really needed to do was to stop using that engine that we had seen before in XMen Legends. Its just a really repetitive engine, with the same basic building blocks with a different theme for each level. Plus all the rooms have 90 degree lines.

It doesn't help that there's way too much excessive dialogue and the flow of the game is interrupted by the main base that you return to all the time, as well as the fact that the levels don't flow together very well. One minute Im fighting in some chinese inspired rooms, the next underwater, the next in some bizarre circus level.

Anyways i thought the best bit was the arcade style multiplayer how we were all battling for points. I've only got 3 controllers so it was great to have only three players on the screen too.
