Good review. I'd rate it higher at 8/10 personally as I bought it when it first came out and just could not stop playing it until I'd completed it (which took me about four days of intense play on Normal).
Like the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games on the Xbox, Marvel Ultimate Alliance was insanely addictive for me so much so that I decided to pick up X-Men II for the Xbox for £7.50 from GAME, a game I missed when it was first released, and I couldn't stop playing that either!!! LOL I absolutely love these kind of action RPGs and they're fantastic fun in co-op mode too... |

The PS3 version supports 1080p if that's what you mean but also comes complete with framerate issues apparently, like quite a few of its other multiformat games it would seem from the reviews I've read. So the real-gen on the PS3 means being able to play games at 1080p but with a shit framerate. Great innit?

Sounds like PC games which have potentially massive picture resolutions but you can't use those resolutions cos they're jerky. |

That review is plain fixed... 7 out of 10...
a) which game were you playing, or b) it must be 5/10 points better than the demo I am shocked. |

One of the major bugs is that it's shite... definitely a toss up between this and Eragon for last-gen shite 360 game of the year... however if you like pointless, unrewarded hacking...

Not sure if I agree with the final verdict in the review, in that repetetive combat and poor graphics (especially on the PS2 version I've been playing) cripple this game for me. I couldn't care less what's around the next corner to unlock if the game itself is relatively poor. I managed about 20 minutes on co-op mode with a mate on this game, then I ducked out through sheer boredom, even though I love the Marvel franchise and other superheroes.

It is pretty fun, but mindless. I don't care though, 'cos I'm a marvel whore! Any game where I get to be Deadpool is good enough in my book! :)
Seriously, spot on review, guys! It's never going to set the world alight, but it is, like every decent dungeon crawler, horribly addictive. And while the graphcis may not be bleeding-edge, the presentation definitely is. I've got to play it again because the ending made me feel so bad! |

I got the PC version and I'm loving it. In the last Act right now, so it's all coming to an end soon, sadly, but I think it's great. The PC version has 2 very distinct graphic modes: There's an Advanced Lightning button in options that makes it look completely next gen, very shiny and all that, and without that it basically looks XBOX1 quality at a high resolution. It looks quite tasty on high settings, imo. Can't imagine playing it on a keyboard though, I use a PS2-style gamepad. I'd have given it an 8/10 probably, but good review!

Singleplayer really is boring as all hell, i'm afraid.
Serious kudos for putting Deadpool in it though - that guy's fantastic, but he's NEVER in any games! I did feel kinda cheated that the lineup of actual playable characters wasn't that great, though. Also; i was promised Agent X as an unlockable skin for Deadpool in a preview, but it's not even in there... *grumble* |

XM:L2 was not that good at all. I really loathed the way, characters used to level up every 5-10 minutes, and managing a party was a pain in the bottom. Oh, and there were LOOOOAAAAAADIIIIIIING TIIIIIIIIMEEEEEES, since I was playing the PSP version. Not to mention, that the gameplay itself was pretty boring and repetitive, and levels - poorly designed.
So, if this one is more of the same (and it is, judging from what I've seen in the PC version and read in the review), than... meh. I think, I'll pass. It's a pity, though, because I was kinda looking forward to this game. |
