2 Stars bad controls, pretty repetitive
the wii controls for this game just really feel like an afterthought, they really don’t work well at all. it plays better with the more standard alternate controls. This is basically an isometric brawler, pretty fun using your super powers to beat up dudes for a while, but it quickly becomes repetitive. there are many better games for the wii.
5 Stars very fun game extremly slow delivery
The game is very fun the added characters are great. But it took a very long time to deliver and i paid for fast delivery and it took about a week and a half.
2 Stars Camera woes
Had this game on ps2 and it was great. Got it for the Wii so my friends and I could enjoy hours of mindless fun. Unfortunately all we got was motion sickness and achy arms.
The camera refuses to stop revolving around us as we play. This gives rise to awkward camera angles and the aforementioned motion sickness. Not just to me but to everyone playing and even a couple people just watching.
The control scheme with regards the Wii-mote and the motions needed doesn’t feel very well thought out or particularly beneficial to the gameplay as a result of the difficulty in performing the action you actually want. Also with 4 people randomly swinging their arms about, someone’s destined to be bruised unless you’ve got lots of space. Nintendo need to make all games with a standard control scheme, incorporating the classic controller and gamecube controllers, and offer an in game bonus for using the Wii-mote and nunchuk(for this game faster regeneration of power perhaps).
If these flaws aren’t corrected in the upcoming version I don’t see myself getting it for the Wii as the one advantage they had over other systems (4 players per system without the purchase of an additional peripheral) is now moot.

This is a fun game. I’m still learning how to use all the fight maneavers.
5 Stars Best Game Ever Created by Marvel
Marvel has had a lot of success in the video game industry, and a lot of failures too. I’m a big Marvel fan, and what I can say about this game is that it’s the best damn Marvel game you’re gonna play. Of course, I don’t expect you to be a fan of ALL of the characters in this game. I haven’t even heard of a lot of the characters in this game, especially the cheesy enemies. But you can really learn a lot about the Marvel Universe just by listening to the dialogue and learning from your mistakes in the trivia. I’ve learned a lot about all of the different characters after beating the game. Now I can understand the segment in Robot Chicken about the Watcher. It is VERY fun to play with more than one person, because you can team up with the computer or just stick to two/three people, or even play with FOUR people. Marvel fan or not, this game is way too awesome not to own. I can’t wait for the second one, and if you’re reading this when Ultimate Alliance 2 already came out, then I definitely have it!
