Everyone from Iron Man and Thor to Blade and Deadpool is available to join your team. While X-Men: Legends limited you to only members of the X-Men with a few select cameos, Ultimate Alliance brings together heroes from all over the Marvel Universe. Up to four players take control of some of the greatest heroes the Marvel Universe has to offer and work together to beat the Masters of Evil before their plans can come to fruition. At its core, Ultimate Alliance is an overhead beat-'em-up in a vein very similar to games like Gauntlet. On the surface, Ultimate Alliance looks very similar to X-Men: Legends in many ways it is simply X-Men Legends 3, but as anyone who's played Legends can tell you, that isn't a bad thing. Launching a surprise attack on S.H.I.E.L.D's headquarters, the Masters of Evil leave S.H.I.E.L.D commander Nick Fury no choice but to call in every superhero in order to stop Von Doom's plan. Doctor Victor von Doom, villain extraordinaire, has gathered together all of the Earth's greatest villains, from those as lowly as The Scorpion to the god Loki, to form the new Masters of Evil. Set in this original universe, the story is the stuff of which legends are made. What this means is that continuity isn't as hard and fast as it could be, so don't stress yourself out over any incongruities in the storyline and continuity, and just enjoy the constant barrage of cameos. Instead, it exists in a sort of amalgam of the two, featuring designs and personalities from both.
Thankfully, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance finally manages to capture the feeling of a massive crossover storyline without sacrificing quality gameplay.ĭie-hard comic fans be warned: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance isn't set in either the 616 or Ultimate version of the Marvel Universe.
The last attempt to capture the feel of a giant Marvel Comics crossover comic was Marvel: Rise of the Imperfects, which was met with mediocre reviews, and the reaction from both gamers and comic fans was lukewarm at best.
Few of them manage to capture the feel of adventure and excitement that the actual comics contain, and even fewer manage to capture the excitement of a team book like Justice League or The Avengers.
