A comic fans wet dream come true.

Comic book fans are known the world over for being hard to please. Whether Marvel or DC buffs, they know their stuff and remember everything. If anyone messes with their heroes, they do not sit idly by to say the least. Case in point – the internet backlash that resulted when the Spiderman movie had Peter Parker naturally gaining the ability to shoot webs rather than building customized web shooters like the original comic storyline.
See, I told you, we remember everything.

It can be looked at as no less than an achievement then that Raven Software has made Marvel: Ultimate Alliance an experience that will please even the most diehard comic book fans with it’s depth and little touches, while pleasing casual fans with its fun, old-school beat-em up style.

Anyone familiar with the surprise hit X-men legends or its sequel X-men Legends: Rise of Apocalypse will feel right at home upon loading Ultimate Alliance. You have access to a deep catalogue of Marvel heroes past and present as you smash, punch and use your mutant powers to get through the game’s dungeon like levels. At any given time, your group consists of four superheroes, any of which you can control with a simple touch of the D-pad. At first, you are limited to controlling Captain America, Wolverine, Spiderman and Thor, but halfway through the first level, you reach your first chance to switch your team, kicking off one of the game’s coolest and most intriguing aspects.
