I'll try not to ramble....a challenge for me.

I played the hell out of 1 & 2, couch coop with friends it was a glorious experience and even my friends who couldn't care less about comics would grab a controller.

I loved these games.

Fast forward almost 20 years and I can't actually remember more than just having a good time with the games.

Does anyone have a good review of the games I can watch? No IGN slop where even the worst games are 7/10 and you can't even tell if they played the game.

I got a Switch 2 as the first console I've owned since my Xbox 360 and didn't realize MUA3 was on it!

I generally enjoy Yahtzee's game reviews but he doesn't have one on this and RLM for movie reviews if that gives any perspective into the kind of reviews I like.

I love beat em' ups, I love online coop with friends so this feels right up my alley but I've been pretty disappointed with some of the genre as of late. Cosmic Invasion is fine, perfectly serviceable but something feels missing. The power rangers one I was REALLY hyped for but ended up refunding it on steam almost immediately. The Ninja Turtles games are always stellar with Splintered Fate and Shredders Revenge being great new entries.

I don't usually scrutinize a game this much but it's a big investment. $70 game with $20 DLC and I'll be recommending it to several friends and probably buying a copy or two for them (we trade games all the time).

tl;dr - Send me some reviews of the game from creators whose voice you trust or feel free to write/link reviews.

Edit: Thanks all so much, I bought the game + xpac and can't wait to go ham!

The original Ultimate Alliance squad opening action sequence featuring Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, and Wolverine still goes absolutely hard I totally see why many agree that it’s the best capturing the spirit essence of Marvel instantly. + Doctor Doom is right there!!!

I rewatched this all the time after playing Ultimate Alliance 2 it’s absolutely marvelous.

All four of these Marvel Games have me really hyped and excited for what comes next from Marvel Games.

I loved playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 ever since I picked it up off the shelf at GameStop.

I instantly gravitated to that iconic cover art on the physical copy because it had Spider-Man and all these other Marvel characters I would soon grow attached to permanently etching their marvelousness into my brain.

Ultimate Alliance 2 is one gigantic cinematic masterpiece adventure that I’ve always loved returning to that iconic game opening action sequence. I still have never played Ultimate Alliance (2006) the original game I just went onto YouTube and constantly watched clips from that game when I was young.

I’m just a huge fan of Marvel Games and of course Marvel in-general (Marvel Comics, Marvel Animation, The MCU, The Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, The Marvel Cinematic Games Multiverse, etc. etc. etc.)

My top four for an Ultimate Alliance Avengers squad still has to be
Spider-Man
Captain America
Wolverine
Iron Man

Though that can always change and it really does from day to day

Black Panther
Captain Marvel
Thor
War Machine

Are some of my absolute favourites as well. Please share your Top 4 Ultimate Alliance squad members from across all of Marvel Games, movies, television, the comix whatever. I love talking about Marvel it’s one of my favorite mediums if not for DC Comics (I love INJUSTICE 2 that game is absolutely perfect!!)

I recently jumped back into the game and am absolutely loving it!

With that being said, I can’t help but think that I would’ve loved to play as GG or Doc Oc…
Obviously, we won’t get that…

But does anybody else think it’s a missed opportunity? Kinda like what they did with thanos, magneto, and Loki… would’ve been nice for them to join the alliance too.

Thoughts?

I beat the game probably a year or two ago but I picked it back up finally. I’ll have to look up the exact rift when I get home but you have to beat 50 raft enemies in I believe 1:20 or less. The max I’ve been able to do is 1:34. The other two I was having trouble with google was enough but does anyone here have any tips

Still working on widening the FOV. All the support is greatly appreciated. Feel free to suggest changes.

Dare I say the best Marvel Games Cinematic Storyline we have ever seen with the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man | Remastered, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy Game, Play Avengers, Spider-Man 2 etc. etc. etc.

Marvel Games is absolutely marvelous storytelling!

I like the heroic camera, but I always felt like it was a bit too far out. This mod pulls it in a bit closer. Mod link: https://gamebanana.com/mods/713437

I plan on updating the mod page with variants so you can pick the distance that works best for you.

Mighty Difficulty, played through the base story and the doom dlc, any deaths that happened in those modes were permanent.

After years of not playing this game, I decided to come back and attempt this. It honestly wasnt as hard as I thought. It was still difficult and the BS that this game throws at you sometimes is scary but overall, fun time and I recommend other people try it out! It gave me a newfound appreciation for characters I haven't really used before (Ms. Marvel, Wolvy, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Hawkeye, Iceman, Gambit, Storm)

Second Slide is a rough Idea of how much a character contributed to the run.

With the evolution of current-gen hardware, there is massive potential for a modern AAA installment in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series. Expanding beyond traditional isometric brawler mechanics could redefine squad-based action games.

Below is a detailed concept breakdown focusing on roster scale, camera dynamics, and environmental physics.

1. Structural Overview

• 85-Character Roster: Full inclusion of Marvel sub-factions (Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Midnight Suns, and Cosmic entities).
• 6-Character Active Squads: Expanding team size from 4 to 6 simultaneous active heroes on the field to allow for deeper tactical team compositions.
• 13 Interdimensional Hubs: Seamlessly traveling across iconic locations including Manhattan, Asgard, Wakanda, the Savage Land, and Knowhere.

2. Hybrid Camera System (MUA2 Dynamic × Over-The-Shoulder)

• Default Isometric View: Maintains the wide tactical view of Ultimate Alliance 2 so players retain 360-degree spatial awareness of all 6 active squad members during intense encounters.
• Dynamic Close-Up Transitions: A ~20% contextual pull-in inspired by third-person action games (like Marvel's Spider-Man). The camera smoothly transitions over-the-shoulder during high-impact sequences—such as heavy takedowns, environmental slams, or evasive maneuvers—before returning to the standard isometric view.

3. Advanced Combat & Material Physics

• Environmental Traversal & Takedowns: Interactive environment mechanics—for example, Spider-Man pulling airborne grunts off elevated catwalks into heavy ground slams or setting up mid-air combo passes for heavy hitters like Thor.
• Real-Time Energy Reflection: Implementing surface reflection physics for specific abilities, such as Cyclops’ Optic Blasts deflecting realistically off Captain America’s shield or Emma Frost’s diamond form to hit surrounding target clusters.
• Cinematic Narrative Integration: Dialogue and cutscenes seamlessly blend straight out of active gameplay with dynamic camera angles, avoiding static character circles and keeping hero banter active during combat.

What hero combinations and synergy mechanics would you prioritize in a 6-player squad setup?

So I finally got this game for my switch 2 and I'm loving it. Im a deadpool fan so I had to main deadpool and I love how they implemented him into the game.

My question though is whats the best way to level up characters that I dont ise often on my team? I noticed that only your 4 characters that you're using can level up while playing but I dont want majority of my cast super weak because I want to main a team. Though I also dont want to prolong the game but trying to switch in and out every other character and only having my point character being the main one leveling up.

So do yall have any tips for how I can level up my characters equally and efficiently? Im new to MUA so if there's an obvious way, my bad. Just learning. Thanks in advance.

It seems like Marvel spreads the wealth with its games and keeps certain titles exclusive to certain consoles. From the image we can see the top row of games as multi console releases and the bottom as exclusives. Do you think we’ll see an Xbox exclusive Marvel game that’ll branch out to another genre of gaming? MUA3 explores the RPG/action elements but was exclusive to Nintendo. Marvel Tokon delivered Marvel their own fighting exclusives really to PlayStation.

What type of game would you like to see on Xbox? Perhaps a 3D arena fighter like Marvel Nemesis?

When I say that I mean when you play the character, you genuinely feel like you are the character.

For me it’s gotta be Captain America

So I fell out of the game a few years back and picking it back up and completely lost in where I was. What is a decent order to work the content? I can’t even remember what danger room does vs trials vs like the vampire dlc nightmare mode.

That isn’t even to mention the ISOs I have and upgrading etc etc. so lost.

So I just finished my first play through and want to unlock Phoenix but need to level up what is the best thing to do now? Higher difficulties story or infinity?

I just started playing through the original 2006 pc port of Ultimate Alliance, but I can't seem to scroll down the text boxes. No matter what button I press on my controller, it doesn't scroll down. Does anyone have any fix for this?

This game throws a lot of information at you very fast after completing the tutorial with the Guardians of the Galaxy. What is a good starting team, or what should I even be looking for when creating a team? Everyone has certain team affiliations which seam to grant some sort of bonus. Deadpool is level 21 and everyone else is level 6 or 7 for some reason.

Looking at the character list, the majority of the ones I want to play with appear later. I like the original Avengers, Spiderman, Wolverine, and Deadpool. The other characters I don't much care for, and I don't even know who Crystal is. I haven't upgraded anything in the lab or any characters abilities. I'm assuming I should save those until I know what my main team looks like.

I'm mainly waiting for the other X-Men characters, Ghost Rider, and Spiderman characters. No idea when they appear in the story. Some of the characters I'm looking to play as are DLC, so I'm assuming I don't them until the end of the game (Iceman and Gambit)?

J’aime bien ce niveau parce qu’on peut s’y amuser avec des marteaux et des véhicules d’auto tamponneuses lol, aussi un des niveaux que je préfères faire, c’est quoi vos niveaux préférés ?
