Very fun multy player game
I played as deadpool, my only regret was that he didn't have more dialogue than he did.
But what he did say was funny.

Overall A good time
THE GOOD: The good is fairly easy to find. While cartoonish, the graphics are well done and smooth. The implementation of the powers in this game is also well done and follows the previous X-Men games made by this publisher. They are intuitive to use and have the feel they should.
The story, while very much seen before, is true to it's comic roots and feels like you are playing through a well written cross-over comic. The 8 additional characters added to the gold edition make for a decent add-on and help extend the fun you will have playing this title.
The in-game cut scene's are well done and add to the gameplay experience rather then detract from it. The CGI cut scene's are very well made and enjoyable to watch. Players will find themselves going back to watch these and show them to their friends.
The addition of online and single console multiplayer through the entire store is a big addition and fairly painless to use.
Plus, lets get real, it's always fun to play your favorite superhero or villain.
THE BAD: The first, and probably biggest complaint, is the voice acting. The quality could hardly be worse and does take the player out of the otherwise engrossing game. Had the developer chosen to use better talent, this game could have gone from good to great.
The Multi-player, while very fun, plagued by camera problems as when playing single console, everyone has to stay in the same small area. This can be very frustrating.
THE VERDICT: The most important thing about a game is whether it is fun to play, and on that criteria, this game is a success. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys adventure style games and comic fans alike.

Ultimate alliance gold review
I was a fan of ultimate alliance before it came out, and when I found out there was a version with extra characters, I had to get it, and it is totally worth it.

Good fun for Marvel fans and decent game overall
Being able to play your favorite Marvel characters and use trademark special moves has lots to geek out about. A pretty long story line can keep the game interesting for a good while too. Playing with your friends over Xbox live gives relief from AI frustrations and the solo missions in the simulator let each hero show case their stuff. My largest complaint is camera view that corrals the team around like a bunch of sheep. It's hard to make out exactly what's going on at times from clutter and to truly appreciate what the characters are doing. Still, an endurable annoyance given the fun with cheesy dialog and villain chest pounding.

"Old" People Unite!
If you define old as "my first game system was pong" then I am old. I stopped buying game systems when my PS1 Tomb Raider games started giving me headaches. My nephew has an XBOX 360 and, being a comic book fan, I decided to try Ultimate Alliance. Well, now I own a copy. I don't know how it compares to other games, but it is a great game if you want to act out your favorite characters.
