Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

[Savage]

That'd be cool. They don't even have to be on the same team either. It can be a race for the Infinity Gaunlet...Maybe even individual endings. That would shoot the replay value through the roof. :up:

[Charlie No-One]

Half those people are still obscure and even more so for people not interested in comics.

[Havok83]

You know what I'd really love to see? Giving this game the XML2 treatment. Heroes and villains on one team. That way, obscure characters would be forced out of the game, plus we can be something besides mutants.

Spider-Man and Green Goblin
Mr. Fantastic and Dr.Doom
Sue Storm and Blastaar
Human Torch and Electro
The Thing and Super Skrull
Namor and Tiger Shark
Daredevil and Bullseye
Wolverine and Sabertooth
Hulk and Abomination
Dr. Strange and Mordo
Cap and Baron Zemo
Iron Man and Mandarin
Rogue and Mystique
Cyclops and Magneto
She-Hulk and Titania
Thor and Loki
Hercules and Atlas
Wasp and Yellowjacket
Nova and Annihulus

Now theres a roster where I would play as every single person.
IDA. While it sounded cool at first, I hated having the Brotherhood take up precious X-men slots. Id rather play as the heroes

[Savage]

But Magneto ruled. :(

Especially that move where he'd pull everything in the room on one person.

[gtkilla]

Yes!!
I finally beat the game! :D

[Havok83]

But Magneto ruled. :(

Especially that move where he'd pull everything in the room on one person.
I thought Magneto sucked in XML2. He was too weak. I didnt like any of the Brotherhood members with the exception of Scarlet Witch

[spideyboy_1111]

ya, i didnt care much for mags either.... scarlet was hella fun though.. esp her ability to burst people into flames :D

[jaydawg]

I thought Magneto sucked in XML2. He was too weak. I didnt like any of the Brotherhood members with the exception of Scarlet Witch
I'll agree with that. But the villains I chose more than have enough power. If they put a XML2, I really want Green Goblin and Electro playable. Hell, Doc Ock and Venom would sweeten the deal. But if they stick with heroes only, thats just as fine proveded that above all Hulk is playable. And Namor. And Nova. And Rogue. And Blade, Luke Cage, Colossus, Deadpool and Spider-woman are out of the roster.

[Savage]

And Blade, Luke Cage, Colossus, Deadpool and Spider-woman are out of the roster.
I liked these guys. It's nice to have some B and C-Listers in there instead of just the recognizable all stars. Just wish Iron Fist was thrown in as well.

[Red]

I'll agree with that. But the villains I chose more than have enough power. If they put a XML2, I really want Green Goblin and Electro playable. Hell, Doc Ock and Venom would sweeten the deal.

:csad: You can ditch the rest, but not Deadpool.

[Savage]

There should be a new feature in the next game like bonuses for teams of two and three as well. Heroes for hire, Captain America and The Falcon, Cable and Deadpool, The Invaders, Marvel Knights (Daredevil, Punisher, Black Widow), etc.

[jaydawg]

:csad: You can ditch the rest, but not Deadpool.
Deadpool is fun, no question, but he seems like a waste of spot, especially when this game is about heroes.

[Red]

Deadpool is fun, no question, but he seems like a waste of spot, especially when this game is about heroes.

Deadpool is as much a hero as Blade and Electra, if not more.

[jaydawg]

And I think both are a waste of a spot. Hell, any character who's basically human is a waste of a spot. And by that I mean doesnt have a unique power (like Daredevil) or isn't Captain America. Basically if the best thing about you is ninja powers or guns like Ronin, Nick Fury, Elektra, Black Widow, Deapdool, Blade, hell even Black Panter, thats just the developers being lazy.

Giant man or Wasp can change sizes. Vision can alter his density. Namor can take on the Fantastic Four. Rogue can drain peoples powers. Hulking can metamorph. Nova can nullify gravity. Speedball can do all kinds of crazy ****.

These are unique abilities. You think any of them have a chance in the next game? Doubtful.

[spideyboy_1111]

I wouldnt want them to add hulkling to a game without the rest of the YA though.... but man would i love a video game with them in it

[XwolverineX]

So since I never got this game, what are the final impressions? I'll probably get it soon.

[Savage]

Awesome. Just beat it for a second time. This time with the New Avengers (Wolverine, Spidey, Cap, and Iron Man). These guys kick ass. Got all the GOOD endings this time too. :)

I hope in the next game they complete the teams. Avengers have all their members, X-men, Marvel Knights, Defenders etc. They were limited by the current gen this time but I really can't wait to see how they take advantage of the next gen. Besides, I want to see the X-men Legends characters on the next gen. They oughta look awesome.

[JustABill]

Any word on if the cheat codes will be the same for the Wii version? o_O

[gtkilla]

Was Venom in this game in a comic book mission or anything like that?
Because he wasn't in the main quest, and I was just curious...

[Red]

Agreed. Yeah, in the future installments they need to focus on the next gen systems, which means that they can bring a lot more to the game.

[Protest the Hero]

I just got this game today, really trying to like it, but I just don't. It's kind of boring to me. Maybe if I were more into the whole comic book thing.

[arachnid-guy]

What alt costumes are available for the PS2 version?

[dos_acoustic]

not sure if anyone else has done this with the PC version yet. Thought i would post some pics of my costume swaps. Its pretty sweet.

Nope its just skin swaps..still have to play as heros :(.....but it looks cooler

[arachnid-guy]

Nope its just skin swaps..still have to play as heros :(.....but it looks cooler

so....say you're playing as Spider-Man, and your swap is Mysterio....you can still see the web/movement actions as if you are really spidey?:huh:

[Nathan]

Hey, if that's the case, then please, I want to see the Lizard riding on Surfer's board. :D

[arachnid-guy]

Hey, if that's the case, then please, I want to see the Lizard riding on Surfer's board. :D

Or Doom on Ghost Rider's cycle.

[Mentok]

I dont know why I still dont have this game :confused:

[dos_acoustic]

so....say you're playing as Spider-Man, and your swap is Mysterio....you can still see the web/movement actions as if you are really spidey?:huh:

yep...you keep the powers..you can swap the character stance and movements though. thats what i did anyway. So Mysterio walks, runs, and fights like the Mysterio in the game but keeps the same voice and powers as Dr. Strange ( who i swapped with )

[dos_acoustic]

Hey, if that's the case, then please, I want to see the Lizard riding on Surfer's board. :D

Haven't bought the game yet but just saw trailer online & it's definitely gonna be on the Christmas list ! :)

Anyone tried the Marvel quiz on below ?

http://www.marvelmastermind.com (http://www.marvelmastermind.com)

Gives you a password to get cheats for the game, no use to me right now though. :(

power wise... rhino would be thing..... scorpion would be spider-woman, lizard.... wolverine? just due to claws?, and mysterio deadpool? lol just cus teleporting? lol

I guess i could try scorpion as spiderwomen..thats exactly who i switch lizard and rhino with....with mysterio i went with dr strange becuase of the magic type power

LOL she does look rather man-ish. I switched her with Ms Marvel though

[spideyboy_1111]

ya, dr. strange would work better.. i forgot about him, lol

was storm namorita? and human torch phoenix?

[dos_acoustic]

ya, dr. strange would work better.. i forgot about him, lol

was storm namorita? and human torch phoenix?

Ms Marvel was Namorita...I didnt even think about human torch..ill have to try that.. I just figured out how to do this last night so most of these are just tests i havent really given much thought about exact powers and such.

How is that being lazy? Its called giving variety and different fans what they want. As long as they play differently, then it shouldnt matter. Black Panther was original and wasnt like any other character.

[Havok83]

What alt costumes are available for the PS2 version?
the same exact ones on every system

Waiiiiittttt, there's different ending's? :huh:

[블라스]

I dont know why I still dont have this game :confused:

No one knows :cmad:

[Savage]

Waiiiiittttt, there's different ending's? :huh:
Yeah. Not the cinematics though. It's kind of like the Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance and Deception endings but the pictures kind of move and there's in game footage. It's done comic book style. It depends on who you help and such.

[Mister J]

I just finished it in the wee hours of the morning. The final fight with Doom was decent, but should have been more badass. I loved the ending scenarios. They were a nice touch and have me curious to see the flip side to those choices. The voice sessions during the credits got some laughs. All in all a damn good game. Always room for improvement, but definitely good stuff. Time to fire it up again. :up:

[Manic]

I loved the voice sessions at the end.

Uatu: "Would you like me to record some action dialogue? Iiiittt'sss clobberin' time."

[Savage]

I just can't get over how well done some of these characters are. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Dr. Strange, Wolverine (Especially in berzerker rage. That man can clean house), Mr. Fantastic, ALL OF EM!!! I seriously cannot pick a favorite. When leveled up, these guys are incredible. Even Ms. Marvel grew on me. She's awesome. I play it over and over just to play these characters.

[Cyrusbales]

Blade was one of the best i thought, his voice actor was perfect, and moves were powerful. Deadpool had the coolest xtreme move though!

[Savage]

Iron Man could literally fly up and clear a room. Just blast everything to bajeezus and back. And his charging blast would kill people in one shot. I forgot the name of each. Still wish it looked more like a beam like in the comics though.

I wish I could do my own team battles like in X-men Legends 2. The New Avengers vs The Fantastic Four (The real ones) would so rule.

[Mister J]

On my replays, I wanna give the characters I barely paid attention to some run. Blade, Black Panther, Fury, Iceman and Elektra were just taking up space.

[Sparta*]

I was personally a little dissapointed with Iron Man...mainly because of how awesome he was in XML2.

[Mister J]

I was personally a little dissapointed with Iron Man...mainly because of how awesome he was in XML2.
My feelings exactly.

Motion Amplifier + Gamma Bolts = all the goodness. :up:

[WorthyStevens]

I was surprised at how great Ms. Marvel was after leveling her up a bit. She sucked at first, but I ended up loving her. :O

[Savage]

Oh yeah. That always kind of made things unfair. lol Well the moves we got were just as awesome. Especially once leveled up. I miss being able to punch people through walls though. Made the games feel more superheroic.

[Cyrusbales]

What disapoints, is that no hard hitter in any superhero game will ever compare to jugganaught in XML2 :(, he could do an attack that gives him more energy back, and makes him bigger and do more damage which gets energy, it's an infinite cycle of destruction, I was bigger than apocalypse at the end, and found it easier to beat him with his powers rather than the powers of the four!!!! ahhhhh.

[Sugarculted]

I loved the voice sessions at the end.

Uatu: "Would you like me to record some action dialogue? Iiiittt'sss clobberin' time."

Yeah, I found Uatu the funniest in the voice sessions :up:

Is it worth picking up?

Yes.....If you liked the X-Men Legends games then you will LOVE this one....If you Loved the X Games then you will Really really love this one.

I stopped playing for some reason...I'm gonna start it up again tonight.

Yes, woman! Get it!! Get it NOW! :cmad:

[Sparta*]

My feelings exactly.

Motion Amplifier + Gamma Bolts = all the goodness. :up:

Yeah, the Gamma Bolts were what I missed the most, but all his other moves were amazing too. They gave Deadpool all his XML2 moves, why didn't they give Iron Man one or two as well? He only had 4 moves afterall, how hard would it have been to throw in the gamma bolts? yea well...that's how she rolls sometimes.

Oh yeah. That always kind of made things unfair. lol Well the moves we got were just as awesome. Especially once leveled up. I miss being able to punch people through walls though. Made the games feel more superheroic.

I miss all that stuff too :( but for everything MUA doesn't have, it has something new, like custom throws and stuff :up:

What do you guys find the fastest way of levelling up your official team? Like, what do you have to do inparticular to get team points??

Like the X-men legend series?


THEN YES!

[Danger Mouse]

I'm sold. :D

But after I'm done with Neverwinter Nights 2.

[Protest the Hero]

Danger Mouse, this is the same exact game as X-Men Legends.

Just different characters.

I actually don't like it at all, having played XML 1 and 2 for so long, this game is absolutely boring, not to mention the XBox360 version doesn't take advantage of it's power at all.

Like I said before, I'm not really into comics or anything, so when I see people on here talking about how amazing the game is, followed by how they can't wait to finish it again with what ever team was assembled so many years ago in some cross over series, it makes sense.

[Upset Spideyfan]

For anyone who has the PC version

http://mistertrioxin.seetle.net/HTMLobj-3233/ColossusMK.rar


This unlocks Colossus and Moon Knight (who are both awesome :D ) the only catch is you need to start off with a new game (not the saved data one).

[Upset Spideyfan]

Danger Mouse, this is the same exact game as X-Men Legends.

Just different characters.


Its close, but not exactly. The pace is definitely quicker and the characters handle better.

Plus the characters are ten times better than any XML game. I mean come on Dr. Doom is the main boss...nothing gets better than that

[Nathan]

The fact that you face Doom is the only mention worth thing. Master Mold was way more of a challenge in XMLI.

[terry78]

The local Game Crazy has this set up on the Wii. I tried it earlier, and again using the 360 controller. The former took some getting used to, but moving the controller with a wave to unleash someone's special power and seeing them make the same movement onscreen...pretty satisfying, I must say.

[HexualCirce]

any codes to unlock Black Panther?

[Cyrusbales]

codes for black panther and silver surfer on ps2? I started the game on hard and lost al the dolls and training discs.....

[Nathan]

I don't know if there's a specific code to only unlock BP, but there's a Unlock all characters cheat.

Here's the code for all characters - Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left, Left, Start

And here for Silver Surfer if you plan to earn the other charactes the hard way - Left, Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Up, Down, Start

[Cyrusbales]

I earned all the characters except BP and SS, do you put these codes in the character index screen when you press select?

Nice avy Nathan.

[Nathan]

You can enter them either at the Start Menu or the Hero Management Menu.

[GL1]

"How I Beat the Game Story:"


I finally got around to beating this game last night with friends. Surfer, Blade, Spider-Man and me as the Black Panther went up against Doom. Surfer had played the game before and was running around the map hitting stuff talking about 'Follow Me, Trust Me.' And he isn't good at button tapping so he couldn't take doom's power.

Everyone died but me. So I end up stealthing around, hacking at Doom, when I get hit, I go take out a Fantastic Four, who, with no target, stand around like dumb bunnies. They might as well have been barrels. And while it took a couple minutes, and wasn't a ton of fun, Black Panther, stealthed with his main chargeable to the max assasinated Dr. Doom all on his own. I enjoyed that quite a bit.

[Hypestyle]

after you beat the game, does your chosen team get their stats "compared" to any other marvel teams? at least, that's what it says in the instructions (PS2).. so is that for real or did somebody mess up?

[GL1]

Hmmm...

I guess I should have chosen a team... I would've chosen Black Panther, Storm, Luke Cage and Blade. Man... that would have been fun. Maybe sub in War Machine or General Fury.

[JustABill]

Soooo, how info on if the codes the same for the Wii version?

[Agent Thermal]

I've got a quick question for Wii MUA owners myself: does this game REQUIRE the nunchuck controllers, or could you use the Gamecube controllers as well if you chose to?

[CloakandDagger]

I hope bouth, but most all Wii games are going to be only with the nunchuck controller.

[Sparta*]

I was going to get this for Wii, but then i watched the PS3 trailer and now I won't settle for less :o :oldrazz: Can you blame me though?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Sparta27/DP2.pnghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Sparta27/DP.png

how about spider-man and venom just when they team up to fight carnage

[SouLeSS]

Hmmm...

I guess I should have chosen a team... I would've chosen Black Panther, Storm, Luke Cage and Blade. Man... that would have been fun. Maybe sub in War Machine or General Fury.

I made that joke like 20-60 pages back.

Called them the "Soul Brigade" or something similar, and said I'de throw Daredevil on their team cause it's bvious they'll need a good lawyer.

[jaydawg]

how about spider-man and venom just when they team up to fight carnage
How about a developer actually treat the Green Goblin with respect and not make yet another Venom appearance.

[Venom160]

I was going to get this for Wii, but then i watched the PS3 trailer and now I won't settle for less :o :oldrazz: Can you blame me though?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Sparta27/DP2.pnghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Sparta27/DP.pngyea the ps3 version of MUA looks amazing, I have a feeling we're going to see some truely unbelievable stuff come out for the ps3.

[Charlie No-One]

Not worth the 600 bucks though.

[Venom160]

Not worth the 600 bucks though.agreed, but still wow.

[jaydawg]

But.... it looks just like the 360 version?

[WorthyStevens]

Not worth the 600 bucks though.

And that's just for the game itself. Ha HA! :oldrazz:




:lamejoke:

[dos_acoustic]

How about a developer actually treat the Green Goblin with respect and not make yet another Venom appearance.

I have been thinking that for some time my friend. When we do get green goblin he is the terrible ultimate verison. Hes pretty much a green venom

[Savage]

But.... it looks just like the 360 version?
Exactly. Definately waiting out the PS3. There is no real reason for me to get it.

[Red]

Just get a 360, then you can buy Gears of War after you finish MUA.

[slug]

is there any word on future downloadable extra content?

[k.lord]

a very nice deal.

[Agent Thermal]

I've got a quick question for Wii MUA owners myself: does this game REQUIRE the nunchuck controllers, or could you use the Gamecube controllers as well if you chose to?

UPDATE - I just found out via the Gamespot forums that MUA for Wii does require the nunchuck controllers. :( Furthermore, this limitation is getting a lot of negative press, mentioning how the movements required for many attacks can at times not work properly, plus the added effect of the wrists getting tired after playing heated battles.

Such a configuration could be interesting at times, but at other times, I would just like to fall back to that which I'm familiar with - namely, the button-smashing melee that is the X-Men Legends format.

Would it have killed them to at least OFFER a Gamecube controller option, just in case the players didn't like the Wiimote configuration!? :huh:

[Sparta*]

I'm pretty sure you can only use the gamecube controller for the gamecube games...but I thought you could use the new 'super nintendo' controller instead of the nunchucks for all wii games??

[Agent Thermal]

I'm pretty sure you can only use the gamecube controller for the gamecube games...but I thought you could use the new 'super nintendo' controller instead of the nunchucks for all wii games??

That's what I meant and thought - sorry for not clarifying. :ninja: I hope you're right! (If you find out more info on that, please post it for us!) I seem to remember reading somewhere that Super Smash Bros. Brawl was not going to be designed to use the nunchuck, that it too would utilize the standard "SNES" style controller, or simply use the GC controller (I can't remember which). After reading that, it really disappointed me that MUA wouldn't do the same. :o

[terry78]

^That's not the fault of Nintendo, that's the fault of the game developers for just making that option.

[CloakandDagger]

I dont know, the PS3 one looks nice, as dose the 360, but I dont have 600$ or 360$, but I do have just the right amount for the Wii. :)

[Psionic Force]

I just beat the game .. it rocked! And I liked how they showed you what the future was going to be like with the choices you made while playing the game. Definitely going to play again ...

So one question ... is the Thor's voice done by the guy that did He-Man? They sure sound ALOT alike

[Agent Thermal]

^That's not the fault of Nintendo, that's the fault of the game developers for just making that option.

I assumed as much. It's just really a shame, since I'd decided to wait for the Wii release to get this game for it, and I'd been waiting patiently for quite some time - now I really don't know what I'm going to do! :oldrazz:

[Red]

So one question ... is the Thor's voice done by the guy that did He-Man? They sure sound ALOT alike

Yup, its the same guy :woot:

[Mister J]

I knew his voice sounded familiar, but I never got around to looking him up. :up:

[Upset Spideyfan]

He's also Liquid Snake. ;)

[Mister J]

Actually, that rings a bit truer than the He-Man deal. It seems I would place him more with the Metal Gear franchise.

[dos_acoustic]

So one question ... is the Thor's voice done by the guy that did He-Man? They sure sound ALOT alike

He did the voice on the new he-man cartoon....he also did Leonardos voice on the original ninja turtles cartoon. I believe his name is Cam Clark

[bored]

So, I doubt I'm the first to bring this up, but with the part of the ending with Galactus, it seems obvious that the door was left open for a sequel, much like X:ML did with Apocalypse. Any word on an M:UA2 (possibly "Marvel: Ultimater Alliance)? And if so, what could be done to improve on the first (besides having the Hulk for more than a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo)?

[Nathan]

And if so, what could be done to improve on the first (besides having the Hulk for more than a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo)?

1. No recycled powers. Or at least keep them at a minimum. We really don't need 3-4 characters with the ability to slowdown time.

Powers should also have a little more, how should I say it, oomph behind it. You should feel like a Hero with extraordinary powers. I'm not really feeling like I'm having superpowers, it's just spamming powerful and flashy projectiles until the enemy falls over.

2. Better AI. For the love of God give me better AI! No running off in the opposite direction, no falling off cliffs or standing around doing nothing. Also fix their nature to dogpile the enemy. Have one character sit back and use his powers while the powerhouse of the group slams the enemy into the ground or something like that.

3. The graphics really don't do it any more. It's the least important aspect, but still no reason why some character models need to look like from the PS1. That mostly concerns NPC characters like Pym.

I'm in total agreement. I've been particularly critical of your first point since the beginning of the Legends series. Increasing size(Wasp or Pym), controlling gravity (Nova), changing density (Vision), controlling kinetic energy (Speedball) or absorbing powers (Rogue) are all unique abilities and have very interesting potential. So what do they do? Fill the game with characters who cant lift over a ton and rely on guns or knives. Whats the point if you're gonna half ass it? :whatever:

[Havok83]

absorbing powers (Rogue) are all unique abilities LOL...I got a little giggle out of that one since Rogue's whole mutant ability is all about repeating powers

[Eyeofthewater]

i hardly got many combos the whole game. in xml they were way better and easier.

[jaydawg]

LOL...I got a little giggle out of that one since Rogue's whole mutant ability is all about repeating powers
Thats a good point, but how awesome would it be to gain a boss's ability and keep it for a certain time? That would be all kinds of crazy sweetness. :ninja:

[Sabretooth]

I want a bigger lineup. They made it sounds like we were able to play as over 100 characters,when we only got what? A little over 20 tops? Bump it up a bit. 50 might be much and I doubt many would have the time to try out everyone then,but still a nice number. Maybe then we could get characters that actually represent different parts of the MU. Cosmics,flyers,street/vigilantes,and regular old crimefighters. :up:

[Nathan]

Oh, hell no. If we have 50 characters then clones are guaranteed. Well maybe have 5 unique charactertypes and the other 45 will be exact duplicates with different skins. IMO 20 more characters are more than enough.

Quality characters with unique abilities and that really feel like their comic counterparts are more important to me than numbers.

:huh: ...I know. I said 50 would be too much,but I wanted a decent number so that we could have more people.

[Nathan]

Then what? 40? 30? Still too much. If they can't come up with unique abilities, they shouldn't bother to put more characters into the game.

[Sparta*]

Then what? 40? 30? Still too much. If they can't come up with unique abilities, they shouldn't bother to put more characters into the game.

Agreed :up:

[Sabretooth]

Well,maybe if they spent a few years on the game it'd be original. I dunno,I just want to play as Nova,Speedball,Captain Marvel,Quasar,Iron Fist,Namor,Hulk,She-Hulk,Rogue,Shadowcat,Sentry,The Thunderbolts,and Blackbolt. Is that too much to ask?

So far the only PSP exclusives have been

-Black Widow

The only person on your list thats actually already an exclusive is Captain Marvel :up:

Jeez. It WAS a joke. :o

[Sparta*]

Jeez. It WAS a joke. :o

...I know it was :huh:

[jaydawg]

I think a bit over 30 would be a good number.

[Hyper Venom]

Damn you, Captain America! I want to love playing as this character, but I can't! He always gets knocked out mere minutes into a mission!

Not surprisingly, Spidey's been the most reliable throughout the whole game.

And appropriately enough, when Loki took out Cap, Spidey, and Iron Man, the last one standing against him was Thor. Struck his punk ass down with a lightning bolt, I did. :D

[Savage]

Funny enough, Captain America and Wolverine have been the golden boys of these games imo. The games seem to favor the melee characters because these guys rip through armies for me and level up real fast.

[Charlie No-One]

I never played as Cap, Iceman, Wolverine, Moonknight, Colossus, Spidey, Blade, and Deadpool.

Cap was too weak when I tried one level to play him so I went back and switched him with Mr. Fantastic. Those listed X-Men have all been played before, so minus Storm, I didn't want to play as those. Moonknight, Blade, Spidey, and Deadpool looked interesting but there were still not as good as other characters.

[Havok83]

they never said that tehre would be close to 100 playable. Its always been advertised as over 140 characters, majority of course which would be NPCs. The only bit of confusion that people might have gotten was them saying up to 30 characters total, but that number is spread across all the versions. 23 characters is a very good number of playables and more than XML1 and 2

I never played as Cap, Iceman, Wolverine, Moonknight, Colossus, Spidey, Blade, and Deadpool.

Cap was too weak when I tried one level to play him Cap was one of the best starting characters. His shield is so useful when it comes to clearing out rooms.

[Cyrusbales]

I say M:UA2 should have less starting characters, and more unlockables, with different ways of unlocking them, a little like JLH, where you can choose which ones to unlock first.

Also make the game harder perhaps? more customisation, and DEFINATELY more powers, 2 xtreme powers, and make the xtreme powers actually EXTREME!!!!!

[Nathan]

More moves? If they add more moves for every character then we won't have any original abilities at all. In MUA we already had like a dozen powers/abilities that were at least shared by like 3-4 different characters. Remember Spidey's Web Warrior, or whatever it's called, where he yanks the opponent toward him? Ghost Rider and DD had the exact same move. And I better don't mention all the generic projectile moves. I mean, Web Bullets, what the hell?

If it were up to me I'd give each character 5-6 different moves and get rid of the Extreme moves entirely. And in exchange I'd try to make the other moves more useful. For example, Spidey has that move where he can entrap an enemy, if you level that move up he should be able to entrap up to 4-5 characters in the room. That's really something where Raven could learn a thing or two from Slowblinds JLH.

I agree, and what i meant by more powers, was more original powers etc. and i don't like extreme powers, but if they gonna have them, at least make them decent! more ways to customize your noraml fighting abilities etc...

Some moves repeated because a lot of characters have moves that are alike. If only Spidey had that yank, I'd be dissapointed because both DD and GR can do it too. It would be really weird that The Thing would be able to run and mow down people but Collosus or Luke Cage couldn't.

I say just give em moves that fit the characters (which they did). Focus on the characters, not making them as different as possible. Captain America has a sheild that bounces around the room. It just so happens that Moon Knight has a boomerang that does that. Big deal.

I guess I didn't see the moves as individual moves but the individuals performing the moves. To me there's a difference between Thor clearing out a room with lightning and Storm clearing out a room with lightning.

EDIT: I wish Daredevil could throw his baton and have it bounce all over the room though. Even if it would be pretty much the same thing as Captain America and Moon Knight's.

[Nathan]

Wonder Woman and Superman are both powerhouses, but their movesets in JLH were entirely different.

Batman and Huntress in JLH, have basically the same movesets, but they are still different enough so they won't feel like exact copies. For example, both have a flashbang attack that can stun the opponent. Batman has to be in close proximity to affect the opponent, while Huntress can sit back and shoot a flashbang arrow with her crossbow into the crowd.

So just because DD, GR and Spidey are all able to yank the opponent toward them, why couldn't they vary them enough so they won't feel like completely recycled moves? While yanking the opponent GR could have pulled his right glove off and slam the opponent into the ground with his fist, Spidey could've have webbed him to the ceiling and DD could have performed a roundhouse kick and send the opponent back to where he came from.

[Cyrusbales]

good thinking!^

[Nathan]

And I don't know how anyone else thinks about this, but I'd also get rid of any boost moves. Or at least those that make no sense.

Why exactly does time slow down for everyone because Spidey uses his Spider-sense? It should be a boost that only he benefits from. Being able to dodge 50% of incoming attacks and projectiles for 30 seconds. Stats go up as you spend points on it. For example a move I'd get rid of are boosts like the Thing's 'Die Hard'. He doesn't have the ability to make other characters stronger and hit harder. He's a bruiser with super strength and stone skin. That's it, nothing more. So why give him any magical moves? The Thing: "Okay punks, listen up, I bestow on you the power to hit harder than usual."

I really despise made up powers, like Cyclops in XLM2 being able to poison the enemy with his Optic Blast. .... Lame.

[Cyrusbales]

^
Agreed Bigtime!!!!

[symbioticspaz]

I agree that the made up powers suck. But does anyone think we'll actually get a 'perfect' game? The AI will always suck to some degree, and the camera will always blow. If a few things are tweaked in this game, I think 2 will be awesome!

[Upset Spideyfan]

I mean, Web Bullets, what the hell?


Impact Webbing. :o

[Nathan]

Impact Webbing. :o

If I remember correctly Impact webbing traps the opponent on, well, impact. And I also don't remember impact webbing being used like a gatling gun.

[freemadison]

AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!! I bought this game on PC when it came out a while back but I still haven't been able to play it cause my graphics card was just under the cut.

must. play. game.....

[spideyboy_1111]

If I remember correctly Impact webbing traps the opponent on, well, impact. And I also don't remember impact webbing being used like a gatling gun.
every spider-man game has used impact webbing as a shooter weapon... there essentially web bullets... not hard, but hard enough to hurt ya a lil on impact.

[Nathan]

Still looked damn idiotic that he used impact webbing like other people ammunition.

[terry78]

^Or is that the infamous "web ball" from the Marvel vs. Capcom games where he shot two balls of webbing that immediately ensnare even the largest opponent?

[Red]

I really wish you guys would stop *****ing about stupid things.

[spideyboy_1111]

Still looked damn idiotic that he used impact webbing like other people ammunition.
dude, your *****ing, he even used the impact webbing in spidey 2... he used it in the ps1-n64 game and sequal, used it in all movie games, get over it

[Cyrusbales]

I was more annoyed about spidey being crap in the game, lol

[Nathan]

I have no problem that they are being used, the way they are used annoys me. It's like he has two machine guns strapped to his wrists.

[spideyboy_1111]

well how fast do they shoot? usually he can get 2-3 out pretty fast.. but it shouldnt be like rounds

[Savage]

I was more annoyed about spidey being crap in the game, lol
I rather liked him. He's great for clearing a room and even his special fits him perfectly. Although it should have left them knocked out as well. Web people to the floor, grab a guy and swing him around, pull someone in for a punch. good stuff.

[Docker2.0]

I really wish you guys would stop *****ing about stupid things.
Agreed! There will NEVER be a perfect game. This game is cool and I'm just grateful for it. :up:
Hey peeps! I'm stuck in Asgard! Need help! :( I've freed 1 of Ares arms but can't get through that window with the wolves. There's a statue you can push/pull but nothing working to open that door where you can get the focus and some other point. Help me!

[Savage]

You're supposed to get the statues onto that button on both sides. On the way to where you were before, when you freed Tyr I think, there should be a similar room. Pull the statue on the button there and do the same on the other side and you're good to go.

[Upset Spideyfan]

I was more annoyed about spidey being crap in the game, lol


Crap? He can clear out minions with web-lasso move, his web warrior attack is brutal and he's got Spider-Sense. How the hell is he crap?

[jaydawg]

Nathan should be a special consultant to the sequel.

[larryfilmmaker]

so is Cyclops a playable character? I'm a little Wolverined out in all these games.

[Nathan]

No, he is not playable.

[larryfilmmaker]

son of a... the leader of the X-Men for the last 40 somethin years wasn't chosen to represent Marvel's finest but Elektra was? Ah well...

[Sparta*]

Yeah, you missed the complaints about Cyclops, they are many a page back :p I feel the same way (Wolverine is still awesome though :up:)

I remember seeing a stage where Cyclops was an NPC...thats what got everyone saying Cyke was in the game. I've played through MUA a couple of times and I haven't seen Cyke at all...only in the cinematic.

[Savage]

He is a boss though.

[Sparta*]

He is a boss though.

Oh yeah :p I forgot about that. But he didn't show up in the game in the same way he was in the trailer :(

[GL1]

We dismantled Cyclops, and while he's by far my fav X-Man, I have to admit that he doesn't, to the uninitiated, seem like a very versatle her, he shoots... that's it... how much can you really do with that amidst truly diversely capable heroes like Iron Man and Storm, whom MUA can't even scratch the surface of.

If XML had spent more time getting his blasts to wall bounce (like Cap's shield) and mutlitarget (like storm's chain lightning) while giving him both line and wide area blasts and gave him mutliple leadership types (a purely offensive buff, a purely defensive buff, a combo/xp buff and decent hand to hand... in addition to not giving him wimp lines ("He's too strong for me!" Gosh! Just castrate the man already! ) THEN perhaps we'd have seen a lean mean Cyclops for MUA, but no such luck.

[GL1]

double postage.

[Wolfwood]

I skimmed through this thread, but there was a lot in it so I might have missed it, but has anyone been able to save both Jean and Nightcrawler in Mephisto's layer? Or is it impossible to save both and one has to die?

I think one has to die, otherwise you wouldn't have the Mephisto Boss Fight.. I searched and searched for the "other key" of blackheart, but it wasn't there..

anybody got screenshots of some of the exclusive characters in action? Moon Knight, Colossus, Hawkeye, Ronin, Black Widow, etc.?

A wall bounce would be pretty nice. It's just that with the breakable walls in XML and all, it would go through it every time...They did have something similar though. It would hit one guy and split and hit others. Ms. Marvel has this move in MUA. To me Cyclops is just as useful as Captain America and should have been in there...Especially with Corsair's appearance...He should also have a blast that allows you to hold down the button and keep the pressure on.

And a blast that allows you to hold down the button and depending on how long you hold it, you can increase the size and width of that blast.

Okay, just making sure cause the ending really makes you feel like crap when it tells you what happened cause one of them died. Thought maybe there was another way.

Agreed.

OMG Savage! I can't believe I didn't think of that. LIke Human Torch's Flame thrower... heck mayble two or three of his blasts could be like that... that'd be SICK! Definitely vintage cyclops right there... pour it on until there's simply nothing left.

I wanna see another game... perhaps an XML3 or MUA2 where Cyclops gets a chance to shine. And seriously, if they give him more weakling lines I'm going to shoot something.

I wonder what would be cooler, XML3 or MUA2... hmmm... if MUA2 is about Thanos (and not just Galactus) then I'm definitely down.

Another MUA2 idea: What if Galactus comes and actually devours the earth and most of the game is a time travel story where you take part in crucial parts of marvel history in order to change the past so that the Earth will be saved? Think of it: A series of top-notch Flashback missions...

Though with thanos, a set of flashback missions could be part of getting the Time Gem...

But I digress, give me a cool cyclops...

[Nathan]

Definitely a great idea. :up:

[Ravensford]

I just took a survey from E-rewards asking all about my thoughts for the Wolverine movie game! At the moment, they're going to try and go all the way back and start with James Howlet and give you all of Wolvie's history, including his time in Japan, all the wars he's fought in, Weapon X and everything up to current. They asked about cameos, costumes and play structure. It sounds really awesome!

That sounds pretty cool. I hope they make it free roam. I mean come on, when you're going back to the days of Origin, what else could it be? Either free roam or very limited...Then later be able to stage select and select which era Wolverine you want to play even.:up:

free roam wouldnt make sense, unless it was in small area sections... why? ummm because it'd take place in Canada, New York City, Japan, and god knows where else... all places you cant really walk from one place to the other in a short distance

I meant Hulk: UD style. Being able to level select...Hence the whole thing about being able to choose what era and what era Wolverine you'd like to play. Sure Hulk: UD was limited with it (desert, city. whooopeeee) but I think this one would be able to go further. I'd love for this game to play similar to Shenmue.

...But maybe I'm asking too much.

Remembering back, they also gave info on the possibility of three different branching paths for the game to take based on how you played. Meaning it would almost be 3 seperate games, each with a different ending as opposed to having the Watcher tell you what happens.

Wolverine game sounds cool...is it definitly happening? and is it based on the wolverine movie at all?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i got the GBA version of the game....
and it sux
and its nothing like the other consules
wtf u only play 1 character at a time!
one good thing though
Jean Grey is unlockable as a striker in it:yay:
so far (including unlockables)
it has 10 playables
and 6 striker

[Manic]

I'm so sorry.

Sorry you're one of the few people out there that still uses a GBA for handheld gaming.

[phoenix_force]

i know.............i lost my psp :o

[Savage]

Aw man. I am still hooked on this game. Was just reading Ultimate Power and I'm thinkin' it would be awesome if the next game went into other realities entirely. Like a level totally on the Marvel Zombie planet and another one where you fight the Squadron Supreme. What If levels would be pretty cool. :up:

Extremely cool... in such a case a time travel story might be the way to go. If the main villain is Kang who, inadvertently gives the Earth a chance to save itself from Galactus, then going back to classic missions (read: comic adventures) as well as alternate timelines (Marvel Zombies, various What Ifs, maybe even Squadron Supreme) and completing time-altering type mission goals... well it could be pretty cool, and would obviously be very epic. I would love that.

As long as Cyclops was playable, that is.

Time Travel. Now there's an awesome idea. :up: Cable would probably play a big role. So would the Exiles. AGE OF APOCALYPSE!:eek: Oh man, that would be awesome. Days of Future Past, House of M. Dracula. Lot's of possibilities in time travel and screwing with reality. Maybe Thanos as a villain. Throw guys like Ronan, Nova, and pretty much everyone from the Annihilation storyline. I'm pretty sure every universe can be thrown in there except Ultimate. They seem to be sticking to a mixture of that and 616.

Cyclops is a must and for god's sake, throw in Giant Man, Ant Man and The Wasp. Who cares if the last two sort of repeat? Blade and Nick Fury are essentially the same to play.

I've already paid for it 5 weeks ago but ****ing Amazon yet to deliver it :cmad:really? Damn man you should contact them, it shouldnt have taken that long. I ordered a couple dvds off amazon and they came in less than a week after they were shipped.

[Cyrusbales]

I get things on next day when I buy from Amazon, which is all the time, lol

[GL1]

Time Travel. Now there's an awesome idea. :up: Cable would probably play a big role. So would the Exiles. AGE OF APOCALYPSE!:eek: Oh man, that would be awesome. Days of Future Past, House of M. Dracula. Lot's of possibilities in time travel and screwing with reality. Maybe Thanos as a villain. Throw guys like Ronan, Nova, and pretty much everyone from the Annihilation storyline. I'm pretty sure every universe can be thrown in there except Ultimate. They seem to be sticking to a mixture of that and 616.

Wow. Yeah, Time travel DOES present a ton of opportunties... as long as Thanos' inclusion doesn't prevent him from mainlining the third one with the infinity gauntlets, I'm all for it.

Multiple Universes sound awesome, I'm thinking of having a puzzle that created a sort of randomized reality at some point and you have to go back in the past and each little thing you change has a definite effect on the "present" level. It could be updated in real time or something.

Cyclops is a must and for god's sake, throw in Giant Man, Ant Man and The Wasp. Who cares if the last two sort of repeat? Blade and Nick Fury are essentially the same to play.

Ugh. Blade and Deadpool were QUITE redundant to me. That said, the biggest challenge to me is giving the shrinkers variable gameplay... and you'd have to remember not to design levels too tight for Giant Man to grow in any area. It could be slightly awkward if he gets Sentinel big, but still playable. I think that bears investigation... especially with the way they did cap's shield.

And Kang, Immortus and Scarlet Guardian would be an awesome set of "villains" for this thing... heck, thrown in Iron Lad for good measure.

[Savage]

Giant Man growing Sentinel big is fine by me actually. :up: He'd be one hell of a bruiser. Ant Man and Wasp would be different with Ant-man's ability to control ants and Wasp's wasp stings. They should be able to grow and shrink at will during combos and such. Maybe even use it as a defensive. As an extreme movie Wasp can fly into the heads of each opponent and deliver wasp stings all around. Maybe leaving them dizzy/confused. Antman Could just swarm his enemies with ants.

I am honestly suprised they did not make it into this one, considering they're pretty prominent members of both The Avengers and The Ultimates.

I honestly don't mind repetition with characters, as long as they're fun. I usually pick characters based on preferences anyway, and not powers. If it was all about power, I'd just max out Surfer, Strange, Thor and The Thing.

[Savage]

Okay, can someone tell me how the f**k do you beat Wolverine's comic mission?!:mad: Jesus H. Christ, this thing is annoying. Isn't it bad enough having to deal with Warstar destroying these stupid things?

[Sparta*]

L,R,R,L,U,D,D,U,Start during gameplay really fast. Unlimited extreme attacks :up:

[Cyrusbales]

Giant man could be like juggs in XML2, where you can use an ability that makes him keep growing(made him the most powerful character in the game by miles though!)

[Savage]

...okay. Any way to beat it without cheating?...No? Aw nuts. :(

[Savage]

Veeery nice. I would love to see that. I want to see Giant Man kicking and smacking people around.

[Storm22]

Getting this game for the 360 for Christmas, loved XML and XML2 so looking forward to playing this! Can someone tell me though - which playable characters can fly/levitate and is that ability available straight away or do you have to unlock it?

[Savage]

You can do it immediately and you DON'T lose energy this time. :)
Spider-woman
Storm
Iron Man
Thor
Spider-Man(swinging)
Silver Surfer(unlockable)
Ms. Marvel
Human Torch (flames on and everything)

Can't really think of any others.

[Storm22]

And you don't lose energy?? That's cool! Do they fly in the same pose like in XML or slightly different? The 360 graphics look great too, nice improvement on the cell shaded XML graphics. Can't wait!

[Savage]

Every character flies their own way...Well the men fly differently from the women anyway.

Something I noticed about the comic book missions. Spider-man, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine. These all seem unique. Everyone else's is pretty much a beat-em up. Spider-man's mission in particular is practically a seperate game.

[Storm22]

Cool. I like the way they've updated Storm's tornado/whirlwind attack, looks more powerful and like the X3 spinning Storm attack.

[cyrus02pso]

I have been trying to unlock silver surfer but im lacking the black panther and dare devil sim discs... how do i get them?

[Cyrusbales]

cheat? lol surfer is a disapointing character, should be more powerful, and all his moves are either energy beam, or energy strike really, surfing could be more fun though, more like iceman's slide from XML

[Johnny Drama]

Silver Surfer has no alternate costumes...
:(

[Nathan]

What are you sad about? He never did have a alternate form or costume.

[Storm22]

So let me get this straight, there is a cheat to unlock all characters but on the 360 that cheat stops you getting any more achievement points, which I presume stops you upgrading characters powers etc. Is that the case? Also if you use that cheat do you only have to do it once and then save the game and next time you turn it on you'll still have all characters or do you have to do it every time you turn the game on?

It doesn't stop you from getting achievment points. You just won't get achievment points by USING the code. I managed to get achievment points just fine. Still managed to find 5 black panthers and 5 daredevils and got the points for them AFTER I already unlocked the characters using a code.

...Just wish the secret characters had missions. Nick Fury especially. I am absolutely crazy about that character.

[Johnny Drama]

True, but the lack of alternate costumes didn't stop Thor and Black Panther from having there native attire from there homeworld as playable skins. Why not Silver Surver?

[Red]

I Finaly Have This Game!

[Sparta*]

Dissapointing.........? Should be...more...powerful? Were we using the same Silver Surfer? He is IMO the strongest character in the game, and a staple on my team...especially during boss fights because of his insane offense and healing abilities.

I Finaly Have This Game!
Awesome! I was beginning to feel your pain :p

[Cyrusbales]

Awesome! I was beginning to feel your pain :p

I wanted lots of abilities, he has like 2 beam atacks, altho his cosim lightnin is cool, but still lacks something. Whilst healing is useful, it's not fun. His attacks aren't as powerful as some of the other characters, I still use him because he's cool, but they should have made his surfing more fun.

[_BB_]

Finally got my copy today but i cant have it until christmas, ah well, ive waited this long :D Got it from play.com just 4 days after ordering it with free delivery, forget Amazon, they take the piss :p

[cyrus02pso]

arg! i still need the last 2 discs!!!! where are they!!!???!?!?!?

[Havok83]

arg! i still need the last 2 discs!!!! where are they!!!???!?!?!?
it would help if you mentioned what 2 discs you are looking for

[HexualCirce]

can some one tell me which page the cheats are on please

[Nathan]

Cheats (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/code/932588.html)

[Storm22]

I don't really understand:huh: What exactly do achievement points do then? Are they like Experience points in XML and XML2? If you use the cheat does that mean you unlock the characters but don't get the achievement points you would have if you unlocked them without the code?? Can you still upgrade your character powers etc. if you use the cheat? Also do you have to keep entering the cheat everytime you turn on the game or can you enter it once, get all characters, save that game and you'll then have all characters again next time you play the game?

Basically I wanna know if it's worth using the cheat?

Do you own a 360? I only ask bc if you do, then you'd know what Achievement points are. If you dont own one, then dont even worry about this

[Storm22]

I have a 360 and MUA put away for Christmas, so yes I "own" a 360, I just haven't played it yet.

[Savage]

Well you get achievment points for certain things you do in every game. These actually add up on your 360 for a total score. I don't know what purpose it serves, but it's there.

[Storm22]

Ah I see! So it's a console related thing. Thanks Savage:up: I think I'll go ahead and use the cheat when I start playing so. Last question - do you have to keep entering it whenever you turn on the game or is it enough to enter once and save the game with all characters and then you have them next time you play?

[The Overlord]

Could someone list all the unique conversations that happen in the game?

[Sabretooth]

Does anybody else half expect Spider-Man to say ''Got it memorized?'' after everything he says? :csad:

nope, the character cheat once done is activated for all your saves

[GL1]

Silver Surfer has no alternate costumes...
:(

Examine the shine... they each have a slightly different reflective sheen.































Or not...

[cyrus02pso]

it would help if you mentioned what 2 discs you are looking for

i think black panther and daredevil

[Storm22]

Thanks:up:

[Havok83]

i think black panther and daredevil
I could be wrong but I dont beleive they have a simulator disc to find. I think its automatically given to you when you unlock them. At least I dont remember finding a disc

[Storm22]

Can Deadpool teleport in MUA, like he could in XML2?

[Savage]

Yyup. One of my favorite characters. He has some awesome moves in this. :up:

[Storm22]

Cool! Really can't wait to play this now!!! Also if you use the unlock all characters cheat how does that affect things when you get to the stage in the game when you unlock them normally? Do you get 2 DR. Strange characters eg?

[Savage]

Hmm. I've never tried that. There's something to do next time I play. I usually avoid those things.

Deadpool meeting Deadpool in XL2 was funny as hell though. :up:

[Storm22]

I unlocked all characters in XML and XML2 the normal way, without cheats, but It kinda sucked only being able to use characters like Iron Man and Deadpool for the last few levels. This time I wanna start off with all characters and be able to use them at the start of the game:up:

[Sparta*]

That's what I did in MUA, but not XML2. Don't worry, it won't screw anything up.

[Savage]

Well you could have done what I did and play it again with the new characters. That's a whole part of replay value. Playing with these newly acquired characters.

I couldn't wait to use cheats for this though. The characters are too awesome to wait on.

[Storm22]

I couldn't wait to use cheats for this though. The characters are too awesome to wait on.

Yeah that's the way I am. This game looks too good and I wouldn't have the patience to wait for characters. The temptation to unwrap my 360 now and start playing MUA is unbearable!!:woot:

[Havok83]

Ive been playing this game on the PC and its great playing hte game the way it was supposed to look. The next gen graphics look amazing and puts the PS2 to shame. Here are some screenshots of PC
