Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

I was glad to find out this game is set to be on the WII, which I'll be picking up within the next couple of months...

The Marvel Universe comes together in this multiplayer co-op action/beat 'em up with RPG elements. It looks great, the selection of characters is fucking remarkable, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, not to mention the ability to get in there 2-player will have to be some kickass fun...just thinking of what teams will work together could be awesome.
Cable, Ghost Rider, daredevil, spider-man, thor, but to mention a few...and, fucking DEADPOOL!
Each with their own storylines and stages too by the looks of things.

Dunno if it's currently out yet, but this looks like one hell of a game.
Check out the vids over at http://au.ps2.ign.com/objects/762/762691.html#reviews
Glad something worth immediate purchase with the launch of the WII.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the "heavy hitters" perform in this one...Thor? Silver Surfer...etc, some of the fights'll have to be pretty intense to warrant their kinda power levels.
I have a feeling this one'll take out "best comic-based game ever", by the look of it. Can't wait.

The new JLA one looks ok...and I'll probably get that too, but, there's no mistaking that M:UA looks waaaaaaay better.

I doubt I'll get it sense it's got the same play style as X-men legends.

Nope...Legends was turn-based no?
This one definately doesn't look that way...

You must be thinking of something else, Legends had an awesome battle engine. Far from "turn based".

If you havent check out Legends, I very highly recomend that you do so. Even though this one could easily beat it, Legends is without a doubt the best Marvel game that Ive played.
