The trailer looks awesome.

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

Really? That's cool...it was mainly the fact it looked turnbased that turned me off of it, even though I thought it looked great. Well, might pick it up sometime in future after all.
Although, I have to say, that this new Ultimate Alliance still looks like a completely different kind of game to that...to put a crap name on it, it looks like an rpg with beat em up elements...I just can't wait to play this game. 2-player is gonna be so funny.

We got this game the day it came out and it's still sealed. Terrible, I know...but we'll be playing it Friday night with some friends. Hopefully it's one I can do at LEAST ok with. I'm pretty bad with the X-Box 360 controller. I can't play anything I have to manually control the camera in.:rolleyes:

[Phalanx]

I feel that.
I can't play a LOT of 3rd person games on account of the camera stuff, having to move it with one of the analogue sticks anyway. The system where you can rotate the cam using the shoulder buttons is ok and usually doable, but unfortunately not many games have that as an available option.
However, this one doesn't look as though it camera angles will really be an issue...

I'd play this just for Deadpool....

Yes! It's that damn stick. I'm all over the place with it. And then once I actually get to control it alright I start thinking too much about it and fuck it up again. Anyways, yeah, you're right it probably won't be an issue. Espescially since I'll be playing 4 player. I'll try and report my opinion of it Saturday.

Anyone actually played this yet?
Just wondering, since (hopefully) it'll be one of the titles I'm buying alongside the WII.

It's good but monotonous. I was disappointed with multiplayer and online playing, and apparently it's hard to see (ask Marroe about that one). If you're a comic fan it's a great buy, everyone else rent it.

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.

he speaks the truth and is marvel seriously coming out with a MMO????

i guess it would be like"city of heroes"
