This is definitely one of the greatest games i have ever played. But...the key thing i would like to note is that i played this game entirely with some cousins and friends. And when i played it myself...i would definitely say that it is lots of fun when playing with others because of the combos you can do together...a.i. is always off. It has a great range of characters to play with and has a phenomenal lasting plot/story. I played it several of times with many different characters and never got tired because of the seemingly endless array of possibilities with buying upgrades and abilities of the different characters. Buy this game if you are a Marvel maniac or if you want a game similar to Xmen legends 1/2, or want to know how the first game was before the second one came out. I can't wait for the second Ultimate alliance to come out this September, but until then I will remain a true Marvel maniac and replay this game in its entirety.
