    The Marvel hero Thor is named after the Nordic god of the same name. While the two share most of the same details, The Nordic Thor is immortal and bears red hair while Marvel’s Thor is blonde and corporeal. Read more

    If you're a fan of the X-Men Legends games that have appeared over the last few years you'll know what to expect from Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, but you'll probably still be surprised at how polished and lengthy the game is. Xbox 360 Achievement points are handled well too, rewarding players who put time and effort into the game, and a number of unlockables (including a hard mode that lets you import your beefed up team) are well worth playing for. Marvel fans shouldn't... Read more

    So what do you do in MUA? Well it's mostly an action game with elements of a light RPG. In general you run around a variety of levels in a third person view and beat up anything that gets in your way. Sounds simple and at times it certainly is and if this game was done wrong it could have all gone badly very quickly. But because of the wide variety of heroes you get to play and that each has a long list of special powers and abilities, it is almost always exciting and... Read more

    My boys are 6 and 4. The 3 of us play together and we just have a blast. There are so many characters to choose from, so many moves that each can do. You can master one character and then still have 19 others you haven't touched. As you play each character builds strength, and earns or unlocks more moves. So you want to play them all to earn what they can do. We play it for nearly an hour every day we have so much fun with it. We have been playing for months and it is... Read more

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Well as a comic fan I have to admit I loved this game the opening sequence had me punching the air (not really), There are multiply heroes to play with throughout the game even some cult heroes make and appearance along with some relative unknown bad guys. As a fan I loved the story but as a gamer found the game play boring, it was the same thing over and over again. But due to the story I found it very addictive, I loved at the end how your...
