Marvel Ultimate Alliance (2006) was a fantastic coop experience

Sadly, it didn't age well at all. I bought the remastered version couple of years ago and it is simply not fun to play. Which is a shame since this was a personal favorite of my, growing up.
Good thing MUA3 exists. It has a fantastic roster and does button mashing brainless Marvel gamr thing so good.

Nice game, me and a mate played through it back in the day and had a lot of fun with it. Not 100% sure how well it has held up, I played it again a few years ago and found it a tad stiff compared to more modern top down brawlers. That said, it still was great for its time. I especially liked the diversity in the areas and characters you play as and fight. It seemed like a real good loveletter to the Marvel universe as a whole.
It's the complete opposite for me. Absolutely hate MUA3, it's so mind numbing and they didn't even try with the story.
The OG X-Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance games are so much better than that trash.
A great experience that I haven't been able to find for Xbox One after the delisting, no matter how hard I try 😔
Love the Ultimate Alliance games and the X-Men Legends games before them. MUA3 definitely has the most content, and an awesome hero selection, but I wasn't a big fan of them making synergies be the only moves that do good damage. By the time you get to end-game content, your moves outside of synergies are useless. I also missed being able to slot skill points into character moves, which was removed in MUA3.
Unfortunately, I found that most of the heroes powers and synergies have been a lot more homogenised. It feels a lot more repetitive than the earlier UA/Xmen legends games.
Remember to avoid the PS3 version of the first game if you're thinking about going back to these
The first one was a casualty of those early PS3 games that reflected the difficult programming. I'm talking 10-20 FPS through much of it. There's no trophy support either if you're worried about keeping your gamer score on one platform.
I think the second one is fine supposedly.

One of my sisters loved playing Deadpool because that he could self-heal in the game. It was one of the few coop games we all had fun playing together.
Only played MUA3. I liked it, if not very repetitive with similar style moves for many heroes. But it still has the slickest, most awesomest, most true-to-comic-look characters designs in recent years (a major grievance I have with most Marvel/DC games). Still has some of the nicest character render art as far as licensed hero games go. Very glad they moved away from the drab movie look earlier games went with.
