"At first glance it looks like 'Ulimate Alliance', which many people got free when they shelled out hundreds for the Xbox 360, actually is worth your time. Unlike most Marvel games, where operative player mode isn't complicated and if anything is actually inviting. You begin trying to stop a flying aircraft for the superhuman organization 'The S.H.E.I.L.D." lead by Nick Fury and continue learning the full plot of the Masters of Evil and Dr. Doom. The best part about this game is that the true 'evil plan' of ring leader Dr. Doom isn't revealed until the very end; leaving you clueless about what optional missions you should choose or dismiss. At the start of the game you will have Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, and Wolverine on your team; as you continue to win missions you will have up to 18 characters to choose from.

One thing is certain, it may seem easy to beat the 'bosses' of each level at the beginning, but the game evolves as you do. It personally took me a week to beat the game and that was even when I had the capacity 4 players fighting with me at some points. However, you will encounter 'simulator discs' that you can retrieve, (the same you as would health or coins), which allows you to unlock characters and extra special features. Beware, those 'mini-missions' are just as tricky and difficult as the main objectives you will receive form 'The S.H.E.I.L.D'. Raven Software, who creates the game definitely has raised the bar from 'X-Men Legends 1 &2'.
