Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
“Marvel: Ultimate Alliance” is the equivalent to video game junk food – glorious fluff. Players command up to four superheroes from an impressive roster that includes major leaguers like Spider-Man, Wolverine and Captain America, as well as fan favorites like Ghost Rider and Deadpool. Marvel fans –and our reviewer, Winda Benedetti, have lavished praise on the game — but which which version should you pick?
Again, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are nearly identical. Nearly. At its highest high-def setting, 1080p, the PS3 version features a slightly overall sharper look. The game also employs some neat lighting effects that trump the Xbox 360 version, too.
However, the Xbox 360 version boasts a better frame rate, and in an action game like “Marvel,” smoother gameplay is more important than cool special effects. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 version feature online multiplayer.
The Wii version of “Marvel” does not feature online multiplayer, and it takes a steep graphical hit. Attacks and maneuvers normally triggered to controller buttons are assigned to motions with the Wii remote, such as swiping downward to perform a slam attack. (The motion-sensitive PS3 controller sports a few similar features.)
Hardcore gamers, the type normally attracted to beat-'em-ups like “Marvel,” will likely prefer the traditional controls of the Xbox 360 and PS3 -- and enjoy the extra visual polish, as well.
