Review | Game review: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2 are oldies but goodies
You might expect a pair of fighting games from 2006 and 2009 to be too old to provide much fun, but Marvel aficionados will find much to entertain them
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2
Activision
3½ stars
I consider myself a pretty competent geek. But when the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games were released to the previous generation of consoles (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360), I wasn’t nearly geeky enough to appreciate them. I had never heard of Elektra or Dr Strange, not to mention some of the lesser know heroes like Black Panther.
A decade has passed since the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance came out, and I’ve watched way more Marvel movies and TV shows than I though I would. That includes all three Iron Man movies, two Thor movies, two Captain America movies, two Incredible Hulk movies, two Avengers movies (haven’t seen the new one yet), two seasons of the Daredevil Netflix show and one season of the Jessica Jones show.

My wife is just as crazy about the Marvel properties as I am now, and couldn’t wait to play a co-op fighting/role-playing game in the universe we’re familiar with.
