Raven software's Marvel Ultimate Alliance, is, in it's own right, a large PS2 game... That said...
The movies, the biggest incentive to continue the journey are sparse. And although the voice-acting is impressive, and delightfully riddled with marvel universe tie-ins; the script is filled with clichés and overall boring writing. The animations are non-existent in the talking scenes, which also adds to a removing experience. The game could've used a closer and more intense third-person [split-screen] experience, with more environment interactions... Like the spider man games. (Just as an example of the bigger landscapes and exiting viewpoints.)
They could also do away with the subtitles as well as missing animation and camera angles in the talking scenes.
Oh yeah and more of the movies.
And not those cheap ones in the mission briefings.
I know this is a 'the glass is half empty' review... And it is a pretty good game... Just not next-gen material.
