  • Marvel Midnight Suns is out and gives me that Marvel Ultimate Alliance energy. By that, I mean a group of heroes or villains both well known and not so well known teaming up to take on a grand threat. This trilogy means so much to me and now is the perfect time unpack why so many people value this series.

Though I thought that being able to play as vilians in MUA 2 was pretty cool.

    Met one of my best online friends playing the first Ultimate Alliance game on the OG Xbox. Still talk to him to this day from time to time! So many hours put into this game. I remember him and I were devastated when Ultimate Alliance brought DLC characters to the PS3/360 versions of the game while the PS2/Xbox versions got left out. Me and him got so mad we actually called up Activisions customer service line to complain. We ended up getting our 360s around the time Halo 3 dropped and ran through Ultimate Alliance a few more times! Such good memories.

    The character for me that I discovered and loved ever since was both iron fist and moon knight. Ghost rider and blade were also amazing, but I really like iron fist with the chi and moon knight being Batman but with a white costume. And learning moon knight kills! Like Batman could never.
    But in defense of ultimate alliance 3, I think of it more of a milestone in history. At the time, we had to distinguish who had what rights to everything. Sony was still "in charge" with the producing and whatnot for spiderman as the Tom Holland movies were still in respects to Sony. Not to mention the multiverse movies still haven't came out at the time. With everything still seemingly segregated as to what properties are owned by what company, it was crazy to see ALL of these franchises back in one place. Crazier that Spider-Man was in a Nintendo exclusive game. Then to top it off, fantastic four dlc along with a campaign that almost acted like a fantastic 4 movie. That's not even mentioning the x men finally getting back with the avengers and going to the Xavier mansion and seeing juggernaut tear it down and getting locked in the danger room. Marvel vs Capcom couldn't even have mutants and I think it released a year before. So even tho I really hate playing the game, it has the most characters, it includes an arc in attilan, it actually reboots some character personalities that mix comic and movie iterations, and it jump started the license sharing that is somehow already being over saturated.

My little bro and some of my friends growing up and I all played XML2 extensively, hundreds of hours spent because while MUA builds on XML in meaningful ways, we always felt like XML2 was a truer RPG experience and we felt like our character/team builds had more weight behind them. Truly fantastic games.

    Great video my man. Literally most of our childhoods summed up tbh. I'll say Ultimate Alliance: Special Edition or Gold Edition will ALWAYS be the standard next to X-Men Legends II & Marvel vs Capcom 2 as far as Marvel Games. MUA2 wasn't bad I just disliked the fusion moves in lieu of the ultimate attacks from the first title. Definitely made each character feel less unique. Haven't gotten around to trying MUA3 yet but definitely plan on getting a Switch just to play it. I'd also recommend to anyone to check out X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse on the SNES, amazing soundtrack, as well as X-Men Children of The Atom on the PS1!

    Probably an unpopular opinion but i love the third game the most.

    I think the main problem of all three games is that the enemy AI is not very good, which is why they all end up being mindless button smashers eventually.

    I think Marvel's Avengers could have served the same function, if it wasn't so focused on AIM (the setting is more similar to MUA2 than the original game). Hope the game manages to really expand in the future, but I'm sadly sceptical.

    First ultimate alliance really got me into marvel stuff when it first came out in high school. I liked marvel but I only really knew the X-men, iron man, hulk, and Spider-Man from their animated series in the 90s, and then blade from the movie. After this game, I got exposed to so many others and basically got me completely hooked into the comic books

  • @icarusgaming6269
    @icarusgaming6269 Рік тому +2

    That's certainly an interesting collector's item... but the contents aren't that unique. What you've got there is a downsized reprint of Civil War #1 by Mark Millar with the cover art changes to that of the game. I have the full size version of this issue from Comic Con '08, so I recognized it instantly. To make things more confusing, one of the cutscenes in the game is actually a panel-for-panel recreation of the entire issue, a bit of fancservice I always adored as the UA universe and the comic universe briefly reconverge. I never realized just how highly they hold this book
    Jean and Nightcrawler weren't playable in vanilla UA1 because they spent the rest of the game recovering from their trauma at the hands of Mefisto. Nightcrawler was only added in the DLC, which came with other continuity errors such as talking to Bruce Banner *as* the Hulk

    For anyone wanting to get a good look into the marvel universe, this is an EXCELLENT start. I wish I could say the movies are too, but as fun as they are, a lot of movie adaptions tend to completely alter the essence of characters for the sake of general audience appeal. I'm happy the MCU has done what it's done, don't get me wrong, but a LOT of misconceptions about characters has come out of it (for a recent example, RIP Moon Knight fans lol). That said, this series is a great pallet cleanser and introduction into what a lot of these characters are ACTUALLY like. It's great!

    MUA 1 is my favorite too, and looking into the mods to add or switch out characters for it. For anyone who is new to Marvel Comics, MUA is definitely a great door because it takes the player all over the Major character story arcs in the Marvel Universe. If you are only familar with X-Men? Then get a bit of Fantastic Four, Avengers, when different levels facing different Marvel properties, definitely satisfying.

  • @kaizerwave6185
    @kaizerwave6185 6 місяців тому +1

    Ive just said this in another video recently lol, but personally, even tho MUA had better worlds to explore and go thru, MUA3's gameplay all throughout the game just felt so much better to play on repeat. Character Variety was much more of a thing compared to 1 and 2, even down to the basic attacks. Sure, it didnt have the same light-heavy chains that 1 and 2 had, but every character had those same attacks, so everyone was the same in the game, only being differentiated by their specials, and the special grabs you could do, so it could be boring pretty quickly when playing by yourself, compared to 3, where you could use Spider-Man, and stuff like his heavy attack could lead right into his double jump swinging, so you could just attack and just swing on, playing more into the agility of this character, and thats only one of them (This roster is huge). I also like how the difficult the game can be, compared to 1 and 2, where those games felt easy throughout, especially when you level up, no matter the difficulty, compared to 3, where the challenges can rise up very quickly. Thanks the dlc too, it also has so much content to go thru. Of course, the game is still very different from the others, I'd go and even say the gameplay is closer to Dynasty Warriors than the original MUA, but personally, I like that, even with no grabs. The visual style of the game is very different from the others obviously, but I very much like the blend of comic and slight realism they tried with this game, which works especially for the Switch hardware, and is honestly the kinda style that should've been done for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. The level up system is also very different and more common in mobile games now, compared to the previous games, but I dont mind it at all. I dont care for leveling up my stats even more in this game, since just leveling up my characters in general already does that, but if you want to to have very good stats in general to go thru the game at ur own difficulty, thats totally fine, and while i dont edit the crystals I get, I like how i can equip crystals that go very well with the attributes of each characters, like a crystal that enhances shock values of a character like Thor (MUA1 has something similar with the items that are dropped when beating bosses, but imo i care for those even less). All in all, MUA3 is pretty different from the other 2, but from really a gameplay perspective, I prefer 3 the most outta the trilogy, I haven't gotten bored with this game yet, so its a big solid reccomendation, and the one I'd recommend first.

    • @NeightrixPrime
      @NeightrixPrime Місяць тому

      MUA3 forces you to take mandatory damage because enemy attacks are very fast and you can no longer block/dodge cancel out of animations. I don't see how it can feel better when it is explicitly more more restrictive, and at times forces you to grind just so you can complete parts of the game.

    Absolutely love the first MUA game. It came with my original 360. The only thing that I didn't like was that the game didn't truly have a new game plus. Those pre rendered cutscenes still look great today.
    MUA2 was a step down but still a really good game, I think I've actually pumped more hours into it then the first one, mainly because I never played it until other was available on PS4.
    Never played the third one, but I'm currently going through the spiritual predecessor in Xmen Legends.

    It would be, if it were still available digitally. I’d buy it in a heartbeat if it still was on Steam. At first, I thought it was pretty boring until I found out you could switch your powers in-game. The only reason I found that out is modding, and the scene is incredible. There’s so many new characters, costumes, and powers that modders have implemented by now. Some aren’t as good as others, and they’re on a forum in which plenty don’t have pictures so you have to experiment. Most of the mods are really nice and expansive.
