	I never played the first one, but as the second is based on the Marvel Civil War (which I love)... anyone else looking forward to this, or can give me a viewpoint of Ultimate Alliance 1? -----signature----- Darth Insipid Proud Fan of the Tragedy of Jacen Solo Missing Chapters of Invincible; Teaser of Chapter 9.5 is up!

	Do you have a 360 or PS3? I'd suggest picking up the original as it came out very very close to the launch of each console IIRC (I had it on the original Xbox), ergo; cheap. I think it can even be downloaded through Xbox Live. What viewpoint are you after? Gameplay? Put simply, think of Final Fight/Streets of Rage, make it 3D, change it to an overhead view, and you control one in a group of four superheroes which you can switch between on the fly. Add in unlockables like extra costumes and characters as you go, experience points for each team member to unlock new abilities/improve their effectiveness and it's a pretty good formula in my opinion. Online co-op would make this full of win. I don't know if this was an option on the original 360/ps3 version. I don't know how the Marvel continuity works in relation to the Star Wars one but if it's similar it must be Alternate Universe, quite a few people bite it which makes the scale of the game feel a bit grander. I can't remember for definite but I believe the enemies effectiveness scales with your own character levels. -----signature----- Excellence - "'Cause some American-accent informed me Kun is Koon and Yun is Yoon doesn't mean I'm going to Megazord myself into robotic obediance."

	I enjoyed the first game, I also enjoyed both X-men: Legends game. I'm pretty sure that they used the same engine for all three, though I'm not sure.

	The latest game will have an upgraded system. Very similar to the original and X-Men: Legends, but obviously improved. -----signature----- "Mine." +Oderint Dum Metuant+ Berserkers are born, they are not made.

	Anyone else get this? I got it on Tuesday. I like it a lot so far. Almost done with Act 2 on the Anti-Registration side. The fusion moves with the characters are awesome. Deadpool/Storm = Win

	Deadpool/anything= win. Doesn't matter if we're talking about games or not So they're working Civil War into this game? Neat- might have to pick this one up evebtually even though I only played a little of the first (any word if the Wii version still uses nunchuk tilting to control the camera? cause that bugged the hell outta me in the first game cause me or my friend would do it by accident absent-mindedly). -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Yes I HATED that about the Wii version of the original. If you didn't hold your hand absolutely still and straight up and down the camera spun around constantly. Highly annoying. -----signature----- "A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto San Jose Sharks:15-5-4 Defending President's Trophy Winners

	The2ndQuest posted: So they're working Civil War into this game? Neat. Apparently it starts with the Secret War and moves into the Civil War. That's the entire plot. Which is very neat - and the only reason I care about the game at all. Which is also mildly sad. -----signature----- Darth Insipid Proud Fan of the Tragedy of Jacen Solo Missing Chapters of Invincible; Teaser of Chapter 9.5 is up!

	I'm having a hard time getting the stats off auto upgrade, even on Legendary difficulty. RPG aspects? Where? -----signature----- "A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto San Jose Sharks:15-5-4 Defending President's Trophy Winners

	Does the game have local co-op? I'm going to buy it on my way home from work and need to know if I also need to fork out for a new PS3 controller. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed
