I am now the proud owner of Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the PS2. Huzzah! Only after looking in three stores before hand!
I was most overjoyed to see that Deadpool was a playable character. Does it make me abad person if I get a little thrill out of popping a cap in the ass of various Marvel villains?
Nick Fury is a bit cack though.
Everybody else in the game is okay, though. The Silver Surfer can zizz around on his surfboard, Ghost Rider belches fire at people, Black Panther is voiced by the same guy that did Green Lantern in the Justice League cartoon, plus... Symbiote Spidey!
You can even pick up weapons that enemies have dropped. What's not to love about Deadpool clobbering a troll with an Asgardian spiked mace?
Then there's the villains... Bullseye, Fin Fang Foom, the Mandarin, the Wrecking Crew, Enchantress, Loki, Galactus, and DOCTOR DOOM!!
Love the extra costumes too. The aforementioned Symbioyte Spidey, Beta Ray Bill, old-school Daredevil (the yellow-and-red one), Captain America as USAgent, Heroes for Hire Luke Cage, and so on.
Plus: Ultimate Cap and/or Nick Fury (Boo! Hiss!) I don't care if Ultimate Fury does look like Samuel L Jackson, he's still a dick!
Presently, my team consists of Deadpool (like you didn't see THAT coming), Heroes For Hire Luke Cage, Armoured Daredevil, and Stealth Elektra. Fun! Yah! Take THAT, Ice Giants!
It's apity that you can't play as any of the villains, though. Imagine what choas could be wrought if you could play as Dr Doom, Fin Fang Foom, Galactus, and Loki!
DOOM: 'BLASTED RICHARDS!!'
FIN FANG FOOM: 'FIN FANG FOOM PUT YOU IN HIS PANTS!!'
Galactus: 'I CARE NOT FOR THE OPINIONS OF LESSER MORTALS CONCERNING MY HAT!!'
Loki: 'THOR IS A BIG STUPID HEAD!!'
