This was the first video game I ever played. While raven's evident enthusiasm for the source material and appealing presentation compared to other budget titles of the era are notable, Marvel Ultimate Alliance can be a somewhat entertaining romp for comic fans, and a droll slog for everyone else. Also the game is completely unbuyable anywhere thanks to a copyright dispute between activision and disney, not to mention that the "remastered" version that was available on steam for a short time is extremely slapdash and buggy.
