Title: Marvel Ultimate Alliance's level design is atrocious
Post by: Eel O'Brian on January 28, 2007, 12:51:02 AM

I've been running around in circles for 20 minutes on the Mandarin level.  I want to break my controller across the face of whoever thought making every room look exactly the same was a good idea.

It was, up until this level.  Everything looks the same, and there's all these hidden doors and other bullshit.  Plus, The Grey Gargoyle is surrounded by shaolin healers who regenerate his health.  Bosses who regenerate health are the bullshitiest video game cliche in the book.  Otherwise, it's a good game so far, but this level just sucks all around.

It's not that bad of a level... I ran through it on Hard Mode in a jiff.

Okay, the next level (Arcade's Murderworld) makes up for the crappy Mandarin level.  Lots of fun, and a sense of humor.  You actually play Pitfall at one point, with your character as Pitfall Harry.  It goes on for too long, but it's inventive.

dumbest fucking plot ever, it's such a LAME excuse to assemble more than a hundred Marvel characters together... the "Masters of Evil"? gimme a fucking break

it's a good, solid game, but terribly lacking in variety, it's basically another Diablo clone but without the soul or the challenge... the plot actually works and some of the humor is good

some of the levels look pretty sweet looking too, my favorites were the Atlantis one (under the sea), and Arcade's level

The Mandarin level was really the only one I hated.  The Atlantis one was close, though.

I liked the game a ton.  It wasn't an A-list title, but it was solid quality, and it didn't feel like a rush job.
