Heroes fighting Heroes,
Nice graphics lead the way,
Bad camera angles.

A bad haiku for an otherwise fun game, getting in the thick of it is what this game is all about, the fusion attacks are the real attraction in this game with more than 250 possible combos make for some impressive room sweeping attacks. Collesion detection is pretty much spot on, voice acting seems dull and dry in places, Spiderman's zingers lack some pop. Camera controls will give some hassles, lack of zooming or being able to direct the camera to see whats attacking you offscreen will cause a few headaches.

There are some fun minigames to be played, definately want some friends to play this with. Only 25 heroes total once the full roster is unlocked, can expect more in the form of DLC.

You might want to considering expanding on this review. Like, a lot. One paragraph will not be enough to convince anyone of anything, one way or another.

Sure I could fill 2 or 3 pages with fawning fluff or a diretribe that would make Yahtzee himself sit in a quiet corner and realise how much praise he has lavished on each of his reviews, but I don't write like that. A few good points and bad points is all a review really needs, any more than that and you risk posting spoilers, and most people don't like spoilers.

You could always compare it to the first Ultimate Alliance, or even the preceding X-Men Legends titles, expanding on the differences in gameplay and such. I think that's what is meant by "your review was short" - you may be making a fair point, but you come from no clear point of reference.

Starting with a haiku is a neat idea, but a paragraph explaining the haiku isn't much of a review. Think less about summarizing the content, and more about making what you have to say as relatable as it is relevant.

Was there a point to that post? All you are doing is flaming the Wii, and half of your argument is wrong. Wii games do have DLC. And even so, flaming about it doesn't mean it is bad.

OT: Try making your review longer, it is lacking and an expansion on many of your points might help. As Captain Crunch said, comparing it to it's predecessor or other games like it might help.

I was going to buy it, but it turned out Cyclops was only in the Wii version, so no eye lazors 4 me :(

I'll await a price drop or DLC and find other ways to entertain myself instead ^^

What kind of game is it? Is there an online mode? What's the story like? Should I rent or buy? What is a fuison attack? Is there seperate stories for each character? You need much more depth in your review, a few lines are not going to cut it.

Never played the legends or the previous MUA game, the stores in my area don't sell games much older than 6 months unfortunately.

In hindsight it probably could have used a little more depth, say an extra paragraph.

Yeah that was quite sad.

Without Tony Jay. :(
