Okay, to be blunt, everything about this game makes me sick. Let me start at the game description. It promises 24 players, including Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch. However, the DS game offers only 15 heroes, and the Human Torch and Mr. Fantastic are not playable.
Also, unlike the original Ultimate Alliance, this version only offers four super powers for each character. In the original, you had a whole arsenal of super powers that were actually pretty cool. In this game: you stick with what you got. The ability to change your uniform at will is excluded, too.
Another problem, the biggy, the main reason I bought the game: fusions. The description made it sound so glorious: fantastic combinations; a fiery tornado; over 250 unique combos! In fact, the "fusions" are just each character performing their regular special moves with no hint of combination. Yes: Wolverine will still run around in a circle waving his claws no matter who he is teamed up with. And yes: Thor does the exact same special move when teamed with Storm as he does with Hulk.
So, pretty much the only positive thing out of that mess of a game was that there wasn't any annoying loading screen every time you enter a new room. Still, I would take the loading screen if they actually put some effort into making this game likable.
