Still one of my all time favorites. MUA1 was one of the very first games I got with the Xbox 360 back in 2007, and it's only gotten better with age. Literally. Thanks to Steam Input, it's easy to fix the controller issues that plagued this port back when Activision dropped it, and now it runs like a charm. Don't know how much of that is pure luck, but I can't complain.
Growing up, Ultimate Alliance was my gateway to the greater Marvel universe, outside of Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four. I still remember scrolling through my old Marvel encyclopedia, seeing if I could track down all the lip service this game pays to the comics. All of these characters still mean a lot to me. And you know what, no matter how much modern perceptions about this universe are affected thanks to the MCU and other oversaturated nonsense, I'm still going to hold this game as the Marvel I choose to remember above all else. Accept no substitutes. 'nuff said
