Marvel Ultimate Alliance is great fun

I keep meaning to buy it again to finish off some achievements.

Thought you were getting Lost Odyssey Daz? I need someone to go on and on about it with

Time's not right at the mo Jen, got a couple of big deadlines next week, and I'm travelling the week after that. Will get it when I'm not so busy

As a gaming newb where xbox games are concerned does anyone know what the Dynasty Warrior series is like? Just got a mail from Game saying that it's out next week and the screenies looked like fun

Thanks in advance.

I haven't played it too much yet but so far it's beautiful. Perhaps not to the same level of graphical scale as Mass Effect but it's very JRPG like which is excellent

The story hasn't quite got going yet but they never do with RPGs at this stage. The immortal thing seems quite intriguing though. And I love the little stories that pop up as you go along, it slows the game down but I've really enjoyed reading them.

The action is just like a FF game, I'd probably compare it most to FF8 so far in the battle system due to the 'trigger/ring' system being like the gunblade.

It's got a hell of a lot of promise for me

Hopefully I'll get to play it a lot this weekend.
Fingers crossed it isn't another Mass Effect/Eternal Sonata for me (great at the time but looking back, ultimately lacking in something).

It ROCKS, I've just got to the Staff and its getting hard already, may have to go and snag some random encounters to get my levels up!

Yay glad to see someone else feeling the same way

It's definitely one of the more challenging 360 RPGs I've played but that's a good thing.

I'm home early today so hopefully once I get some review work done, I can have a good go at this

Anyone getting Army of Two this week? The review on IGN gives it a 7.9 but it sounds like it'll be excellent in co-op mode
