Team Ninja seems to have taken the project seriously but created a game that does not lead the genre or the series anywhere and does not fill in the gaps left by Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

The scope of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is impressive. The story is all about fan service, but its fun, enjoyable fan service. The game is fun solo, though multiplayer is ideal. The drop-in, drop-out multiplayer makes that a breeze, and the Switch's portability and connectivity make it easy to find opportunities to play. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a grand, action-packed celebration of the Marvel Universe that fans won't want to miss out on.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 The Black Order is the ultimate cross-over for every fan and gamer at heart. The simple, but fun gameplay is challenging and the roster of characters is by far the best point here. It's a solid dungeon crawler, with minor flaws.

The environments, voices, and the general feel is strong. Obviously, the camera issues and endless corridors can drag down moments of the fun, but the action keeps everything flowing and enjoyable. The action never stops, which is the ultimate strength of the title.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 places dozens of Marvel superheroes in your hands, so you can enjoy cooperative but a little simplistic beat'em up.

What it lacks in gameplay is made up with a huge playable character roster and a fun story. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is a great fanservice game especially if you have enjoyed the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a more-than-solid release that will interest most Switch owners. While some fans of the original games might have gripes, it's still likely to be a solid choice.

The simple synergy-focused combat can be fun with some friends, but Ultimate Alliance 3's padded plot proves pernicious for its diverse cast of wretchedly one-note characters. Add to that a campaign that's poorly paced and painfully inconsistent performance, and you're left with a repetitive and unexpectedly plain package that doesn't adequately justify the revival of a franchise.

comics and co-op fans will find it quite enjoyable. I mean you will find yourself setting at the edge of your seat with every character introduction but you have to willing to look past few flaws like Nintendo Switch online system, Outdated camera angles, and stupid AI.

A decent action game with a lot of Marvel characters that is fun thanks to varied roster and good combat system. But its level design and inadequate camera are really disappointing.

As a whole, Ultimate Alliance 3 is an immensely enjoyable game that really reminded me how much I love Marvel’s wealth of characters.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is a standard, run-of-the-mill, hack and slash action RPG. Its shining moment squarely falls on the shoulders of its Infinity mode, with boss fights flying by in a close second. But its lack of polish and attention to detail means gameplay falls by the wayside, leaving a gaping, sore wound that no ultimate alliance can solely heal. Nothing more than a fun beat ‘em up that’s best played with friends, not CPUs.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is best enjoyed in co-op mode for short bouts of time, as otherwise it feels repetitive and uninspired despite packing some simple, yet interesting combat mechanics.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is as good of a multiplayer brawler as it is an ode to the best of Marvel Comics.
