Marvel Ultimate Alliance Preview

WorthPlaying has put together a quick preview of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the upcoming comic book action RPG from Activision and Raven Software. A teaser:
Ultimate Alliance also features online cooperative play, just as X-Men Legends II did, with players cooperating to defeat enemies while simultaneously competing for experience and kills. Each of the playable heroes also brings a special (heroic mission) to the table, where one player takes control of a superhero while the other three control three of that hero's signature villains. You can opt to beat the hell out of your buddy in a three-on-one handicap match, or throw the fight on purpose so you can continue with the game.
