Somehow, we've got a feeling your reaction to this video will definitely be a mix of "Oh wow, that's cool!" exclamations and laughter at the actors in this next video. Somehow, we share your sentiments, if only because we also have a Spider-man wannabe addiction as well.

Activision's got a new promotional trailer up for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, which features a bunch of people doing the motions for controlling the characters using the Wiimote and nunchuck combination. For instance, Spider-man uses his web to grab enemies and whirl them around, and you can do that by flicking your wrist in a circular motion when you've got a baddie caught in your web. The Human Torch, on the other hand, can unleash his special attack after you cross the Wiimote and Nunchuck to make an X and then switch into your regular stance. It's kinda like the way Wolverine prepares his claws and enters his battle stance before attacking.

Does it sound confusing? Don't worry, there's a reason why we love embedded videos, and that's so you guys can watch what we watch as well. So, for now, enjoy the video, and tell us: don't those people in the party look a little too enthusiastic over flailing their arms wildly and feeling like they're Spider-man and the Human Torch?

I was never one for the hack and slash type games, but this looks pretty fun, especially multiplayer. Being your favorite superhero seems a lot more fun when you can pretend to have their powers. I don't know a single boy who didn't grow up pretending to be Spiderman, Superman or even stuff like G.I. Joes. I think the Wii version will probably sell the most, especially to comic book enthusiasts.

I think that these graphics aren't all that bad at all. Compared to the PS3 and X360 the Wii doesn't stand that far behind as most people say. In the PS3 and X360 the graphics look a bit too blurry and whiteish, don't you think. But any who, I guess thats what those two consoles think is the meaning of "Next-Gen" having really whiteish glowy kinds of graphics.
