Has anyone played this co-op over Live? I'm considering buying the game next week, along with a couple friends, but wanted to hear your impressions first.
I'm mostly concerned about lag, glitches and overall gameplay.
Thanks!

its an ok game from what i played but i really want to play the game start to finish with a group of people. I played online co-op for 2-3 hours and then i played offline...and they wanted to go from the start so i played the same 2-3 hours over.
Hopefully ill at least get around to beating it before the next one comes out.

I haven't played it online, but I can tell you about the gameplay.
Frankly, I was getting pretty bored near the end, and my friend and I just wanted to beat it out of principle. I think we got burned out on the gameplay after playing X-Men Legends 2 together, then playing this together. It's the same stuff over and over, and while it was really really fun in XML2, it got tired in MUA.

I was concerned about this, as well. I played XL2 quite some time ago, so I don't think I'll get bored too quickly with Marvel. I've since played a lot of other types of games in between, so I'm ready for more of the same as the XL games. I'll be playing with my brother-in-law, who has played both XL games with me, and another friend who hasn't played either of them. I just hope he doesn't think it's too repetitive (although, it likely will be).

Yeah, I mean we both had about a year gap in between the two games, but still, since both games were about 15-20 hours in length, thats around 40 hrs of the same button smashing over and over. But, I mean I still recommend the game especially if you have people to play with, but I would not pay $60 for it.

I am hoping to get it for $29.99 next week.:)
