BUTTON MASHERS UNITE

This game takes no skill whatsoever. I won't get into the semantics of what Capcom games rise above the rest, but I think it's generally agreed upon in the fighting game community that the 'versus' series is for morons and children. I will admit that at first, I liked the game somewhat, but the noveltly soon wore off when I realized I could either carefully execute team moves and supers or just close my eyes and mash buttons and come out equally in the end. Another problem I had is that I don't have ADD, which is apparently needed to keep track of the (at times) 6 characters on screen.

Aside from the tired game play, the music is the worst ever composed for a video game. Capcom isn't known for it's scores (as is it's former rival SNK), but this piece of s**t takes the cake. From the obnoxious "I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIIIIDE" to "DRIVE ME CRAAAAZAAAAY BUT I WON'T LET YOU GOOOOOO", you'll need to put your TV on mute if you bother with this.

If you like fighting games with some level of skill involved, play SF2T or any of the SF games. Hell, pick up Capcom Vs. SNK, the only GOOD versus game EVER!

I was at an arcade a few weeks ago and I saw a 4 year old jerking the controller around and hitting buttons randomly and he did better against the computer than most people would. If that isn't indicative of the game's mediocrity, I don't know what is.

A great idea ruined in the process

Being a fan of the previous versus games, I was initially exited when i saw this installed in the local arcade; and it kept my interest, for a short time.

I've read the other reviews, and spent a large amount of time playing it also, and everyone's greatest praise about the game is the fact that it has so many characters, 56 total. One of the many problems with having so many characters however is that there are a lot of glitches. Glitches you ask, where? Everywhere. Everytime someone does those "great" infinite combos, they are abusing invicibility frames. And the very sad thing is, the infinites are not even hard to do. Oftentimes, they requires jump-ins followed by pop-ups and juggles, making it like a game of tekken, whee! It would be okay if the game had some glitches, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike has the kara-throw glitch, and Capcom vs. SNK 2 has the kara-cancel glitch, but this game has far too many. I may sound bitter about the use of infinite combos, I will let you know that I know how to do them, and have done alot of them against other people, so it is not like I've had a few pulled against me and I hate them. I just find them very cheap play, and in the end lack a lot of skill.

Another thing, many of the characters were shafted in their port from their respective games (ie. The Darkstalkers crew, and, dare i even say it, many of the Street Fighter crew).

Control: The whole 4 button thing. All other capcom fighting games (excluding Capcom vs. SNK) work with a six button controller, why change it to four. Strong and Forward were always necessary in every other game. Peoples tactics revolve around the two medium buttons. With characters getting shafted left and right, I guess it doesn't matter right? Shoto-scrubs can still pull off their Shun Goku Sastu (Raging Demon) with Akuma. Less buttons to get confused with, right?

Music: Not the greatest, not the worst. The jazz isn't as fight inspiring as other fighting games like Guilty Gear X, whose music is fast and invigorating. The music however is not what judges a fighting game.

Replayability: As much as i dislike this game, i have to say there is a large amount of replayability. With so many different available characters in order to form your teams there are near endless combinations of characters. Sadly however, people will end up forming a team they like, and never stray. And with infinites, it means some of the lesser know, less cheap character wont see much play time.

Overall: If you were a fan of the arcade version, and want to shell out the money to play this thing at your home, by all means, feel free. I however, reccomend buying Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, which takes much much longer to master, and is so much more rewarding winning in the arcade using tactics than a winning with an infinite trap. Or if you are willing to spend the money to import (or have a ps2/gamecube/x-box) get Capcom vs. SNK 2, which with its 48 characters is shy of this game by 8, except in CvS2, every character can hold their own, and it is a treat for us SNK fans because we get to see a lot of our favorite characters with medium punches and extra animations.

The best fighting game ever

In my opinion, Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the best fighting game ever created. It has the good stuff from the previous Marvel games and 56 characters. But this is just the starting of a wonderful game, fast and strategical.
The possibility to choose 3 characters having several ways to make them interact(use of assists, delayed combos, variable counters and lots of stuff that you'll enjoy for a long time)makes the game very deep and adds an huge replay value to it.
You can start playing the game and, after a while, identify lots of nice combos that you can do. Way after learning the combos though, you'll still be able to develop new tactics and strategies to build a good team, since there's so much combinations and possibilities into this game.
If you plan to play against friends, this game might revelas itself as the best replay value you ever had.
But, as the lowest point at this review, if you plan to play alone, you'll have a good game to play for a while. Don't get me wrong. You'll probably find MvC2 a very good solo game, but it's way way better when played with other people, when one tries to outsmart the other and you have to deal with much more strategies and combinations than the CPU can show.

If you want to buy just one game to play with people, go for it.

If you want to buy a new game for your Dreamcast, even to play alone, the game is a very nice option too.

This has got to be one of the most mindblowing 2-D games I have ever played. The graphics are beautiful without taking from the characters themselves. Come on, you know you've lost a a game a couple of times because you were observing the scenery rather than what you were doing. ~_^ The characters are vivid and the action is fast. You'll love the 3 on 3 team action. This game is packed with riveting combos and killer moves. You won't be able to rip yourself away from the screen. I had mostly played this game in the arcade, and now I'm fortunate enough to own it. I play it so much I am constantly getting gamer's thumb. ^_^ This has got to be one of the best damn games for Dreamcast.

Simply the best game out there.

This game has everything, you start out with a roster of about 26 characters if I'm correct, then you buy the rest with the points you earned. 56 characters in total, sweet. The best thing in the game is the comboage, you can do comboes with every character in the game, and they'r a very good way of showing off and kicking major [behind]!!! Although it's a 2D game, there are completely 3D backgrounds, they are awsome, not to mention huge(but I mentioned it anyway), it would be cool to be able to do what you used to in the previouse Vs. games with the stages. If you have a Sega Dreamcast, and you like fighting games, get it now... The graphics are awsome, the music is sweet. The game just planely RULES!!!

Pros:
Huge Barrage Of Fighters, 56!
BIG TIME 3D Backgrownds Blend In Perfectly!
Beautifuly Drawn Characters!
Awsome New Boss, Abyss!
Insane 3-on-3 Tag Team Battles!

Cons:
Can't play as the boss!

cool game to play when bored

The Greatest Fighting game for DreamCast

I love fighting games and when I first played Marvel vs Capcom 2 I was shocked. I couldn't believe my eyes, 56 characters ranging from Jill from Resident Evil to Iron Man, this was just one of the things that made me give this game 5 stars. You get everything that a great fighting game needs, great controls, great graphics, great levels and a great final boss!!! I have the first Marvel vs Capcom and that is nothing compared to this. Some problems with the first one were the controls were hard to control and there weren't enough chracters. But then #2 comes out and fixs all of those problems and then some.

If you like fighting games and you have a DreamCast, go get this, NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Marvel Vs.Capcom 2

This is the perfect game for any fighting game fan! Especially comic book loving fighting game fans! The one and only complaint I have is over the music... what game was the music intended for? Not this one! Everything else is near flawless.

The best fighter for DC
