Possibly the most successful Capcom 2D fighter, hell fighter full-stop, since S treetfighter 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: A New Age of Heroes, hereby referred to as MvC2 for the sake of brevity, was a game that ...

Pros: Lots of options, smooth game play, great graphics
Cons: More cheese than a dairy, rank AI, lack of a medium punch

I remember the precise point when I ceased being one of the people at the vanguard of video gaming for a time. It was when Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition (the second version of the much rehashed game) came out. I tried it, thought it was jsut...

Pros: superb character selection, crossover!!, old "masters" will have to adapt! characters are better balanced.
Cons: combo system abusive

Of you're new or old to the crossover series this game rules.

If you're familiar with Marvel vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, or the older X-Men vs. Streetfighter, you'll have a general sense of what this game is like. Rather than play...

Cons: terrible music and same 2D graphics

=== Intro: A Plane… ===

A plane takes off and 7 hours later I find myself walking down Dublin’s –Columbus, OH- stores with something attached to my right hand…I start shacking it, but nothing happens…when I look down, a terrifying image...

Pros: great action, lots of options, tons of characters
Cons: sissy music.

The Sega Dreamcast sure had a hard time selling systems back in the year 2000 but they sure had some awesome 2D fighting games. One of the best out there was the jam packed Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. The game is famous for having cool secrets to ...

Pros: Huge Roster
Chaotically Fun battles
Simple Gameplay
Cons: Too many Cloned styles
Worthless VMU Gimmick
Unbalanced characters

Since 1995, Capcom has held the licensing to the Marvel video game franchise. As such, they’ve frivolously squandered it on Street Fighter clones. As you can tell, I haven’t been a fan of the “Marvel Vs.” titles. There have been some good from them, but ...

Pros: Reduced learning curve, more natural controls, Dreamcast controller-friendly
Cons: Pixilated characters, odd background music

Since this is my 50th review, which is something of a milestone for me, I decided to write about a game that is near and dear to my heart, and the game that primarily got me to buy a Dreamcast in the first place: Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Now, I...

Pros: 56 characters, control, 3-on-3 tag teams, hyper combos, cool 3D backgrounds
Cons: Not enough variety in modes, no online play

Intro: Capcom never seems to run out of ideas when it comes to making 2D fighters. Whenever a sequel comes out to one of its popular games you know it’s going to be bigger and better. And that’s best justified with the release of ...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: Sound, Gameplay, Control

This is one game that is still going strong here in America; with it’s recent PS2 release and the fact that it is still a leading arcade game, MvC2 has got to be one of the most popular fighting games in the US. Personally, however, I don’t see...

Pros: Great characters. Fun gameplay.
Cons: Boring after about 20 minutes.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a true-to-form 2D Capcom fighting game. MVC2 has no story line and no plot. So, the premise behind the game is to take your favorite characters from Marvel and pit them against your favorites from Capcom. No complaints...

Pros: Nice graphics for the most part and easy to learn
Cons: Lousy gameplay, incredibly easy, no storyline

Zoiks! Marvel vs. Capcom 2?! Man, I am there! After the original Marvel vs. Capcom in the arcade and on the Dreamcast, and seeing all of the Epinions raving about the sequel, I had to see what all the stink was about. Unfortunately, I did, and boy, did...

Pros: 3 on 3 fighting, outstanding graphics, control is decent either way
Cons: AI problems, announcer

Marvel versus Capcom 2, the newest addition in Capcom's long running cross over series is more insane then any other fighting titles Capcom has given us yet. For those out there who are die hard fans of the cross over series will be very pleased with the...

Pros: Almost Everything
Cons: Still 2D Characters

Overall Rating: 96%

Okay, you've already played Marvel VS Capcom for Dreamcast, why would you want to spend another $50 to buy this game? Well, in one word this game is exceptional. This game has improved so much over it's first release that...

Pros: Reviving forgotten video game characters like SonSon, 56 characters!
Cons: No character endings, the ultimate button masher's game

Capcom, much like the X-Men's Wolverine, is the best at what they do. Forget Resident Evil's survival horror and forget Breath of Fire's roleplaying. Capcom is the king of 2D fighting games. And Marvel vs. Capcom 2 does nothing but...

Pros: 56 selectable character, 3 vs 3 tag team, endless possibilities
Cons: Weak AI, sound, weak final boss

The fighting genre has expanded and evolved since the early 90’s with different versions and series alike. Capcom started in all back in early 91 when it introduced Street fighter 2 that completely...
