Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BEST vs series ever
This is the best vs seriers that was made. Over 50 characters with crazy combos and secrets. I give 5 stars! 2d characters with 3d-backrounds. wow



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Holy Character Psychology, Batm---No, wait, that's DC!
I own fifty-three Dreamcast games (and counting) and eleven of them (and counting) are fighting games. I have endured the best of the best and the worst of the worst in this fabulous yet underrated genre.
If there's one thing I love more than anything else about fighting games (and I am sure most others share my feelings), it is the fact that they are filled to the brim with wonderful, endearing, loveable, and unforgettable characters. This, of course, goes without saying; I mean, if there were no characters (or say a mere handful of 10 or less), the games would get boring fast and they would have nothing to offer the gaming world except a quick action fix. I may not be much of a comic book fan (it is one of the many things I pride myself on not being), but I still think it is great to see all my favorite Marvel characters like War Machine and the infamous Shuma Gorath going toe-to-toe with the likes of Jill Valentine and Tron Bonne. These are just the sorts of scenarios I am sure all of us have dreamed up in our little imaginations at one point or another in our lives. It is always amusing when a major corporation decides to indulge the fantasies of the masses, is it not?
I think though that what really makes the game fun is the ability to buy characters, as well as colors for characters and even new fighting fields. It makes you want to play over and over again until you have all fifty-six (count them, fifty-six) fighters. Hyper-Combos are also an incredible asset to the game. It really teaches one to think strategically about battles. After all, if one character's combo involves tossing an opponent into the air (such as Omega Red), it is not wise to use it in conjunction with a ground-based combo (such as Tron Bonne) so you must choose your teams wisely! (In my experience, I have found the best combination to be Iron Man, War Machine, and Chun Li: since Iron Man and War Machine's combos deliver about forty-some hits each and Chun Li's combo is good against Abyss!)
So Why the 4 Stars?
I miss the gallery from the playstation version of MVC. I appreciate Capcom's desire to preserve the arcade spirit of their works, but I think they are really cutting themselves off at the knees. A console version of an arcade game should be thought of as a DVD for a film. I think it was the director of "Idle Hands" who described DVDs as being meant for "Those who had more than a passing interest in the film." I am actually surprised Capcom did not include an art gallery of some kind (or if they did, they really went out of their way to hide it). CannonSpike and Gunbird 2 both contain wonderful galleries of production art that really shows just how much effort Capcom puts into its games (not that we need galleries to see that).
But, in any case, gallery or no, this stands as the epitome of fighting games. The best of the best! Thank you, Capcom!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best game on the planet
I was a huge fan of Marvel VS Capcom, which is why I was so happy when Capcom announced a sequel. The first tag team fighter was wild, but I mean, this sequel is one of those rare exceptions which is superior to the original. The original had 21 characters (most were alternate colors of some characters), this game boasts 56 characters in total, and there is one double: Wolverine. One has the Marvel Capcom moves, the other, XMen VS Street Fighter. Anyway, the game is a 3 on 3 tag team fighting, and can get very intense. The backgrounds have this spectacular 3-D look to them, and there is a new 4 button control scheme, making the game more bearable with the Dreamcast controller, unlike the first game. But what makes this game so good is that it is very easy to pick up and play, and boasts a TON of replay value. You have to earn points to unlock new stages, new costume colors, and, new characters (you start off with 24). You unlock it by earning points, by playing through the games various modes. If there is any downsides to this game at all, it's that some characters are missing moves from the original, and the music is all jazz. I actually think the music is decent, but if you don't like jazz, you'll dread the music. This is the ultimate 2-D fighting game. If you own a Dreamcast, liked any of the VS series or fighting games in general, this is a must have for your library. There is no depth to the game, it's very easy to learn and master, but packs quite a punch with replay value and fun.
