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: Added characters, same good-old gameplay, controls slightly improved.
Cons: terrible music and same 2D graphics

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...
