  • Marvel Vs Clone-com

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 12, 2005
    Pros: Huge Roster
    Chaotically Fun battles
    Simple Gameplay
    Cons: Too many Cloned styles
    Worthless VMU Gimmick
    Unbalanced characters

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • It's gonna take you for a ride!

    Aug 27, 2005
    Pros: 56 characters!
    Cons: No story, lack of character diversity, graphical problems...

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Three on three comic book action

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 19, 2002
    Pros: Your favorite Marvel and Capcom characters...and then some (count em, 56)!
    Cons: Fast paced game is taxing on your fingers

    Summary: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is not only a great idea, it's also a great effort. Combining the availability of dozens and dozens of well known (and hardly-known) characters, along with good old fashioned replay value, you get a vivid, long lasting title such as ... read more

  • Marvel vs. Capcom 2: From Two Perspectives

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 1, 2002
    Pros: Graphics
    Cons: Sound, Gameplay, Control

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • I'm sorry, but I really didn't like this.

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 23, 2002
    Pros: Many characters to choose from
    Cons: Graphics, Gameplay, Sound

    Summary: Well, maybe it's just me. Everybody seems to love Marvel vs. Capcom 2 but me. The thing is, it's so freaking fast. You have no time to plan what to do or how to do it or dodge anything or formulate any kind of strategy whatsoever. Now, if ... read more

  • oh so much better than MvC

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 7, 2002
    Pros: 56 characters, great gameplay, arcade perfect port, the list goes on...
    Cons: graphics, sound, the computer is too easy

    Summary: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the reason I bought my Dreamcast. I actually went out and bought the game before I even bought the system, that's how obsessed I was. MvC2 is the greatest fighter I've played in a long time. People who call this game a ... read more

  • One of the best fighting games for the DC

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 20, 2002
    Pros: Graphics, gameplay
    Cons: none

    Summary: 1 Terrible 5 Average (nothing special) 10 Perfect Graphics: AWESOME! Everything is smooth and colorful. The fighters look good and the stages are cool. Awesome pretty much says it all! Rating: 10 sound: I was into ... read more

  • Ultimate combo

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 31, 2002
    Pros: 56 selectable character, 3 vs 3 tag team, endless possibilities
    Cons: Weak AI, sound, weak final boss

    Summary: -INTRO- ---------------- 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 ... read more

  • Get it before they stop pressing copies

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 22, 2001
    Pros: three on three fighting, a lot of characters, music
    Cons: graphics aren't all that

    Summary: Note: I have never played the arcade version, so my review doesn't really compare the versions. Sorry =( Graphics (3/5points): One amazing thing about the game is being able to ad 3-D textures/models in the background of a ... read more

  • Almost a direct hit....

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 23, 2001
    Pros: Great characters. Fun gameplay.
    Cons: Boring after about 20 minutes.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Q:Can you give me a clever title for this review? A:We ran out. (CapcomW/O)

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 13, 2001
    Pros: Added characters, same good-old gameplay, controls slightly improved.
    Cons: terrible music and same 2D graphics

    Summary: === 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 ... read more

  • Greatest 2D fighter ever!!!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 6, 2001
    Pros: Graphics, addicting, colorful, character depth.
    Cons: The Dreamcast doesn't have enough buttons for the game to take advantage of.

    Summary: I have always been an avid fan of Capcom's popular series, Streetfighter. I often found myself more in love of the artwork in the game than the game itself. With that being said, let's just say this is the best one yet. Absolutely gorgeous graphics ... read more

  • So Mega Man really can beat the crap outta Wolverine...

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 4, 2001
    Pros: 56 characters from almost every Capcom game and Marvel comic you can name.
    Cons: Not very challenging, and there isn't a special ending when you beat the game.

    Summary: This game is the third in a series of "Vs" games, after X-Men Vs. Street Fighter and the first Marvel Vs. Capcom, and it's better than those two already-good games. Fifty-six characters from both the Marvel and Capcom universes are selectable in this ... read more

  • Howto screwup a good fighter! (AKA: MvsC2)

    Jul 30, 2001
    Pros: Variety, Characters, Ken, Days worth of playtime, Mute button.
    Cons: Music (sucks), Backgrounds (some are childish)

    Summary: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (MvsC2) is in all respect a better than decent fighter, one might say it is better-aw wth, Cant write a decent opener bout this... read on, faithfull epinionier. Graphics: The Graphics in MvsC2 are actualy quite good ... read more

  • Capcom gives us another hit.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 24, 2001
    Pros: Fantastic graphics for a 2D fighter.
    Cons: Without anyone to play against the computer gets boring and predictable.

    Summary: Graphics – 10 Graphics don’t really look cool on almost all fighting games because they’re in 2D (some games, although in 3D look horrifying and surprisingly slow). Although Marvel vs Capcom 2 is in 2D, look at the 3D backgrounds, most of them ... read more

  • Marvel vs Capcom 2 Worth It ??????

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 23, 2001
    Pros: Very fun game and 15-50 minute learning curve.
    Cons: Could of made more than 7 stages before you fight the boss

    Summary: Ok to start out i had plenty of Marvel games and plenty of other fighter games, but this one tops the list. This game doesn't have much bad point about it but the only one I could find was that there wasn't enough levels before you fight the boss. You ... read more

  • 2D heaven!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 5, 2001
    Pros: Graphics, easy to learn, and fun as heck.
    Cons: No story mode and unlocking hidden characters is a long process.

    Summary: This is a very beautiful game to look at. When I say beautiful, i'm talking about the backgrounds which are done in 3D instead of flat 2D. The characters also look good as well. The music is different as well. It has this sort of jazzy sound. At times it ... read more

  • Triple Tag Teams, Insane Combos, And 56 Characters? Yes, Please.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 19, 2001
    Pros: 56 characters, excellent graphics, insane combos and supers, three member teams, many secrets.
    Cons: No online capabilities, music isn't that great, no medium buttons, missing some previous characters.

    Summary: Take Street Fighter and Marvel Comics, and what do you have? The world's craziest fighting game ever. Throw in 3 on 3 tag-teams, some new characters, including Jill from Resident Evil and Cable from Marvel, excellent graphics with 3D backgrounds, and ... read more

  • Bring It On!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 18, 2001
    Pros: A whole slew of characters to choose from.
    Cons: No story line and the music.

    Summary: The first aspect you see first of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, is that there are so many different characters to choose from. It has over 50. Ranging from Cable all the way to Guile. The graphics of the game isn't that important but you can see everything ... read more

  • Marvel Vs. Capcom 2-much!?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 11, 2001
    Pros: 56 total characters, many notable extras and playables
    Cons: Some of the worst music Capcom has ever produced, pixelated sprites

    Summary: One of the reasons the Sega Dreamcast caught my attention was because the Sega Saturn in Japan wasn't going to adopt Marvel Vs. Capcom into it's library with use of the successful 4-MB RAM Cartridge. Yes, oh yes, I couldn't live without my cross-over ... read more
