I bought this after playing it several times at the arcade and finding out that it was coming to Dreamcast. 56 Characters! That was so many I thought. All with their own unique moves. No matter what though, no matter how hard you play at your home, if you don't play at the arcade you will soon find out you are nothing. I played this game for so long thinking I was really awesome at it and then went to play it again at the arcades and was getting [stuff] kicked outta me. Human opponents are FAR more challenging than even the highest difficulty AI opponents on this game. That would probably be my only complaint about this game is the AI difficulty. Everything else is awesome!

Marvel VS. Capcom 2 more action, characters, and fun!

A fighting game with characters from marvel as well as capcom... characters include fighters such as X-men and not well known fighters. A good game for all ages. Overall great, but the only bad part is so-so graphics...

A Game For Hours and Hours of Play!

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is one of the few 2D fighting games that gives you alot of replay value, and trust me, the replay value in this game is one of a kind. With the tons of things to unlock, and the large amount of characters will have you playing this game for weeks. It also makes this game great for parties and when you get bored, just start all over again, and even though 56 characters means alot of move mastering, its still fun every minute you play.

Its a must buy if you love Capcom fighting.

dream come true.

With 3 on 3 action, insane combos, and 56 fighters to choose from, this is the definitive 2-d fighting game, brought to us by the masters of the craft at Capcom. What this game suffers from compared to its predecessors is a lackluster musical score that sounds like lounge music. Some choice character music would be better for the adrenaline fueled fights, as in all the other games. Also, some characters like Chun Li and Morrigan lost some attacks from the first MVC. But overall, this game has remained in top fighting shape for years now, and you can't say that about many.

Capcom has come a long way in its novelty versus games, and

In the beginning, Capcom gained the license from Marvel Comics to produce X-Men: Children of the Atom (1994). This title served as more of a "Who would win in a fight" game. Hidden in the shadows of this title was the street fighting legend Gouki (Akuma). Capcom took this Street Fighter cross over a little more seriously, and in 1996, released X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. X-Men Vs. Street Fighter gave us the ability to pit some of our favorite Street Fighter characters against Marvel Comic's X-Men. Capcom did not stop there. In 1997, Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter was released. This title ultimately failed because the majority of the characters were Ryu clones. Another bold step by Capcom, as they released Marvel Vs. Capcom in 1998. This time, the execution was flawless. You could play as 8 Capcom characters or 7 Marvel Comics Trademarks, in lightning fast tag team battles. Fans cried out for a sequel. As to not disappoint, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2:New Age of Heroes hit the arcades in 2000. In fall of 2000, this was later ported to the SEGA Dream Cast.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes redefines how we see fighting games in so many ways. Primarily, Capcom ripped out the old 2on2 combat system from X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, and instituted a grand 3on3 tag system, which allows assists (as introduced in Marvel Vs. Capcom) as well as tagging to one of two characters in reserve. Like its predecessors, MvC2 allows you to use team super combos (now dubbed "Hyper Combos"). You can team up with one or both of your reserve characters in an all out onslaught of mayhem. In addition to the ability to team up for a synchronized hyper combo, you may also string along hyper combos, ensure more damage. Each time you execute a hyper combo, you much input the motion for the hyper combo of the next character. Your characters will automatically be switched in battle, allowing a fresh fighter to tear the opponent to shreds. In addition to this tag system, the assist system allows you to choose the behavior of your reserve fighters when called for momentary relief. After selecting a character, you much choose between 3 different types of assistance they will give. Assistance ranges from taking out aerial fighters to healing your current fighter. This proves very useful and strategic.

I really have nothing bad to say about the environments this MvC2 has to offer. The backdrops are produced in stunning CG. With expert cell shading, the character sprites and the environments merge very well. The majority of the backdrops seem unique to the game, while there are those that have tie-ins to the characters themselves. For instance, one of the backdrops is Ruby Heart's Pirate Ship. (Note: Ruby is an original character for this game) The announce seems to keep a certain level of excitement going throughout the fight, however his trivial announcements in-between fights can prove annoying.

Capcom has a well rounded cast this time, which is more than I can say for some of their other games. In a normal Capcom fighting game, you tend to have at least 3 fighters with the Ryu style of fighting. This becomes increasingly annoying, but in MvC2, there is only Ryu. You may later unlock Ken, Akuma, Dan, and Morrigan who use the same style, but Capcom has found a way to make each character play differently. Also, on the Marvel side of the roster, you find the classics as well as new faces. From the beginning, there is Cyclops, Wolverine, and Psylock from Children of the Atom. Capcom also added Marrow and Cable as well as may other classic Marvel characters. In the beginning, there are only 25 characters. 12 Marvel and 13 Capcom. You have the option to unlock over 50 unique players. (Now granted, some have the same moves, but due to the games engine, no two characters have the same feel) To keep the cast rounded out, Capcom instituted a grading system. Characters are graded by speed, power, and endurance. This enables them to have Ken and Ryu play very differently. Ken has more power than Ryu, where as Ryu is faster than Ken. Then Akuma has more Endurance than both Ken and Ryu. It is this diversity that keeps the fights going and the match up possibilities seem endless.

On the down side of life, I was disappointed that Capcom did not include fiendish favorites like Vega(Balrog in Japan). I would have loved to match the Spanish slayer up against Canada's own, Wolverine. Qué Será, Será. This was only a minor draw back. The other was the purchasing system. You must purchase extra outfits for characters. I find this very annoying, since I do not care if my selected team is color coordinated or not. The VMU applet allows you to view and shop only. I would have liked to be able to play a mini-game that allowed the user to earn more points to unlock additional characters and stuff. I am also disappointed that there is a lack of movement for the matches. In previous Versus games, you could slam your opponent through the roof, floor, or a side of the fighting arena and continue the brawl in a new environment. This is not so with MvC2.

Despite my disappointments, I really enjoyed this game. I think it deserves a perfect 10 our of 10. My disappointment spawns from my high expectations for gaming. All together, I believe once you play this game, you will never look at cross-overs the same.

Best VS Game yet..

Marvel VS Capcom 2 is a great game which I recommend to any fighting game fans! There are many things that make Marvel VS Capcom 2 incredible a main one is that it has 56 characters a shocker to many people but the catch is you only start off with 20 something you must purchase the rest at the shop. There is also no more blue shadows in the Hyper Combos which is not really a change but I just thought I'd mention that, and the graphics are perfect I've never expected such animation from a 2-D game. And now instead of 2 VS 2 action from the 1st Marvel VS Capcom it's sequel now allows 3 VS 3 matches which is excellent and the matches will be longer, and it is easier to pull off a lot of hits with a Team Hyper Combo. Overall Marvel VS Capcom 2 is a solid game almost flawless but this game isn't for the weak hearted!

Much better than the first one.
