Marvel vs. Capcom 2 = CHAOTIC SEIZURE FUN
) 
10 of 12 people found this review helpful.
I'm not joking, this game is very chaotic and might just possibly give the most immune adult a seizure. With up to six characters on the screen at a time, 56 total characters, and a ton of special moves; this game is amazingly chaotic! Play as all of your favorite Marvel and Capcom characters, including the ones that no one has ever heard of (really, we don't know where they came from). If you try this great 2D fighter, you may never go back to 3D!!
Although Marvel vs. Capcom 2 may be a button masher for some, air combos, infinities, and other moves require quite a bit of skill to pull off. Try for a 100+ hit combo, it's definitely possible!

Let me just lay it out there right now: I love this game. I loved it in the arcades, I loved it on the Dreamcast and I still love it here, three times around.
MvC2 is exactly what it sounds like: characters from the Marvel world and the Capcom world duke it out in over-the-top 2D graphics. With over 50 different characters to choose from (including Cable (from the X-Men universe), Jill Valentine (from Resident Evil), and Tron Bonne (from Mega Man Legends), among others), part of the fun is just coming up with new and different three person teams.
Which brings me to the fighting. Players choose teams of three, adjusting settings (such as what type of support attacks your non-active partners do, etc) and then they head out to fight. While the characters are 2D, the backgrounds are in full 3D...which is a nice touch, but since they do nothing to affect gameplay, you'll quickly forget about them (especially the one with the giant clown face - ugh). The controls are loose and responsive, allowing even beginners to piece together combos and special moves with relative ease. Anyone who has played any Capcom fighting game before will feel at home with these tired and true controls.
What really lets this game shine is how much fun it is to just sit down and play this game. Three character teams allow for a lot of trial and error when it comes to creating your own "perfect" team. Fighting is fierce and fast, constantly keeping you on your toes while also making this game a quick and easy pick-up.
But what it all boils down to is two player action. Nothing beats finding a great, working team of characters that shutdown a friend's favorite team or unleashing your entire team's super moves on a defenseless player, turning the tide of a close battle. You can still have plenty of fun with this game alone, unlocking all the secrets, but once that is over, what keeps this product such a high level product is multi-player.
As I said when I opened this review, I love this game. The Dreamcast version (and to a lesser extent the PS2 version) is slightly superior than this one, as the graphics are cleaner and less pixelated. But that hardly makes this game worth any less than the $60+ it consistantly grabs on eBay for a complete copy. If you love 2D, over-the-top fighting, any of Capcom's other Vs. titles or are looking for a new multiplayer title, give this game a try! It will not disappoint!

The minor scratches described for game affected gameplay. Game was unplayable and I feel that I have been ripped off. Seller never responded to any of my emails and quickly sent out the item probably knowing it was defected. Will not do business with seller ever again and would like to change my positive feedback to negative.

MvC2 - Great Game that deserves to be found and playedReview created: 08/05/08
by:
Unfortunately kevin82485 does not know what he is talking about because he simply does not own the game, and its basing his opinion on other people's opinion that reviewed it and did not like it as much. And what are reviews other than people’s opinions of things? So that means you don't know what you are missing until you try it yourself.
I actually own this game since it came out and love it. An excellent 2D fighting game pitting some of the known, and some obscure Marvel and Capcom characters (56 total) on a 3 vs 3 character match. With so many characters the combination of characters is grand. Awesome, and sometimes comical special moves, and a combo system that is so insane, it can't really be compared to many games out there. The only thing that holds this game back, is that there is no serious single player story to motivate the player, other than just fighting to get the best score (a la arcade), and the inability to play online, which is something that was not that popular when this game first came out. Regardless of this, this is a great game that will have you playing many times, especially if you have, or know any people you can get together and play with. The game is so expensive, and hard to find, because of licensing issues, and such that prevented this game from having more copies made for sale. The fact that this game is played on many tournaments still today, and people still want it, tells you this is a good game.
Capcom vs SNK 2, yes great game, but this game is the one that allowed for that game to be made. Guilty Gear, is a great game, but recommending it because you read reviews and saw a video footage of it, hardly counts as credible recommendation, it only shows that you are an impulsive buyer that will get anything that other people tell you to get. So if someone is willing to pay $90 for something they want, then let them, that is called freedom of choice.

This is one hell of a game and I would tell the world if I have to, the sec in my book because the KI and KI2 was my frist but marvel vs capcom 2 has combo's never before sceen 3 on 3 action and a hell of a lot you don't have this then. So if try to find it 9 of 10. Hint: plays better on dreamcast it has the gra,and sound as arcade and xbox loads fast and ps2 saves and has easy-er controlls if placed right.

All the hype for this rare title is worth the money!!!Review created: 05/09/08
by:
Probabaly one of the hardest titles to find on Xbox is a great game for Xbox or Xbox 360, even though it will cost $50-75 bucks. The fighting is exact to that of the arcade version. Graphics are great, but I did encounter some glitches when I played it on my Xbox 360 console. The controls are ok, but if you buy the 6 button joystick for xbox, much easier game to play. All of the players are there, and if you like the arcade version, you love this!! Alot of fun, and get it before it sky rockets in price. Great Buy, I rate it a 8 out of 10!!

Awesome Game that is worth the money and time spent!!!!Review created: 07/03/07
by:
This is an awesome game.I bought it because I remeber playing the first version and I wanted a fast paced game with awesome characters and cool fighting techniques. The game has awesome controls and the graphics make the game all the more better. It took me about a month to finally get one because of the popularity of the game. I had to bid high and often till I finally won. I spent $65 but trust me the game is worth every penny. The game will leave with you awesome memories and no matter when you can turn it on to play whether with friends or by yourself. So if you get your hands on one of these, cherich it and never give it up. It will leave you BREATHLESS!!!

To put it simply this game is a must own for any fan of the VS series by Capcom.
I would rate this version of the game second only to the Dreamcast and of course the original arcade machine itself. This version is much better than the PS2 version and if you have the street fighter arcade stick this version is pretty much arcade perfect. Many hours of happy gaming await.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 rocks! I love all the characters and there is so many to choose from. The big action hyper combos are badass! I love being able to choose three characters and going at it. The graphics may not be the greats but you can't really tell with all the fast action hyper combos. If you love fighting games you have to make this one of your collections.

This game was very hard to find, but I was able to find it from ths seller at a very competitive price. I ordered it as a gift, and the person I bought it for could not be more thrilled to receive it. The game, Marvel VS Capcom II, was just as described and came quickly. I would definately recommend this seller. Thank You.
