Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 by Capcom for Dreamcast has the biggest roster of characters in a Capcom fighting game with 56 combined brawlers from both the Capcom and Marvel universes as players can mix and match fighters in order to create their own ideal-character team-up. Action is based around colorful, exaggerated attacks, and the controls are simplified from the classic six-button system at the heart of Capcom games like Street Fighter IV, utilizing a four-button control scheme for the action, with two "assist" buttons that pull in your team members for additional support.

  • Review: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (360)
  • After playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 again, it's easy to see why there hasn't been a sequel for almost ten years -- it's almost impossible to improve upon perfection. This cult-hit title has an insane roster made up of characters from Capcom's stable -- Mega Man, Ryu, Jill Valentine -- as well as favorites from Marvel like Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine. Add in the 3-on-3 team combat, a complex fighting system and hundreds of screen-filling ultra combo bonanzas, and it's obvious: this game makes almost any other fighter look boring and lifeless by comparison. Now, the game is coming to XBLA and PSN with one amazing addition: online multiplayer.
