Marvel vs Capcom (DC)

Originally released in the arcades, then on the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, the latter in Japan only, Marvel Vs. Capcom was released worldwide to coincide with the release of Sega's Dreamcast console, and would kick start what would prove to be a beautiful partnership between Capcom and Sega on the little white box. The game is the third entry into the Streetfighter spin-off games dubbed the 'Vs. Series', due to the fact each game contains that word, and because it pits the characters of one company, in this case Marvel Comics, against Capcom's finest, which for the first time was expanded to include characters from outside of the Streetfighter series. ...  Read the complete review

Capcom's now famous crossover Vs series began in about 1996 with the release of X-Men Vs Street Fighter. After that came Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter which didn't seem to go over too well with fans of the first game. It was more or less an expansion game which changed the character roster around abit and recolored the backgrounds. Next up came the game im reviewing now which is ...  Read the complete review

Capcom is the only comapny now which is holding on to making 2D fighting games, there was a time when there was 2D fighting madness by all the major comapnies, even the simpsons ended up on arcade as a fighting game. But now only one company remains Capcom (their was SNK but they are now leaving this world, sniff sniff sniff, ah never forget my teenage years, missing school for Capcom and SNK games down the local arcade).Capcom now refuses to put the guns down on 2d fighting games. You see you have to still be into 2D fighting games in order to like this game. But MvC, is quite simply astonishing, absolutely crazy effects, mad combos, stunning character ...  Read the complete review

Capcom has always been associated with Street Fighter. With a character franchise to rival Disney, who can blame them for milking them to death. With more versions than a Microsoft product the characters need something better to do. Marvel Vs. Capcom is then a significant jump from what you would expect of a game with Ryu and all in it. Instead of being a bare bones knock 'em around fighter, Marvel Vs. Capcom is a lesson in extravagance, both graphically and moves wise. If you though the last few Street Fighters were a bit dry - rejoice! With a cast line-up to die for, this game has potential! The brash presentation, 100% arcade is well suited ...  Read the complete review

Even though this game has been out for years now, i still think its one of the best fighting games ever made. After being in the arcades for so many years they decided to take it out on a few consoles. I have it for both the Dreamcast and the Playstation. Theres loads of characters to choose from such as the Hulk, Captain America and Spiderman. Of course they aint all goodies cos you can also pick baddies like Venom. Good thing about this game is that you pick two characters to play with. So i could pick Venom and Spiderman and when ever i want to change from spiderman to venom i simply press the buttons. This is really handy if your away to die cos whilst you ...  Read the complete review
