Capcom Comes Up Trumps
I am a great fan of the old style 2d beatemups and Marvel vs Capcom 2 doesn't dissapoint.
Although it might seem a bit dated for the 3d gamer, in true Capcom style it is a solid hyper kinetic fighting game.

The huge cartoon graphics and sublime animation make it a visual feast.

I meean, the hulk fighting spiderman ?
Ryu fighting Wolverine ?
Ken and Cyclops fighting Magnito and Megaman ?

Even if you are not normally tempted by 2 dimensional fighting games, this is well worth a try.

With the simple to activate special moves to the huge multi-hit combos, there is plenty here to apeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike.

One point I would make though is that it is much more accessable with the new smaller X-Box pad.

If you like beat-em-ups -buy this!!
having played the versus series in the arcade before I instantly boughtthis game and it instantly took up 99% of my xbox playtime after that..ifyour old school and can hadoken/dragon punch/hurricane kick then this gameis SF on speed..lots of speed...soo fast, which appealed to me greatly!(that and the re-enacting of superheros clashing
once you learn thebasic mechanics of the fighting and combo system, this becomes a game thatkeeps on giving...hit your opponent hard with rather large blue beam ofenergy, then tag ryu out and Iron man in mid-move and continue to pummelthem with an even larger beam of energy, before maybe enjoying the quirkyamusing side of the game by trampling your character to death with about40 legomen style servbots...switching bewteen hypers and using assistsfrom your other characters means it's not just picking the bestcharacters...it eventually comes down to the best team...and with 56characters, there are quite a lot of team combinations outthere!..although the game is a 2d fighter, quite pixelated, and oftenunbalanced character-wise...this is a game with unmatched longevity (in myopinion) and as the button setup has been altered it makes it moreaccessible to newbies and is fantastic for casual play--for best resultsget some like minded mates round, teach them how to play, and see how longit takes them to leave!--the first 9 months I had this game I clocked atleast 300 hours of playtime, although cos I never counted I bet it is awhole lot more than that-- learn how to do Street fighter moves (if youdon't know already), buy this game, and enjoy-- simple as that!!-- thisgame is comic book style action, with a touch of manga/anime (if you likethings like dragonball Z and ninja action-you should like this game)actionthrown in..and if you played Street Fighter or any similar games, thenbeing able to obtain 200+(if I remember correctly my P.B is 238) hit teamhyper combos will surely appeal!--I can't recommend this game highlyenough to beat-em-up fans..fast and complex, yet still simple toplay...easy to learn, difficult to perfect! --even if it is a 2Dfighter..and just remember a good game is a good game, regardless ofpolygon counts/trilinear filtering, etc!
Buy this--buy this now--it'sbeen out for a while so be cheap to find second hand--Try amazon.com's funthings--great!!
