Finally, a system that offers true arcade perfection. Marvel vs. Capcom is the all-star fighter from Capcom, featuring characters from a number of previous Capcom games, as well as heroes and villians from the Marvel comic universe. So in other words, if you ever wondered how Ryu would fare against Spider-Man, or whether Zangief or the Hulk was the stronger of the two, then this game is a dream come true. Visualy, the game is stunning. Brillant colors and a frame rate to rival actual animated movies sums up the way the game looks.

But how is gameplay you ask? In a word, perfect. Fluid controls are one of Capcom's trademark for it's fighters, and this game is fluid control personified, with better control than the highly praised Street Fighter Alpha 3. And as is the par with Street Fighter games, it's sheer fun proves that 2d is far from dead, despite what some people claim.

And on top of all that, one of the major flaws of most Capcom(and for that matter most companies except Namco's) fighting games share, replayability and secrets, is more than taken care of in Marvel Vs. Capcom. Sure, you can just enter a brief code to play as one of the Secret characters, but why when you can earn them the right way, and get a little bonus? And that bonus is non other than the ability to play as the god-like Onslaught! The difficulty and skill it takes to earn the secret characters can get pretty annoying, but it definitly keeps the player coming back to gain the coveted Onslaught Mode.

Above all else however, shines the funnest gameplay experience ever. Cross Fever Mode... The ultimate 4 player tag-team action... This is most definitly a title to get some extra controllers and 3 friends over for.

Marvel Vs. Capcom is the very best 2d has to offer. About the only thing the game lacks is a World Tour mode like Street Fighter Alpha 3 has. -Faust
