Truly a classic amongst classics, this is hands down one of the best and most fun fighting games I have ever played. Every Marvel character and every major Capcom character is a selectable character for you to use as a fighter in 3 on 3 battles. Super moves and air combos add to the excitement as you can make your dream team of fighters.

Imagine Megaman, Dan and Juggernaut all fighting together on the same team and the only reward is knowing that you beat up the rest of the competition. Well imagine no more.. this game will give you every combination of fighters you could ever want and it even has some never before seen characters in the Vs. series. Like a cactus character named Amingo, Cable and Marrow from the XMen and Anikarus from the Darkstalkers series.

This game is pretty much the last in the line of the Marvel fighting series (mostly due to Capcom losing the rights to the Marvel franchise) which started with Xmen Children of the Adom and then the next games would include Street Fighter characters then just all Marvel Characters and then the also great Marvel Vs Capcom 1. This takes every single character we saw in every previous game up to this point and has them almost unchanged. Characters like Iceman and Spiral which were only in Xmen return almost unchanged and just as much fun as we remember. Bosses like Thanos and Dr. Doom from previous games, are now selectable for you to use as part of your teams as well. (of course they are weakend a tad but thats only expected)

The only downsides I would have to mention are that compared to the Dreamcast version, the PS2 version is a bit pixalated. Its not as smooth and well drawn as the other version was and there is a bit of load time in between the matches that you didn't find on the Dreamcast. Besides that though, the game is totaly unchanged and a perfect adapatation in everyway. The other minus is that there is really no plot at all to this game. M vs C 1 had an ending for every character giving you something accomplished. No matter who you win this game with its the same ending which is basicaly a "You did it. Congratualtions" now you can watch the credits type of ending. The most obvious reason for no endings are that there are over 50 characters and theres no way to put an ending for all of them especialy when you are using teams of 3. But it is missed when you are just fighting just for the sake to fight. Also Rogue has been changed. Instead of copying a power of the character she drains, she now just gets a general strength, defense, armor or speed boost depending on the character she drained. again its understandable due to the amount of characters in the game and how hard it would be to have her be able to have all of them. Ken also is the weaker version of the character where the fireball only goes half across the screen before dying but hes still just as good if you know how to use Ken. (Flamming uppercuts and all)

You won't be sorry adding this game to your collection. Whether you play it one player against the computer or against a friend it has so many combination of characters you can use, you probably will never truly have every team possible. Mastering each character is half the fun and learning all the combos and what assists work best is another part of the game that adds to its long playing value.

Capcom really did a great job here and I hope to see more games like this from Capcom in the future as this is the mark of excellence that all team based fighting games should have to live up to.
