Over 50 characters, a wide range of Capcom and Marvel characters, and don't forget about the Super Combo x 3...

User Rating: 8.6 | Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (Modem Pack) PS2
I have been a big fan of the Capcom Vs series ever since the X-Men Vs Street Fighter. These Vs series games have really good replay value for the fact that you can not only play as a Street fighter, but also play any Marvel character as well. Because I used to be a major Marvel comics fan, I couldn't help but wonder how Capcom would make their characters. I did play the X-Men:COTA and thought it was great. But I did get sceptical about having a crossover with Street Fighter.

GRAPHICS
=========
Hey, It's Capcom, the graphics look, as usual, very good. Animations are very smooth, almost like watching a cartoon. Plus, a lot of backgrounds used 3D animations, which makes it all the more realistic in detail. It's surprising how real you can make 2D characters fight on a 3D background. Plus, the bosses you fight at the end of the game look fantastic. This is one of the few fighting games where you fight a boss that is several times bigger than the screen itself.

CONTROL
=========
Controls work great for this game. They even simplified some of the commands for use with the "L" and "R" buttons so you don't have to press the 2XPunch or 2XKick to do your super moves or Super Team Combo attacks. Most of the commands to do the special moves are all straight forward and are very simple to remember. What's also interesting is when you want to switch from one character to another during a fight. Originally, you switched between to characters, this game lets you swicth between 3 characters, a major improvement, and greatly helps. Even the Super Team Combo looks awesome and they all do different things.

OVERALL
========
Hey, 56 characters to choose from, choose 3 of them to be on your team, Super Team Combo attacks, Characters ranging from Capcom to Marvel, even boss characters from other Marvel fighters and SF Vs Marvel crossovers are playable such as Dr. Doom & Thanos. You can't go wrong, especially if you are a major Marvel comics fan. Never has there been a fighting game with so much variety of characters such as Marvel Vs Capcom 2. You will not be disappointed.
