In what insane, whacky, baffling, wonderful video game other than Marvel Vs. Capcom would it be possible to use Jill Valentine to pulverise the painfully conceited Spiderman into submission? Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 isnt for the sophisticated gamers who want a slow war of attrition. You are thrown into the fray with over 50 of the coolest characters Marvel and Capcom have to offer, forced to wage three-man-tag-team warfare while trying to get to grips with the speed of the gameplay and how to tap into the classic beat em up arsenal of powerful super moves. Despite its high tempo and vibrant graphics, this classic has a huge amount of depth, with the finest players in the world being masters of its complex levels of gameplay. From learning how to best utilise your super meter to knowing how to make your team most effective in combat, there is a lot to get to grips with. Featuring a wide range of diverse stages nodding to the fans, the attention to detail here for such an ostensibly chaotic fighting game is impressive. This is without doubt the finest entry into Capcoms series of versus fighting games the clash of the worlds of Marvel and Capcom just seems to suit the insanity of the gameplay so perfectly. After its in 2000, Capcom wouldnt try to make another game in the series until 2011 the game was so well crafted that they saw no need to try and readdress it for over a decade.
