Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is an example of a game made great by an enormous amount of love and attention to detail. It’s a worthy sequel to one of the most beloved fighting games of all time, brought to a current-gen level. Expect this one to be in heavy rotation among fans of fighting games for a long time coming.

Capcom is already adding one new mode and at least two DLC characters so hopefully we’ll see additional modes and tweaks after launch. Sure, there are a few issues and the story is a missed opportunity, but there’s nothing that stands out as any reason not to go and get this game right now.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is exactly the game I was hoping for; it’s fun, deep, gorgeous, addictive… I could go on forever. Fans of the series are likely to have a new favorite and I think that Capcom will be able to turn some new players into die hard fans with the accessibility options included such as the simple mode. I have waited ten long years for this game and I am not disappointed in the least.

Despite being riotously entertaining, a few elements hold MvC 3 back. Character endings consist of art stills with text overlays, a huge disappointment considering Super Street Fighter IV had fully voiced and animated conclusions (and only one less character). Fans expecting the suite of online features accompanying Super Street Fighter IV should regulate their excitement, because MvC 3’s virtual arcade only has the basics like ranked and player matches, plus custom lobbies to recreate the “winner stays†arcade experience. SSF IV’s successful tournament mode and multiplayer team battles are inexplicably absent. Why Capcom didn’t simply borrow everything from its fighting cousin is a mystery.

Marvel vs Capcom 3, when playing against friends or foes, or even messing around in Training Mode, you’ll wonder where the time went — and when time is up, you’ll just keep playing anyway! The possibilities are endless, and you’ll experience something new in every match you play. Try to leave your preconceived notions about what this game should be at the door, pick it up, and just have fun because that’s what this game is all about.

Marvel Versus Capcom 3 is a fantastic game and in a market that is deprived of good fighting games- fighting genre fans should not have second thoughts about picking MvC 3 up. It does not revolutionize the fighting genre and employs a simple and a sweet strategy. With 33 of your favourite characters from the boot and more to come from future DLCs, this is a game that should be in your gaming library

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is hard to not love. While not as technically proficient, nor as well-balanced as Street Fighter IV, the sheer entertainment outweighs it – whether you’re having a quick play, or pouring hours into mastering your art.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is pretty much exactly how I expected it – epileptic, frantic fun. Sure, it has a few balancing issues (Sentinel) and it might be a little too frantic at times, but at its core it’s a great fighter for those who don’t have the patience to learn SSFIV’s endless move lists.

MvC3’s online play is fairly barebones, which is a bit of a disappointment but at least it works to get worldwide competition started. You have a profile that shows your overall style and favorite characters, and other players can inspect it to try and come up with a counter to your style. You can create lobbies and add people that are on your friends list and fight them, or jump directly into ranked or unranked matches. You can also let the game find you an online opponent while you goof around in the offline-only Arcade mode; it works just as well as it did in Street Fighter IV. Unfortunately, there’s no system for spectating fights, so if you get into a lobby with several people, there’s pretty much nothing to do until it’s your turn to fight. That really needs to change in a future update.

The game doesn’t need a free-roaming adventure mode like old stuck-for-ideas Tekken. It doesn’t need the virtual arcades and fake opponents of Virtua Fighter 5. It’s got a challenging single-player with hidden characters and artwork to unlock, then when you’ve exhausted that, you’ve got the whole world to try your hand at in multiplayer. There’ll be no-one out there who plays it the same as you, so the potential for longevity is infinite.

You can learn how to throw assists into your combos to keep the hit count increasing, resets to keep the damage soaring and mix-ups to keep your opponent’s mind frazzled. We understand why experts would be angry at the button-bashing label. Unfortunately, it’s a knee-jerk response that not only leaves them with soggy, coffee-stained magazines but also ignores the greatest success of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 – there’s something for everyone.

Several of the ideas I just listed were done by Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which debuted over a year ago on Wii. Once you beat the Arcade Mode a few times, and have unlocked the four hidden characters, you’ll find there’s not much else to add to the experience. The core of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is incredible – but for many of you that’s only going to go so far.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 as it stands, with its all new systems to be mastered, tons of new characters to get to know and love, and more that enough "Marvel" and "Capcom" to go around. That’s something that fighting game fans, and Marvel and Capcom fans in general, should have a hell of a time with.

There is an alternative Simple control system, which reduces the number of main attack buttons to just one, but it would’ve been unnecessary if Capcom would just explain how Normal mode works properly.

Regardless of how you feel, you’d probably start picking your favorite characters and learning your combos, because this one is the latest and greatest, and it will take its place among the most-played fighting games of the year, like it or not.
