    MvC3 is the same crazy, over-the-top fighting game that fans loved back in 2000, just with a fresh control scheme and a new coat of 3D, hi-res paint. Fighting game fans will fall in love with the "easy to play, hard to master" format.

    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.

    For those having a hard time comprehending today's fighters, MvC3 is there for you. Meanwhile, veterans can definitely say that this title hits the spot.

    The balance and depth in the game is astonishing, and even the odd characters have their distinct charms...What's really a shame here is that the developer didn't manage to find a way to supplement the core experience with extras that would extend the life of the game by adding some variety to the package.

    Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is definitely not just another fighting game. It's one of the most advanced games you can get so just go ahead and buy it.

    An explosion of colours and cool combos and at the same time a great depth, smooth controls and even a great fighting game for beginners.

    MvC3 tends to emphasize flash over substance... and that's totally cool, for some folks, as MvC3 is going to divide the fighting game audience, including series faithful. Some will like that it's more accessible (if a bit stripped down), while others will decry the dumbing-down of their favorite series and its lack of arcade sauce.

    This is a great game. The graphics are good sound us cool too (and includes remixes of 'wanna take you for a ride from mvc2). The charactersThis is a great game. The graphics are good sound us cool too (and includes remixes of 'wanna take you for a ride from mvc2). The characters are great and I think it was a good idea of using more unknown characters instead of bog standard marvel and capcom ones (e.g has zero instead of megaman). My only problem is that dlc characters have already been announced 2 months before the games release meaning they could have easily been fitted into the game ( and the game already has 20 less characters then mvc2). But that's just capcom being greedy and shouldn't put people of buying the game. Overall a excellent game!… Expand

A great player ( a person who memorizes moves) can put a stop to that. so after you ranked up you dont run into dumb noobs who spam or button smash. which adds a great feel since i loved blaz blue in the fact that you couldn't button smash you had to combo to win which i loved, which showed true skill. so overall mvc3 got a 8 for a few short comings. on-line play was great (once ranked up a bit), the char selection was amazing (since they all had there own move set), and the many unlocks. the problems lied in the camp as the story mode was way to short, you had to beat the final boss with the char you wanted so if he/she died you had to start all over to get that unlock, and mission mode was a joke. misson mode ranged from to easy to accomplish to wtf ....can this move be done? but at the end the great aspects of this game out weigh its shortcomings. great game… Expand

    I'll start off by saying that this game is easy to pick up for anyone trying a taste for a good fighting game. Eventually though, if you thinkI'll start off by saying that this game is easy to pick up for anyone trying a taste for a good fighting game. Eventually though, if you think you're good enough, you will find the need to master the characters you love, this is difficult; not per say as hard as SSF4, but difficult nonetheless. It requires constant practice and devotion, otherwise you will be destroyed in a ranked match against someone who knows his stuff! The only downfall to this game is not being able to watch live online matches; all we see is two player cards having sex? Anyways there's too much going on at once to do so, and it would literally collapse if we had full lobby watching and two players fighting it out. I give the game a solid 8, personally I am not amazing at it, but if you keep trying, the game has something for everyone. Buy it only if you know you're willing to dedicate hours of your time to it. The reward is just destroying noobs online and having a good laugh.… Expand
