    Without a doubt, Capcom has successfully re-marketed what should have been a series of downloadable content packs into a fully-fledged disc release.

    Despite whatever disagreements may come from its adjusted gameplay, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 can still be a fun game, and even more so with its amended online components.

    I bought MVC3 on opening day and was very disappointed with it, mainly because of the online compared to super street fighter4. Well CapcomI bought MVC3 on opening day and was very disappointed with it, mainly because of the online compared to super street fighter4. Well Capcom has brought out UMVC3 and I must admit that this is a solid game all round. Online is allot funner to play because now you can actually spectate matches instead of just waiting around in the lobby for matches to be over. The 12 new characters that they added are extremely cool to play with especially Iron fist who plays like a super hero version of feilong. I have been waiting for a fighting game that could take me from SSF4 for a long time and it looks like Capcom has done that for me with UMVC3. The game controls are easy to learn but UMVC3 gets very difficult when you compete at a competitive level so just be aware of that, definitely a game that makes you spend alot of time in the lab but the results are worth it if you are into fighting games.… Full Review »

    What a waste of money! All of the things they could have done right with this game, and what do we get? They actually buff several top tierWhat a waste of money! All of the things they could have done right with this game, and what do we get? They actually buff several top tier characters and nerf a couple bottom tiers. And in typical capcom fashion, they nerf wolverine to the point of uselessness rather than taking out the things that made him overpowered. And who asked for mashable hypers?! What exactly will that add to the gameplay?! And the new characters are just as scatter-shot as the balancing, there are some great picks (Vergil, Strider, Ghost Rider) some okay picks (Doctor Strange, Nova, Hawkeye) and WTF picks (Rocket Raccoon, Nemesis, Phoenix Wright). Don't even get me started on the "new" stages.… Full Review »
