    There have been a few fighting games that have already come out the last year, and for the most part they’ve been very good.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite whilst not as good as some of the other fighting games this year is a very good addition to the genre and it’s a game packed with fun and decent action. The fighting gameplay has been done really well and their is a great deal of strategy to be had when in battle. The strategy in the game is mainly down to the inclusion of infinity stones, and this inclusion makes every fight feel unique and keeps things fresh throughout. The story in the game was very enjoyable, and my favourite part about it was that they made every character feel important, which is great. The roster of characters though wasn’t as big as I thought it was going to be and there are plenty of characters missing, which is a bit of a let down. In terms of content the game has plenty for you to sink your teeth into, and each mode feels as though it’s had a lot of effort put into it. My favourite thing about the game is that it has catered to all skill levels so nobody gets left out, which is great. The presentation side of the game is something I was really disappointed with. The visuals and sound design are really lacking, and you just get a generic feel with nothing much standing out, which is a shame. At the end of the day Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a game that ticks a lot of boxes, and the most important thing is that it remains enjoyable throughout. I wouldn’t say it’s as good as previous fighters this year, but it does enough to join these fighters and it can at times offer a unique experience. Fans of Marvel and Capcom will enjoy this game a great deal and it gets the main aspects right so it gets a big thumbs up from me.… Expand

    Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is incredible! The game is great, extremely fun, the gameplay / gameplay itself is the best ever made in the franchise. It is fun, balanced and fluid.

The graphics are not ugly as they seem in Youtube videos, when you play the game in front of you, the graphic is beautiful, nothing amazing, but it is far superior to MvsC3. The game takes advantage of the old characters, but there was a deep balance, and new skills. The characters are better worked and deep. The developers have already said that they have had to take advantage of many characters because of the low budget given by Capcom. The game is not good for casuals, there is not much offline content, but those who like fighting games will fall in love with this game. The criticism was perverse, and the game the guys speak badly because one follows the opinion of the other, without playing and analyzing.… Expand

    I see where capcom is going with this..I'm sorry for all the cheesballs from UMVC3 who can't do those 999 hit combos and repetitive boring loopers.

    It's unforgivable that in 2017 a new Marvel vs Capcom game would look so bad......characters' models look plastic and stiff, horrid story line and lack of key characters that have always been part of the franchise........a total disaster.

    Before I get into the review of this game, I would like to point out that I am reviewing this game as it is; I am not scoring it based on the fact I am seriously disappointed in Marvel and Capcom for removing the X-Men (and Fantastic Four, but no one cares about them) from the lineup all together. This was reportedly due to Marvel’s big cross marketing policy, as the game was developedBefore I get into the review of this game, I would like to point out that I am reviewing this game as it is; I am not scoring it based on the fact I am seriously disappointed in Marvel and Capcom for removing the X-Men (and Fantastic Four, but no one cares about them) from the lineup all together. This was reportedly due to Marvel’s big cross marketing policy, as the game was developed prior to their acquisition of Fox Studios. With this being said, I would not have purchased the game if Venom was not added. With the omission of the X-Men, whom were a staple in this franchise prior to this entry, I would score this game much lower than the score shown.

    In the early 90’s, the X-Men and Street Fighter were both in their prime, and Capcom/Marvel took advantage of this by releasing X-Men vs Street Fighter. As a kid who loved both franchises, I was instantly drawn to the game, which has since evolved to not only include the characters from those series, but most of Capcom and Marvel’s line up. We have now reached the fourth entry in the series, so let’s see how it holds up.

    While Mortal Kombat (Capcom’s biggest competition for the fighting game crown) has evolved and added new features and characters over the years, the newest MvC feels a bit stagnant. Instead of the 3 vs 3 option the past 3 entries offered, we’re back to 2 vs 2. This would not be a huge issue if the fighters’ life bars did not seem to take millennia to be depleted, making single matches last a lifetime.

    The game features a fairly short story mode, which makes no sense. Sigma and Ultron have merged both universes and are ruling with an iron fist. Our heroes must join forces to take down the threat. Featuring cringe worthy dialogue that only Capcom could come up with, the story can be fun for fans of the respective characters, but overall is very forgettable. Sadly, the individual comic book endings offered in the previous entry for completing the arcade mode are no longer here. So there’s no real reward aside from some cosmetic things for your profile and extra colors for the characters you complete it with. You’ll also find the standard versus option and single fights, omitting any type of time attack or survival mode for leader board competition.

    The online modes are not much better in terms of variety, since player and ranked matches are the only current options. The online play itself is decent and will match you fairly quickly if someone is actually playing. More often than not, I was only able to find online matches by leaving the option to find a match on while playing against the AI.

    While the backgrounds are all animated well and highly detailed, the character models could use some work. Some, such as Chris Redfield, look waxy and muddy, making them look almost worse than their previous appearances. Most appear to be straight ports from Marvel vs Capcom 3, featuring the same move sets and models. The overall roster is respectable in terms of character quantity, but with most being rehashed and only a few new contenders (most of which require purchasing DLC), it comes across as another cash grab orchestrated by Capcom.

    There are a few exceptions to this, but most of the characters on the Marvel end are made to appear more in line with their Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance, since all of the characters but Venom have appeared in the MCU in one form or another. Rocket Raccoon is the only returning character with any new tricks up his sleeve, as he can now summon Groot as a support character.

    The only substantial addition to the combat is the option to select one of the Infinity Stones which have been missing from most of the previous games. Each will feature a different trait, ranging from putting your character in a box, creating a storm that will damage the opponent regularly, or simply create an additional projectile attack. That being said, it feels like the change to 2 vs 2 and the removal of the ability to jump high into the air for never ending air juggling combos makes this entry a step backwards.

    Unless you are trying to stay current for the tournament circuit, I would highly recommend this game only for those who haven’t visited the previous entry, as it is essentially the same game with very minor changes. If this doesn’t sound like you, it’s safe to say you can wait for the inevitable Super Hyper Ultra Mega Tournament Turbo Edition that Capcom will release in 3 months.    … Expand

    This game is a mistake. The roster is trash, the graphics are bad, arcade mode is an afterthought, story mode is BAD and the gameplay is not exciting as DBZ. Avoid this trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I WILL START OFF WITH THE POSITIVE: GAMEPLAY IS FAST & FLUID. SADLY THAT IS AS POSITIVE AS I CAN GO.
    NOW I WILL BE BRUTALLY HONEST, GAMERS AND FANS OF THIS FRANCHISE WILL BE BETTER SUITED TO SPEND THEIR MONEY ON MORTAL KOMBAT XL, KILLER INSTINCT DEFINITIVE EDITION, TEKKEN 7 OR INJUSTICE 1 OR 2. IM SORRY BUT CAPCOM FAILS TO DELIVER. FIRST SFV NOW THIS LACKLUSTER HALFA $$ED EFFORT
    THE DESEPTIVE TITLE AND SUBTITLE ARE OBVIOUS FROM THE VERY START. THIS IS NOT "MARVEL" VS "CAPCOM" BY ANY MEANS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TITLED "AVENGERS" aMOVIE CASH GRAB TIE-IN. THE ROSTER HAS NO CHARACTERS THAT I PERSONALLY COULD GIVE 2 SQUIRTS PF URINE ABOUT. THE STORY MODE IS RIDICULOUS AND POORLY CONCEIVED LET ALONE IMPLEMENTED. CHARACTERS ANIMATIONS ARE AT MASS EFFECT AMDROMEDA LEVEL. POOR FACIAL ANIMATIONS AND LIP SYNCHING. THE SUBTITLE "INFINITE" MAY DECEIVE GAMERS AS I FOR ONE HAD EXPECTED A MUCH MORE ROBUST CAST OF BOTH MARVEL & CAPCOM CHARACTERS.
    IN THE END HAMERS AND FANS WOULD BE WISE TO WAIT FOOR THE "SUPER ULTRA ULTIMATE DEFINITIVE EDITION".
    OH AND GET REAL FOLKS YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME THAT CAPCOM COULD NOT AFFORD LICENSING FEES FOR MORE MARVEL CHARACTERS OR EVEN THEIR OWN FRANCHISE CHARACTERS. NO WONDER CAPCOM CONTINUES TO RELINQUISH THEIR TITLE AS BEST FIGHTING GAME DEVELOPER TO NETHERREALM AND MICROSOFT STUDIOS. SAD. TRULY SAD.    … Expand

    Weak presentation, weak artwork, weak roster with extra characters behind a paywall and piss poor story. No x-men characters and the infamous akuma are also a deal breakers. Do not support this game

    After spending a fair bit of time with the many fighting games that have released this year, it’s fair to say Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is both slacking and lacking in comparison.

    Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite succeeds in some major ways. The gameplay is faster and more intense than ever before, even with a smaller roster. Aside from that, the story mode does what it needs to and manages to both tie events together while teaching players, in a fairly organic way, how to properly play the game. The graphics are definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but deliver more that works where it counts even if some animation and character model work would have helped the overall presentation a bit. The soundtrack is probably the best in the series – it may not be as outwardly catchy, but it’s far better for the actual game and makes each battle seem important.
