My Top Ten Playstation 2 Games #5: Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Loved the hell out of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. A decent fighter with such fan-match-ups made in heaven. Fuck Mortal Kombat vs DC, this is the shit right here. 

I also loved the fact that I bought a used PS2 copy for $35 and sold it a few years down the road for almost $80.

Things I Hate; Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game. However I played this after getting a taste of the 2nd game. 

Granted the fighting gameplay is solid and about as good as the 2nd game. 

However I couldn't stand the lackluster roster. The 2nd game has so many characters, and the first game has about as much as any early fighting game from the 90's. They added some other characters as mini-helpers but it wasn't the same. 

Things I Like: Marvel vs Capcom 2

I really only bought this game for only one reason, and that was to have all sorts of character match-ups between my favorite Marvel vs Capcom characters. Ideas like this are oddly untouched. Guess most companies fight over money. 

You defiantly got a lot of people to choose from here too. Some of these people I had no fucking clue who they were. I was sad to hear that the 3rd game doesn't have such a plentiful roster. 

The game isn't the greatest, and you can button-mash a bit to victory, but it's solid and has a lot of replay value. I think I need to get me a copy of the XBLA version.
