selected, the player has to select one of two "Mid-Game Participants": "Friend (Team Member)" or "Foe (Opponent)". One player can either fight alone or team up with a second player against opponents throughout this mode. The object of this mode is to knock out several characters in order of appearance throughout the Operation: Galactic Storm story arc. Each player will have two lives either at the beginning or when continuing. When completed, the game will force players to fight previously fought characters randomly selected and played by the computer player. When two players team up, and when both players' power bars are full, one of the players can create a "double-powerful tandem move", a duplex desperation move which is another unique feature of the game later inspiring others like Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes and Rage of the Dragons. "VS Mode" is like most multiplayer modes of other 2D versus fighting games, which two players fight head-to-head against each other. Plot The game's plot and roster of playable characters and their assistant characters are based on the Operation: Galactic Storm story arc. All the characters in the game are voiced by Jon St. John and Lani Minella. Characters Playable characters Avengers: Captain America Black Knight Crystal Thunderstrike Kree: Korath-Thak Doctor Minerva Shatterax Supremor Galen Kor (non-playable boss) Assist characters Avengers: Iron Man Thor Vision Giant Man Kree: Atlas Sentry Ronan Ultimus Reception Computer and Video Games called the game an improvement over Data East's previous versus fighting game, Fighter's History. They wrote that the 3D rendered graphics were just as good as the ones in Killer Instinct, but called the backgrounds "totally flat". The magazine said that the game was not bad, was "not great either". A reviewer for Next Generation stated that despite the Avengers license, innovative assist character mechanic, and graphics (like Computer and Video games, he compared them favorably to those of Killer Instinct), at Golfland he observed a huge crowd around the Street Fighter Alpha 2 cabinet while one person was playing Avengers in Galactic Storm. He theorized that even with all its attractive "bells and whistles", the game could not complete in a market presently flooded with outstanding fighting games due to its merely average gameplay and character animations. He scored it 2 out of 5 stars. References External links Avengers in Galactic Storm at Arcade History Avengers in Galactic Storm at Giant
