Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a huge game! It has 56 fighters but sadly a lot were fill-ins (can anyone say Serve-Bot). I expected better than to throw exact ports of old characters, what kills the 56 character draw is the fact that many were ported over AS IS with NO GRAPHIICAL IMPROVEMENTS and with NO NEW MOVES (Iron Man, Morrigan, Thanos etc.).
Some characters in MVC2 are rad like Guile, Captain Commando and the Resident evil girl but the others are mostly plain and dead. My biggest gripe is that characters such as Thor, Daredevil or Mr Fantastic are absent but cheap ports such as Thanos (who looks UGLY as well as Morrigan) are there. WHO CARES we want real fighters not add-ins!! MVC2 has sweet graphics, cool backrounds, fast action but too much cheap play. The partners who help are just abused and when they are I abuse them to the extent that when it is their turn to fight they have little energy.
The action gets old when you realise that only a handful of the 56 are actually playable and can compete in this game (beat the game on level 8 with a party of Serve Bot, Roll and Dan, I dare ya).
Overall I wanted deep 2D fighter with class but got a 2D fighter with too much reharshes. Its fun for a while but you'll move on. I recommend Power Stone 2
