Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (Sega Dreamcast, 2000)

I sure wish I hadn't sold my Dreamcast with this excellent title. I used to play this game all the time when I was younger. You get an excellent array of characters that you can't possibly compare to any other fighting game. Includes 2 of my favorite super-hero companies! Great Capcom style fighting game which allows you to pick 3 different heroes to alternate against your opponent. This is a must have for any gamer aficionado. I wonder if they'll ever make a 3rd version, sigh :(

This is just a great action packed fighting game. Sequel to Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. With a whopping cast of 56 characters to choose from this 3 on 3 tag battle fighting game never gets old. Every character has has 3 different assists to choose from. Tons of character and move combinations. This title was released on dreamcast sometime in 2000. It's now 2009 and major tournaments are still being held for this game. IT'S THAT GOOD!

I have a passion for Marvel Comics so I bought the game to indulge my pleasure in seeing the Hulk trying to rip the head off Ryu and Mega Mince. There's only 7 Marvel characters to choose from, which is disappointing considering the limiting amount of moves each character can perform. And did I mention the poor dreamcast controller that makes aircombos nearly impossible to pull off with grace amongst other deficiencies. Recommended because of the sheer joy of controlling the likes of Spider-Man and Wolverine in a fighting game.

Pros:

- Fast paced
- Flashy super moves
- 3 characters per team
- Up to 6 characters on the screen at a time
- Combo system allows for many consecutive hits
- Tons of levels and characters to unlock
- Great cast of characters
- Single player mode will keep you entertained for hours, day, weeks, and possibly even months.
- Two player mode will keep you entertained for years!
- The Dreamcast version feels much more like the arcade version than the PlayStation 2 version. It is a very noticeable difference to me. I believe this is because Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the arcade uses the Sega Naomi board. The Sega Naomi board is essentially a Dreamcast system, but with twice as much system and video memory, and four times as much sound memory. I assume it was easier to port this game to the Dreamcast than it was to port it to the PlayStation 2.

Cons:
- The character select screen has one annoying song that constantly loops itself.

A Classic game, good fighting sequences, combos and adrenalin pumping game. A must have in your collection of fighting games if u are a Street Fighter fanatic. Really rare and expensive, so get 1 while u can.
