Editorial Review:
Just when it seems 3-D fighting games have permanently made 2-D fighting games obsolete, something like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 comes along and proves just how deep and fun 2-D fighters can be. It's better than its predecessor in every way, and arguably the best 2-D fighting game to grace the Dreamcast.
The amount of playable characters is enough to put any fighting fan's salivary glands in overdrive. Beginning with favorites such as Spider Man, Wolverine, Ryu, and Chun Li, players can eventually unlock 56 characters. We had our hands full just mastering a few of these fighters, and getting familiar with all 56 would take months of intense practice. There are almost too many moves, all depicted with superb animation and augmented by several tag-team combos. When the match begins, you can pick three characters. Once things heat up, you can call in your pals to unleash a massive move on your opponent. This adds immensely to the game's depth, and button mashers will be in for a shock when they find that their mistimed tag-team moves backfire.
Visually, this game is intense. The large characters are slightly jagged around the edges, but that's more than compensated for by the massive amount of animation frames, colorful special effects, and stunning 3-D backgrounds that are loaded with detail. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 also delivers a sonic performance that is nearly arcade-perfect. This is a must-buy for any fighting fan, especially those who have a couple of buddies to bash. Just be prepared to put in a lot of time in practice mode if you want to get good. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros: - Brilliant 3-D backgrounds

Rating:  - Epic!
I was never a fan of tag-team 2D fighters until I picked up this title.With a deep roster, crisp graphics and no slowdown this is a must-have for a DC owner. The only downside is that there isn't much single-player replay values. Only modes are arcade mode and once the unlockables are done the game will likely sit on the shelf. A few more game modes would have been nice but overall a must have for a 2D fight enthusiast.
Rating:  - the game is excellent
i love all the chosable charaters 56 from the marvel and capcom universe my favorite fighters are seorm,cyclopes, and cable but all the fighters are great and it a great game
Rating: - 56 characters that you can select to fight
Yes this game has 56 characters that you can completely control.
Unlike part 1 where there were special characters that can only help you, but not fight for you. In this part 2, you can completely control everyone.
I am rating this game 4 stars rather than 5, because there is one very annoying factor: In order to unlock the secret fighters, you have to play the game for MANY, MANY hours in order to earn points. You use the points as money to unlock the secret fighters. ... Read More

For any die-hard 2-D fighting enthusiasts who were waiting for the next groundbreaking title, you got the predecessor to this game, which, when it debuted in arcadez, wuz one sweet deal. However, I remember itz own predecessor, Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter, which I believe wuz the best in the long-running series of high-flying, button-mashing extravaganzas (feat. the non-pilot pilot, X-MEN: Children of the Atom; Marvel Super Heroes, which truly defined the game-type and engine that would accompany ...
