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
- A massive number of characters to play as
- Tag-team element adds a fun strategic component to the gameplay
Cons: - Characters were drawn at low resolution

Summary: One of the Best fighting games to date.
Comment: Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for the Dreamcast plays so much better then on the PS2 or Xbox. Not sure how these systems messed it up some. After trying to play it on the PS2 I only wanted to go back to the Dreamcast with this game. Plus the PS2 version is rediculously expensive, just because its rare and the worst part, It's in a CD FORMAT!!! it does not work on all PS2 systems. X-Box is just bulky. Made for people with Gian hands.
Hands Down Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is best appreciated on the Dreamcast. It's not F%@# up unlike PS2 and X-box.
Runs smooth and you can unlock all characters in no time.
Get the Dreamcast, Get this game. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Chaos at its Finest
Comment: The craziest 2D Fighting game thus far, Marvel vs Capcom 2 delivers a fresh new experience that will continue to stand the test of time with its hyper gameplay, number of characters, gameplay elements, and strategic depth.
***Story***
Unlike the previous versus titles, the story doesn't seem to be anything significant. The most that can be made out of the game is that the ENTIRE story revolves around the Ruby Heart and her Ship. The ending is generally the same, just images of the characters interacting with one another in still frames.
***Gameplay***
Lightning fast and changed from the previous Versus titles. The game still utilizes six buttons; however, only four buttons are used for attacks, the other two buttons are used for assists.
For anyone who doesn't (FOR ANY REASON) know how the controls work by now JP doubles for JP and SP when pressed consecutively. The same goes with the SK button, SK pressed in a consecutive manner will register as SK and FK immediately after. The FP and RK have their own buttons and as stated before, the Third Punch and Kick buttons summons your assists.
Assists can be assigned types whereby when summoned, they perform that type of attack. Ex: If you were to select Cammy and set her as a ground type, whenever she is summoned to assist, she will use cannon drill. When summoned for a team hyper combo or chain hyper combo, she will utilize her Cannon Drill).
Short Learning curve--the game becomes addicting and easy to pick up, but difficult to completely master.
***Graphics***
The new 3D backgrounds are quite appealing. They animate quite nicely.
The character models are still consist of the Alpha series models (All Street Fighter Characters) and Dark Stalkers models (from the original titles as well).
Some characters have hyper combos that present them from a different perspective. Ex: Anakaris will grow to epic proportions while facing the audince/screen and use his hands to attack his opponent.
The characters animate fluidly and the new lighting and special effects blend into the game quite well.
***Music/Sound***
The soundtracks you remember from the previous versus games have been replaced by jazz and j-pop.
The characters all retain their previous voice overs and the sound effects remain the same for the most part. The newly introduced characters voices have been done well, too.
Pros:
+Hyper, Fast and Fun
+Competitive Fighter
+Creates New Depth with its New Features and Gameplay
+56 Characters to choose from
+Lots of Unlockables
+The Game's Boss is a Little more of a challenge This time Around
Cons:
-Character Artwork
-Cable Can Be a Cheap Character by Players Deparate to Win
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Epic!
Comment: 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.

Summary: the game is excellent
Comment: 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
Customer Rating:
Summary: 56 characters that you can select to fight
Comment:
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.
