   I borrowed MvC3 when it came out because it didn't look that great to me & lack a Spectator mode so hey I saved 60$, When I found out about the new game that had a bunch of new things like modes, tweaks to characters, better online, 12 new characters & 8 stages I was like now that's worth my money & so I bought plus it was only 40 bucks so it was a steal. While the controls are still a dumbed down MvC2 model, they controls are tighter than in Vanilla so you can get away with things like in Vanilla & while most problems were removed some still remain like a few glitches but not a lot of them. UMvC3 is not for casual friendly like MvC3 so casuals should stay away if they don't feel like learning how to fight properly & just want to mash buttons to claim victory.

   1. X-Factor lvl3 is still a little to good & needs to be toned down a little bit more.
   2. Some characters got moves they didn't need.
   3. Some characters got nerfs they didn't need… Expand

   Yes yes this game has a few balancing issues. But overall it's a great game. Gosh.. how I remember those times when I would duel opponents face to face on coin operated arcades back in the days. Now I can do it in the comfort of... my own Toilet! The only drawback of this game for me , is really their online scoring system on network mode. I've faced countless opponents who always leave the game when they're about to lose so it doesnt affect their online scoring. tsk.. give me a break. One even scored 98-0 on the ladder. riggght..… Expand

   Character interactions aside, this game is short on charm and personality, despite the reservoir of characters and franchises it draws upon. As a beat-em-up, it excels with all the competence you should expect from a Capcom title; an impressive roster, varied move sets, technical opportunities etc are all in abundance. However, take away the competition presented by a lag-ridden online component and you're left with some very slim pickings to scrape up. Offline gameplay offers a short arcade mode halted by an anti-climatic boss fight against Galactus, a merciless trials mode that fails to initiate newcomers, and a cookie-cutter training mode. A disappointment when compared to the rival beat-em-up of the year, and hopefully not an indication of what to expect from Street Fighter X Tekken.… Expand

   This game had a lot of hype and a lot of promise but couldn't deliver and couldn't live up to what it was speculated to be. The story mode for the game is very lazy. Graphics are okay (about 6/10 but much better than MvC2). The negatives highly outweigh the positives for this game. The DLC you buy in the original MvC3 doesn't transfer to UMvC3 so you have to buy it over again when it's the Exact same game with the exact same moves only some of their properties change and 12 new characters. The original MvC3 came out months before. There shouldn't be a release of the same game in the same year it was released even if it does have new characters and patches for old ones. This isn't a completely different game, it's the same game with a patch and 12 new characters which should have been DLC for the original MvC3. The music in the game is okay (5/10) could use a little more variety. After beating the story and finding your best teams it offers very little except versing friends or people online. If you only verse the cpu before playing others then you'll most likely find your most effective teams are spamming teams. There is almost no creativity with online battles. The combos in this game look very flashy and inspire much creativity with the many different assists although some combos are incredibly long and boring for the other person to not be able to do anything but watch as his character dies aside from the guessing game of up/down/left/right for TAC's in the event that the opponent decides to do a TAC. A few cast members and teams are very over-powered compared to majority of the cast but many teams are still viable. Pheonix, Dante, Vergil, and Wesker alone have much more options than majority of the cast and on there own can take out majority of the cast on a well constructed team. If you just want to combo people with some of your favorite characters this game will be fun for about 6 months to possibly 3 years if you have friends. Some of the better characters you'll come across like Wesker, Vergil, Magneto, Wolverine, Storm, and Sentinel are noob friendly. If you're looking to be the best you'll be playing with the same characters as majority other players and will most likely include at least 1 of the 8 characters above or a team based off some kind of gimmick. The game offers very little other than mission mode to get new comers into the game on a deeper level. Without the release of the original MvC3 this game would receive a slightly better score of 4 to 4.5 out of 10 so as you can see it didn't affect the score of this game THAT much because it was only one point. Other than that this game was judged on its own content. The concentrated categories were story, sound, graphics, and game-play although some attention was given to the lack of additional content, modes, etc.… Expand
