TotalGames.net
The most beautifully balanced, well-crafted 2D beat-‘em-up to grace God’s fair Earth.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
This time we're treated to 2D characters on top of 3D backgrounds - major improvement. [Dec 2001, p.160]

Total Video Games
You’ll know by now not to expect any radical changes, but a better game through slow refinement and evolution, and for this reason only purists will want this title if they own the original.
90
GamePro
Hardly a groundbreaking fighting game, but it delivers a massive lineup of classic characters coupled with a tried-and-true fighting engine. It’s rock-solid fighting, plain and simple.

GameShark
It seems that Capcom does listen to its followers, because CVS2 is light year ahead of its predecessor, in game play, options, and presentation.
85
GameZone
Like a large pot of soup. The soup makes a great dinner for the first few days, but by the end of the week, it isn't quite as appetizing as it was before.
84
GameSpy
Its depth is certainly daunting... it's only appealing in the long term for those who are willing to devote some time to learning its intricacies.

IGN
A very fine 2D fighter...The only disadvantage to its arrival on PS2 is the inevitable difficulty caused by the PS2 controller, and with luck that will be remedied by a decent fighting solution soon.
82
Electronic Gaming Monthly
It’s like every aspect of 2D fighting history converging on a single screen, and it’s almost mind-boggling. [Dec 2001, p.236]
81
GameSpot
One of the best 2D fighting games available, not just on the PlayStation 2, but on any system.
80
Yahoo! Games
A great modern anthology of 2D fighters. If you go gaga over every new Capcom or SNK fighter released, you’ll absolutely love this game.
80
GamePen
The largest problem with this game seems to be the difficulty. The end-game bosses are seriously some of the hardest I’ve ever seen in a fighting game.
80
Hot Games
A wonderful showcase for those forgotten SNK fighters, but it’s also geared for highly knowledgeable players who know the difference between a cross-up and a deep cross.

Thunderbolt
Retro fighting game fans, don’t pass this up.
79
Gamezilla!
Given the graphics power of the PS2, the thing I found myself wanting the most were high quality character animations. CvS2 often looks just like the same old sprite fighters we’ve seen over the last few years.
78
Game Informer
I love the color edit and backgrounds, and the character list can't be beat. [Dec 2001, p.95]
75
Game Revolution
Ultimately too much like many of the Capcom fighters that have come before it.
75
Cloudchaser
As for sound, you'll probably feel the same way I do if you play this game frequently: Can the announcer please just shut up?! I mean, for just one second?
75
Gaming Age
Does what the first one did and ups the ante with more characters and grooves, but doesn’t do too much new from the first.
70
PSX Nation
A collaboration of love for gamers who have been fanatics of either or both series.
67
XenGamers
Although Capcom vs. SNK 2 doesn’t break any new ground, there is enough depth here to keep any 2D fighting game fan happy.

All Game Guide
Those who haven't played a fighting game in a long time might also be impressed, but the weak visuals will be a major turnoff for the average gamer.
