Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium Movie 8
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 19 out of 22
  2. Negative: 0 out of 22
  1. The most beautifully balanced, well-crafted 2D beat-‘em-up to grace God’s fair Earth.
  2. It seems that Capcom does listen to its followers, because CVS2 is light year ahead of its predecessor, in game play, options, and presentation.
  3. 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.
  4. Retro fighting game fans, don’t pass this up.

    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.

    I love the color edit and backgrounds, and the character list can't be beat. [Dec 2001, p.95]
  7. 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.

    I really liked the game, but I would have liked it more if both companies were equally balanced. What I mean is Capcom gets more glory then I really liked the game, but I would have liked it more if both companies were equally balanced. What I mean is Capcom gets more glory then SNK and Capcom is heard more often then SNK, don't get me wrong, I know that Capcom made this game, but SNK allowed their charecters to be molded in the way of Capcom's choosing, SNK at least needs the same amount of attention as Capcom. Maybe SNK may not be as popular as the Capcom games, but what about the hard core SNK players [like me] who like King of Fighters better then Street Fighter? I will get off that subject and move on to the next one: Stages, simply put, there aren't enough stages in this game, I mean how many stages are there, 10? Considering that there are over 44 charecters, 10 stages doesn't go well with so huge a lineup. One point I will compliment is the Color Edit mode where you can change absolutely everything about any charecter and make him or her any color you want, the downside: it's too difficult and sometimes that makes you change something about someone you don't want changed. Also about special moves, I think since Capcom made the game they could have made some of the charecters moves more like the Capcom fighter's moves like Terry's down back down forward punch for Power Geyser could be changed to down forward down forward punch so it can be more in synch with the street fighter's move lists. Although I am glad they gave Terry a new finisher move called Buster Wolf it is cooler then his old finisher from King of Fighters 99 move done the same way. Also, where is Andy Bogard? Is he unlockable? I have only played it once and if Terry and Joe are in this game, where is Andy? Expand

    This game was bad. Worse than playing an original Nintendo game. Really no improvement. Very big disappointment.
