    MvC3 is the same crazy, over-the-top fighting game that fans loved back in 2000, just with a fresh control scheme and a new coat of 3D, hi-res paint. Fighting game fans will fall in love with the "easy to play, hard to master" format.

    The possibilities are endless, and you'll experience something new in every match you play. Try to leave your preconceived notions about what this game should be at the door, pick it up, and just have fun because that's what this game is all about.

    So, if you like fighting games and are looking for something new then by all means get this. If not, then rent it first and see if the lure of Ryu versus Spider-Man in glorious 3D for ever more is enough to suck you right in for the purchase when it's time to give it back to the store.

    There's a lot to love for longtime franchise fans and new challengers alike with fighting that's excitingly frantic.

    The arcade mode is very short, and the lack of substantial unlockables makes this one a bit of a bummer in terms of play value. Still, you'll at least have fun both online and offline with the new battle system.

    It's a gorgeous fighter with vast depth, but it slightly lacks the tightness and coherence that made Street Fighter 4 such an instant classic.

    MvC3 tends to emphasize flash over substance... and that's totally cool, for some folks, as MvC3 is going to divide the fighting game audience, including series faithful. Some will like that it's more accessible (if a bit stripped down), while others will decry the dumbing-down of their favorite series and its lack of arcade sauce.

    The majority of comments sounds as if the people have only played the game for a few hours, there is tons of complexity and combinationsThe majority of comments sounds as if the people have only played the game for a few hours, there is tons of complexity and combinations through the basic controls of L/M/H/A just do a basic youtube search and see the combos are as advanced as any other game.

    This is a great game and I find myself enjoying it a lot more then other fighters, some of the characters probably need a bit of tweaking but that's what you'd expect from a vanilla game.    … Expand

    This is a game that is totally worth renting, it is an amazing fighting game by any standards but its longevity and variety are what hold itThis is a game that is totally worth renting, it is an amazing fighting game by any standards but its longevity and variety are what hold it back from being a truly remarkable game. The reason MVC2 has withheld its place in cult gamers hearts for so long is because of how complex and intricate the fighting system was for the experts and how accessible it was for someone who just wanted to see their favorite comic book hero brought to life by the talented developers at Capcom. The more developers stop taking chances the more homogenized the gaming industry will become, just as the music and film industry have. They found a winning formula that worked with Street Fighter IV and they were so quick to cash in on the possibility of rebooting another great IP that they forgot what made MVC2 so endearing in the first place. While i certainly enjoyed the fighting, control scheme, and wonderful visuals, i am turned off by the lack of variety and content.… Expand

    Loved MvC and MvC2, but MvC3 is almost a different game altogether. Much of the mechanics of the game take little or no skill to pull offLoved MvC and MvC2, but MvC3 is almost a different game altogether. Much of the mechanics of the game take little or no skill to pull off insane combos. Actually the Xbox 360 version just requires you to launch someone in the air, hit them a few times, hit A in a direction, rinse, and repeat just to juggle an opponent between an entire party. Too easy to pull off and does more damage than it should, with the simplicity of it being considered. Balancing is still an issue when all you see online, for the most part, is Sentinel and Phoenix. Perfect example of game-breaking, flawed, mechanics would be Dark Phoenix/X-Factor. If you haven't heard or witnessed it, you should look into it. Online is horrid for the most part, and is pretty difficult to get into a quick match with. The main game is solid and I do love the little endings that each character has.… Expand

Combos are unbreakable. Half the capcom characters can kill any character in the game with one combo. Campers (zoners) just chip all your life away with x-factor. characters have abilities that make no sence. people online only pplay with 5 of the characters because they are the 5 most powerful characters. teleport change-ups run rampant and are impossible to block. wesker, akuma, sentinel over-powered. just trash and UMVC3 is too… Expand
