Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a classic 2D team based Fighting game that has something for a wide range of gamers both old and new, beginner or pro.
Pros
+ Easy to pick up but hard to master type gameplay
+ A wide range of characters to select from with different skill sets
+ Wonderful pixel art graphics that have become more enjoyable over time
+ An iconic soundtrack (the character select screen music should be in a video game music hall of fame)
Cons
- As with most fighting games, there is not much of a story here
- Poor balancing (Some characters easily over power others objectively, but this can always be worked around via house rules)
Overall: Especially with the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 has something for virtually any type of gamer. Whether you like comic books, pixel art, MCU, anime, easy to pick up games, games with depth, fighting games, or video games in general. It' should be considered for any gaming collection for any console it was released on, and is a must play for fighting game aficionados, as well as Marvel or Capcom fans.
