Marvel VS Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes PSN Review

[SoulSnatching]

The only thing that bothers me about this game is the incredible BAD music.

[CAVALLIN0]

does it have a good training mode?

[DEIVION212]

Honestly haven't a clue, I've never used it.

I find the best way to train is to VS a dormant pad and use the command list to practice moves.

[17jun1989]

There are two Wolverine because one is before Weapon X(Bone Claws) and other is after(Adamantium Metal Claws)

[Rickno7]

@17jun1989 I dont want to nerd out on you, but that isn't how it was. When this game was in developement, Wolverine had his adamantium stripped off by Magneto. During this couple of years he had bone claws. The mystery of if he had bones before weapon X or if his healing factor gave him bone claws was not solved until the mid 2000's. He got his adamantium back when Apocalypse made him the Horseman of Death.

[96Nathan96]

I love this game but the thing is the sound quality is pretty bad

[PS3WorldProductions]

there is really 55 characters theres 2 wolverines

[DEIVION212]

I know, but he's on as a seperate guy so he's counted twice. At the end of the day in the original Street Fighter Ken and Ryu were clones, but they're still 2 fighters.

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

this game is fun but broken as shit

[AlavritoRey]

Anyone want to game Share ? Add me n message gameshare psn name is Sgt_Alvaro I hav Shatter n Mushroom wars !

[iDidntTypeThis]

@AlavritoRey U got anything u can share with me in return???

[heyz0os]

@Burlesonman No because you forgot punctuations everywhere hahaha. Geez you want to impress me that bad? Next thing i know you will be begging me for dick, but you will keep begging because I said "No" instead of "now" :P

[heyz0os]

@Burlesonman "No" is spelled no. Not Now. I don't think failing at spelling a 2 letter word helps your credibility to correct someone else's grammatical errors. idiot.

[skyrock100]

@Burlesonman Spare me your english lesson. Go and play street fighter 1 like a good boy.

[ArmandoXIII]

@Burlesonman

I rather play good games and not look at the year they were created.

The fact that you rather look at the year before the quality makes it very clear for th e rest of us, you are fucking stupid, I have no time to argue with an idiot who can't use it's brain (as defective as it might be) to understand concepts such as quality, I won't reply to your following shitty comments, blocked.

[skyrock100]

@Burlesonman OWND bitch

[hoitdoigs]

Awesome accent.

[jlong908]

i like this port but i dont like that their is nothing to unlock

[ArmandoXIII]

@Burlesonman

You are fucking stupid lol.

[DEIVION212]

I think you'll find that Stret Fighter has never been cool as it was awful, however it's sequels and the genre still to this day are fucking huge.

[sindiewen]

Such a great game, but a HUGE learning curve (Like Counter Strike/Counter Strike Source), Its like a slanted towards you brick wall. You get your ass kicked by vets who have been playing this for 10+ years. You eather suck, or are good. Even though I suck, never won a match, I still have fun and I still try to beat the arcade mode :p

An arcade joystick makes this game a whole lot better and more fluent.

I cannot wait for Marvel Vs Capcom 3. That will be kick ass.

[cpt4497]

My PSN: cpt4497

I am willing to gameshare with anyone owning this game or any other one you have.

I own; Fat Princess and Cod WaW Nazi Zombies map pack.

[TifaL20]

I cant find this game on PSN did they get rid of it?

[thefallenone95]

@TifaL20 No, maybe you're looking wrong, yesterday i got this game and is awesome, i really missed playing whit Venom. ^^

[MrCelebsxxx]

this does not work any tool you need to download is a virus stay away if you want free psn codes then go to psncodegenerator info

[StormOwI]

Mega man and Spider man is an Awesome Team :3

[limpei1]

always finish this game with 1 credit at arcades

[9neto5]

wolverine war machine thats always my pick

hey question i have a ps3 how mych is this game

[DEIVION212]

Depends where you live, and it depends on what it's new price is (Went on sale recentally).

I'm going to say £12 or $15 but it may be less now.

[xbluefalconx]

i need help cuz i have the demo n i purchased the full game but i can get it 2 unlock :( HELP!!!!!!!!!

[DEIVION212]

So you deffinitely have the demo installed and then you downloaded and installed the key?

And it still isn't working?

If so, no idea bud, try customer support or there forums.

[xbluefalconx]

well.....i deleted the demo.....n then later i decided i wanted the full game.....n so i had 2 redownload the demo n install......but while i was in the psn store i pushed download in background n thats a no no.....but the customer support told me 2 delete everything that has 2 do with Marvel vs Capcom 2 that i have n all i could delete was the demo.....i dont know what 2 do *shrug* *sigh*

[DEIVION212]

Well that's pretty much all I can say as well, delete the lot, then download the demo (Only try doing it from the store instead of in the background) then download the key after the demo is installed.

If that still hasn't worked then I think it's fucked you over.

[xbluefalconx]

actually i think im fucked over lol.....Oh well its just one of those loses we all come across

[xbluefalconx]

well u think i should format my PS3? i mean idc about losing game saves but i do care about losing things i've purchased.

[DEIVION212]

Yeah I wouldn't format it if I were you, formatting usually leads to bad things.

[xbluefalconx]

ok thanks 4 the info......u have any more knowledge 4 me?

[DEIVION212]

Afraid not bud, this has really stumped me because I've never heard of it happening.

[xbluefalconx]

me either.......but i can really come up with some doozies 8P well thnx anyhow bub

[DEIVION212]

No probs, wish I could help more.

[RageOfLeoEX]

i still think this is the best fighting game i played..... other than street fighter 3 third strike.

[hybridRace92]

I remember I played the Ninja Gaiden trilogy pack on the SNES, and thats when Nintendo really put hair on your ballz. You play, you die, you get better, and when you win, ur on top of the fuckin world.

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, now you play, you don't die, you win and feel bored.

And have you seen the new VS game? Tatsunoko?

I've just got it and I put the review up last night, and it's a steaming heap of shite. It's awful, yet I'm getting flamed because Wii fanboys can't handle it when someone says a Wii game is shit.

Especially when it's getting good scores.

And those scores mean jack, because whenever I read a Wii review, it now seems standard to give it 3 points higher just to shut the whinging fanboys up.

[hybridRace92]

i actually bought TvC launch day, and imo, it kicks ass. MY team is Ryu and Frank West with the Mega Buster and Shinku Hadou Ken combo.

[DEIVION212]

I'm shocked, I can't stand it because of how they've ruined Ryu and the other fighters who used to have a hard kick and hard punch attack (I hate the 3 button system), how the tagging system NEVER seems to work, and I think the fighters list is lazy compared to this, a dreamcast game.

But each unto there own :)

[hybridRace92]

yea i feel you, but TvC still holds up to be my favorite Wii game. and I kinda liked the 3 button system. But when compared to MvC2, MvC2 is still better.

[RageOfLeoEX]

the only good thing about tatsunoko..... zero is in it. if it wasn't for that i wouldn't have got it.

tatsunoko was an ok game, but they need to put in characters that need to be in a crossover. like megaman x. no one gives him credit for anything.

[DEIVION212]

Yup, I'm sick to death of Ninty now.

Hope they go bust.

Because they've pissed me off too much and they've pissed off the hardcore gamer period, and casual is a fad and nothing more.

So I hope they go bust when this fad dies.

[DEIVION212]

Melee has 25 and about 7 clones.

Pikachu is Pichu, Marth is Roy, Mario is Luigi and Dr. Mario,, Link is Young Link, Fox is Falco and Captain Falcon is Gannondorf.

It's one of my all time favourite games and probably the game of this genre I've racked up the most hours on.

Shame Brawl is probably the biggest heap of shit on the fucking planet.

I hate Nintendo for this casual Wii shit!

[patrkcirtap]

i dont think this would be too fun online, as IGN showed off that two or three characters had infinite combos and how to do them

[UkeAgent21]

I am about to get a ps3.. and i have thought about getting this game.

People have told me that it is NOT a good buy. that it is too fast and ruins your childhood dreams...

I am thinking about just downloading a demo and trying it out myself... but im not sure... do YOU have any BAD stuff about this game?

[DEIVION212]

Only that this time they made every fighter unlocked as standard and I enjoyed unlocking them myself.

But you can change the speed of the game in the options, pretty sure you could back then too.

So if they're not happy, tell them to try Turbo instead of Turbo 2 :)

[manu0033]

i just got the game 2day.....n the video quality is not very good......iv try'd changein the settings but i cant get it 2 look like HD......can u help me plz??.......

[FlowFrasier]

my psn is geeseSNK

[Waluiginumberone]

Really fun game, though it's sad that they give you all the characters from the start. I would've prefered unlocking them.

[DEIVION212]

I know what you mean, gives you more lifespan.

You ever play Battle Arena Toshinden 3? Every fighter had an alternative to unlock, so it took ages to do :D

[subc666]

....I knew i didn't want to watch another review arrrgggggg i knew this would happen.....*Goes to the Playstation 3 to buy the game*

[DEIVION212]

I really do apologise XD

[subc666]

@DEIVION212 *insert evil monkey eyes* Naa it's all good I love MvC2 i just wished i didn't suck at it...oh well haha

[DEIVION212]

Lol :)

[LiangHuBBB]

GG.

[darksupersaiyangoku]

megaman,ryu and iron man 3 most used characters for me. :)

[link5283returns]

2 wolverines was a dumb idea, they should've just put someone else in his place and kept one wolverine

[DEIVION212]

You can't play as Abyss though.

[creepindevil]

any one wanna trade me psn mvc2 for psn games

[patsybob]

i have marvel vs. capcon 2 wot games do you have though?

[wodahsean]

got my ps3 today and i love it got to get this soon

[pokefanandy101]

the seriously need to be dreamcast for virtual console or marvel vs capcom 2 plus for wii ware xD

[DEIVION212]

I'd love to see DC games, maybe on the next console?

[pokefanandy101]

dc games could be on the next console, i think the next nintendo console will have virtual console with gamecube games xD

[Korudo]

"The music is fantastic"? I guess, but I've always thought the music was very unsuitable for a fighting game. I felt that way when I got MvC2 for Dreamcast, and I feel that way now.

[chahalele]

i bought this game for psn for 15 bucks and it doesnt show up on the ps3 do i have to get the demo or somthing to play

[DEIVION212]

If the download was KB's then yes, it's just an unlock code and you need both.

[roflpizza]

yeh

[Flowmasta]

why the hell is it so hard to do supers in this game? i can do the kick supers no problem ie: web assault but can't do punch supers ie: face crush

[DEIVION212]

I can do the supers with ease, but fighter swapping. I get killed so many times from being unable to tag out :(

[playkid27]

they should had 2pp and 2kk as the L2 and R2 buttons just like back then on the ps2. that would help ALOT for supers like cammy's air combo.

[DEIVION212]

You can set them to be 2 punches or kicks I believe in options.

[videomanfx]

Does the psn version of marvel vs capcom 2 support DUALSHOCK 3??? I want rumble. Soul Calibur on theps3 did not support rumble. Does this game???

[talaveramike101]

does any 1 want 2 gameshare for this game i have street fighter alpha and castlevania sotn

[uptownkev]

I download it on the ps3 but I cant find it. where would it be?

[DEIVION212]

Games folder waiting for install :)

[VideoLad1234]

Can't find this game on PS2 anywhere!

Did they do a LOW PRODUCTION RUN?

[AntoniustheGreat]

I think the musical score is awful as well. I hate it so much that it made me stop playing till I could upload some music to my PS3....

But I love the game. It so good.  Great review!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

It's odd because I usually don't even like techno yet for some reason I like this XD

[SevrenD]

tnx good review,im downloading it now

[DEIVION212]

Thanks yourself :)

[chatogardu]

Any1 down to play online add me psn game tag: k_sO11

[PhyA52]

I have to disagree with you Demon. This is some of the worst music in video game history.

[DEIVION212]

You don't like it? I love it :D

[PhyA52]

The only song that I like in this game is the menu music. It's really catch it and after 10 years I still haven't forgot it. The rest of the music is horrible and very out of place imo.

[DEIVION212]

So I take it you won't be downloading the full free O.S.T that's just nit NA's store XD

[PhyA52]

No sir lol.

[GripState]

dude i loved fighting to the jazz, was awesome

[kratoskillmachine]

my team is cable, cyclops, and gambit, sometimes i choose ironman or ken/ryu over gambit

[DEIVION212]

Man am I a fucking idiot. CABLE!

He's the one I bloody use!

Worst part is I beat the boss with him when I first beat it on the PSN!

[slowjoe789]

what is ur character combination i figuered out my best combination that i beat the shit out of my friends with is the team of omega red, iron man, and jill from resident evil

[DEIVION212]

Iron Man, Iron Man and Iron Man, lol.

Nah Iron Man and Ryu from SF and then I can't remember my 3rd so I'm going through them all until I remember who I used.

[DEIVION212]

Played, beaten, reviewed, sold :)

Brill game but not replayabillty IMO due to the lack of upgrades when compared to cash. Had over 600,000 grand left at the end of the game :(

[DEIVION212]

Yup, it's why I hated POP as well.

Time just doesn't work in games because it either simply doesn't work, or it works and then makes the game retardedly easy.

[DEIVION212]

A platformer that allows you to use time travel, so if you mess up and die, you can rewind and live. And I hate that in games.

[DEIVION212]

No idea bud. I think I tried the demo on the 360 though and wasn't too keen in all honesty. Unless I'm getting mixed up.

I know I hate Braid, lol. Tried the Steam and XBL demo and I just find it boring.

Not my type fo thing Braid.

[wolfimaru]

wats weird is that i have the game that i downloaded from the psn i looked for the games from my files it wasnt their but yea i know it sounds weird but how did yours work.

[DEIVION212]

Just as always bud, I add funds, confirm payment, download. Then when downloaded I install and go into my PSN games folder and bam, there.

[DEIVION212]

In the original you had to unlock them, I'm sure of it.

But it's one of those, unlocking can get boring and irritating in certain genre's, and with fighters I think that's one of those where I just want the lot right away so I can find who I was to use ASAP.

[DEIVION212]

Yeah it's the the menu's in the Wii symbol I was on about, lol. They could be so much faster if they were done out in channel form.

[DEIVION212]

Wii menu's not bad but it's VERY slow and inneficient in places.

[DEIVION212]

The menu's, when I first got my 360 I was in heaven they were so basic and simple NOTHING could ever go wrong, now...

[DEIVION212]

Because I've experienced more lag on the Live service than on the PS3 or P.C (Ninty still wins on worst online XD).

I have problems on the 360 that I never have on other systems.

I can't believe they charge you for it. And now, it's horrid. I used it the other day for the first time in about a year and WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE EASY TO NAVIGATE MENU'S?!

I was lost for hours :(

[DEIVION212]

Yup, had that happen and it SUCKS! :(

[MRDONNY2]

i can't wait to get this game but when i do please add me on psn..meangreen4000

[roflpizza]

says the guy who plays t his game on the shitbox360

seriously the controller sucks for fighters

@

buy this game for multiplayer only seriously arcade is a bitch

[DEIVION212]

Controller is awful but I don't think the PS3 is amazing either.

Best pad for a fighter, SNES pad back in the 90's. Seriously, still use them today and I can't believe how much better I am at pulling off moves with it.

[GranKnight87]

Thanks for the video

And you're smart (i think so) you buy your games for psn NICE 5/5

[DEIVION212]

Out of PS3 and 360 I always buy PS3, because I've had 5 360's and only 2 PS3's.

No surprise that my Wii hasn't died once. I say no surprise because my SNES and N64 still work. Ninty seem to be able to make a console like no one else XD

Shame they can't make games anymore though XD XD XD

[cossieboy2007]

excellent review mate!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[DEIVION212]

I missed the first too :)

Oh Melee, how I love you :D

[DEIVION212]

I don't think 2 is as good as 1. And the DS one was only good if you were left handed. Seriously, every righty I knew who had it hated the controls, but lefties loved it.

[slowjoe789]

tell if you agree they should of put wesker in instead of jill i think it would been a lot cooler

[DEIVION212]

I want to know why there's not a single member of the Fantastic 4.

[slowjoe789]

mabye marvel sold them to dc or something becuase i thought it was wierd because they had doctor doob but none of the fantastic four

[DEIVION212]

Yup, and what with Iceman from the X being on, why not Human Torch?

I mean I love Wolverine and all, but why did we get 2 that are identacle move wise?

[slowjoe789]

yeah that what i was thinking maBYE they are going to make downloadable content for that

[DEIVION212]

Yeah it'd be nice to see new characters after all this time, but I doubt they'll mess with it :(

[slowjoe789]

thats true i bet not because a lot of people will say ur messing with the orginallity of it

[kingofgames93]

can somebody help me i just bought/downloaded the marvel vs. capcom 2 off psn and i can't find it anywhere .. -_-

[DEIVION212]

If you've downloaded it, goto games and install it. If you've bought it, goto my downloads and download it.

[Mickeymac92]

Heh, I'm still not sure whether to get this game. The XBLA version felt a little too loose last time I played the demo, however, it had been a really long time since I played a VS. Series game.

I recently replayed the other Marvel Vs. games, and remembered how much I loved them, so now I might want to give this game a second chance.

And thanks for the vid! I didn't realize there was so little to the singleplayer portion - I coulda sworn the DC version had more.=/

[DEIVION212]

I thought so too. Odd.

[kaido212]

3 juggernauts on lvl 4 damage is insta kill lol

[DEIVION212]

Think 3 Iron Men is too if you catch them just right.

[Abvance]

Ah man don't suppose you could share this with me lol

[DEIVION212]

Yup, MS are the ONLY ones who charge for online, and IMO, it's not as good as the PSN.

[HappyEarlyBirthday]

ROFL @ Use three iron man xD

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, do it all the time, it's mint :D

[HappyEarlyBirthday]

indeed

[CommandoJay]

Took me a week to find my team , Phylocke, Cable and Captain Commando... I HATE IRONMAN! XD He's so cheap lol

[HappyEarlyBirthday]

that why he in my team xD

[DEIVION212]

I love Iron man, because he sucks, until you use his massive cannon :D

[Adv2k169]

i remember i played this game on arcades and I would always get DESTROYED with a 1000 hit combo and I hit them once.

So I have soured on all these 2d street fighter games because I am terrible at them

[STEFANROCKER23]

Hmm I don't know if I should buy this game. It looks pretty cool but I really suck at 2D fighting games if you have to remember combos and stuff..

Great Review Demon :)

[DEIVION212]

Not really, I've forgotten most of my tactics and I'm still winning, lol.

Thanks :)

[NaneMKD]

beautiful game! I was actually goin nuts trying to find a decently priced copy of it for PS2 until I heard it was coming out for PSN! Made me very happy, i'll be buying it off PSN tomorrow :D

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, good thing you didn't buy it. I hate paying a fortune for rare games and then bam, hit for download right after.

Happens to me alot :(

[Drizzydid]

hmm.. i actually wish they had marvel vs capcom for the wii instead of the random tatsunoko (which ive never heard of) vs capcom. You getting tats vs cap deivion?

Also, graphically, do you really think its great comparing it to SFIV and tats vs cap?

[DEIVION212]

Don't think I'll bother because I haven't a clue what that Anime is. Only one I'm interested in is thet Blaz Blue which I don't even think's coming out on U.K shores :(

As for graphics, last time I saw any footage of that Tats thing, it was 2D. So it's impossible to compare 2D to 3D, but IMO I prefer 2D for fighters.

[Drizzydid]

Actually tats is 2.5D whereas this is completely 2D i think from what I saw. I still might get tats vs cap since i need a scrolling fighter on wii and there are no other ones (don't like guilty gear so...). You should check tats out though, you might not know the tats guys but u cud still like them. Also, capcom has viewtiful joe too in it! :D

I really wish you could turn off the tag battles sometimes though, to me i sometimes like having a traditional 1 on 1 match, not always 2 vs 2 pairs.

[DEIVION212]

Yeah same here.

Just bought Viewti 1 and 2, payed a bomb for 2 then found it for less than a NES VC game :(

Well this is 2.5 I suppose because the backdrops are 3D.

[RikimaruTheHulk]

I've played over 300 online matches on Street Fighter 4, and I've *never* experienced even the slightest lag. Tekken DR Online, however, is awfully laggy, but honestly, you're the first person I've ever heard mention lag in SF4. Everyone else that I know with the game agrees that it's one of the most lag-free games around. I can't imagine why your experience was any different.

???

[DEIVION212]

Well I had 10 matches, all were lag filled so gave up and stuck to offline.

And it wasn't mild lag either, the guy like warped (And he was Ken who can't warp, so... XD).

I only ever got one match without lag, I raped the guy so hard that he quit.

So again, even when it isn't lag, if the online is filled with pricks who can't stand to lose, what's the point?

Got rid of it the other week. Just don't care to play it anymore.

[RikimaruTheHulk]

Well of course you're entitled to your opinion, but to say that "the online is filled with pricks who can't stand to lose" is a bit of a hasty judgement to make based on just one single guy leaving after you beat him. You don't even know if perhaps he just had to get off the game at that moment regardless of whether he won or lost.

[RikimaruTheHulk]

I don't want to necessarily sound like I'm defending the game, because like I said, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion of the game itself, and if you just didn't like it then that's okay, but your criticisms of the online aspect seem to be based on very little evidence, even by your own admission.

[DEIVION212]

I did like it, I just don't think it's as good as 2. I also never slagged off the online in my review or anything, I just played it, hated the lag and have up.

I never slag it off to people who want it though.

[toolslave]

I can't pass this one up! Gonna go download it now.

[kaido212]

just got today cool for takeing idea my review :)

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, 360 got it a lil before, but I honestly hate playing on it now. I'm terrified that anything will kill it... Again.

[DEIVION212]

It's an old game though, so you've gotta judge it on that. Thankfully they didn't mess about with it and add or change things :)

Thanks :)

[DEIVION212]

Yeah Gambit's in it, well I have ultra speed on to be fair XD

One thing I forgot to mention, that you can change the speed, but as I show it on the fastest it's not a problem :)

[DEIVION212]

Thanks BTW :)

[airgilbert]

I'd love to play you at this, but I have it on 360 :( also, did you ever have this game on the PS2?

[DEIVION212]

Nah, I had the X-BOX version.

Funny that, I had the X-BOX when you had PS2, now I have the PS3 when you have the 360 XD

[valenceLOL]

one of the best reviewers on youtube

[DEIVION212]

Thanks, I really do appreciate it :)

[MarioVsDK]

One of my favorite fighting games :D

Great review DEMON :D

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[Shadowpower7]

It's out?

And I don't have to pay for Xbox Live?

I just pay for the game?

Bye DEMON, I'd love to give you a good comment but I need to take it for a ride.

[DEIVION212]

Dunno about XBL, as I never touch my 360 anymore, lol.

[subtenko]

its ok brethren, welcome to the light side ;D nice review too

[DEIVION212]

It's one of those, I think gameswise the 360 owns, but the hardware sucks.

I've had 1 PS3 die and 4 360's. And I'm sick of it, because my freakin SNES and N64 STILL WORK!

Looking at this years E3 though, it appears that the PS3 is the ONLY console with anything coming out for it though.

That new racer where you can build a ton of courses LOOKS SWEET!

Thanks BTW :)
