However, in Marvel versus Capcom 3 the Street Fighter concept is combined brilliantly with the mutant might of Marvel action heroes along with other fighters from the world of Capcom. Essentially, it doesn't get much batter than unleashing the power of Ryu's dragon punch on a sentinel (except maybe my new found crush on She-Hulk - I think I may have a ladies with green skin fetish; this isn't the first instance - see http://www.tuppencemagazine.co.uk/Tuppence_Magazine/Star_Trek_2009_review.html - I think it all started with Galaxy High when I was a kid).
There are 38 playable characters in total, including Iron Man, Spiderman, Ryu, Storm, Chun-Li, Wolverine, Magneto, Doctor Doom and Albert Wesker, although you'll have to unlock more than a few. There's a mission mode to help you learn all of the moves, which forces you into picking up some of the more complex combos, which works really well. The tag team element of the game, as has been seen in previous Marvel vs. Capcom games, is as blisteringly fast, and the shadow download packs with teams and artificial intelligence modeled on the fighting style of Capcom development staff members is a pretty interesting concept. It's like getting to see a shadow walkthrough of Super Mario Bros on the NES with Shigeru Miyamoto behind the controller. There are going to be more shadow download packs for the game too to give it even more lifespan, along with new costume download packs for those that like to give their brutal fighting games a distinctly Ken and Barbie feel.
The game does have a story line, something about Doctor Doom, Albert Wasker and a hidden evil wreaking havok on the two worlds of Marvel and Capcom, but that's just an aside. Marvel versus Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is all about furious game-play and in that it's got an abundance. When this is combined with the online mode, anything is possible.
Game review: 4.1/5
