The characters all look great and some of them (Venom always springs to mind) have phenomenal animation that will really knock your socks off.
I still think that Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a fantastic looking game. No matter how serious you get about the game one thing that is for sure is that you will be having a great time. This is a game that has some serious depth to it if you want to learn it properly. On the flip side of this, you can also get very, very in-depth with the combat. The controls are actually quite simple so that makes it a game that anyone can pick up and have fun with. What I really like about this game is that it is the kind of game anyone can play. You can call in other characters to help you during a battle, tag in and tag out and you can produce these epic super combos that are just spectacular to look at as well as do. Each battle requires that you defeat all three characters from the opposing team. This is a fighting game where you pick any three characters you want to form a super team.
What really makes Marvel vs Capcom 2 so fondly remembered is the combat. Each character has various colors as well so the roster is the most diverse the series has ever seen. You have various Avengers, X-Men and Spider-Man characters as well as people from franchises such as Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Mega Man, Resident Evil and more.
