Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes
Description official descriptions
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the sequel to the 2D fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
The game allows you to tag in all three players (instead of two, while the third is only used for special attacks, in the predecessor).
There are now up to 56 characters to use (most you have to unlock), including new characters like Jill Valentine from Resident Evil and Tron Bonn from Mega Man Legends.
Another new gameplay feature allows your teammates to come in during battle and give you a little health boost. This helps in lasting the distance in Survival mode, but they can also be hit by oncoming attacks from the enemy.

Capcom delivers another good 2D fighter
The Good
What I liked about this game is the number and variety of fighters. There is a character in here for everyone. I like the super combos that can be easily executed by pushing just two buttons and being able bring your whole team out to do a super combo. I like the three team tag battle because of the strategy that involves and having to adjust to your opponents three characters styles of fighting.
The Bad
I would like to have seen more fighting mode options like a one on one battle. The game is limited to a team of three tag battle.
The Bottom Line
You select a team of three fighters. Each fighter has three attributes that can be selected for when you call them out to assist you in a fight. There are characters from the Marvel comic universe such as Spiderman, The Hulk and X-Men such as Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm and more. Characters from the Capcom universe include fighters from the Street Fighter Series such as Ryu, Guile, Chun Li and other Capcom games like Megaman, Jill Valentine from Resident Evil and more. You can combine fighters from Marvel and Capcom on one team.
