Customer Reviews

The sales numbers are in for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and it's pretty much as expected: This game has bombed, and Capcom has no one to blame but themselves. I don't play video games much these days, but for whatever reason I still have a soft spot for Capcom fighting games. However, they are in danger of losing me as a fan if they keep it up with shoddy efforts like this. For every step forward since Marvel vs. Capcom 3, they've taken two steps backward.
Likes:
1. BETTER NET CODE
The online experience is much better this time around, with less slowdown, better player matching, and a Spectator mode. However, it is still inferior to Super Street Fighter 4's online structure.
2. MORE BALANCED GAMEPLAY
Capcom did a pretty good job re-balancing the characters in this game. They've toned down X-Factor, too, which is a big plus. For some bizarre reason, though, Capcom decided to buff Wesker, who is way too powerful now!
Dislikes:
1. LAME NEW CHARACTERS
Capcom decided to let this game be used as essentially a marketing tool for upcoming Marvel movies and comic books, which is why we see stupid characters like Rocket Raccoon and Ghost Rider in this game. For those that don't know, Capcom did a poll at some point in development as to which Marvel characters fans would like to see in the game. The most wanted characters included Gambit, Venom, Psylocke, and Juggernaut, any of which would have been awesome. Instead Marvel VETOED them all and insisted that the game be used as a commercial for upcoming projects. Perhaps you should have insisted on at least one character, Capcom. By the way, this little stunt annoyed me so much that I now refuse to pay for anything by Marvel (this game being an exception, I suppose). I simply borrow their movies from someone else. If Marvel has contempt for their fans, it's only fair that fans have contempt for Marvel's profit margins.
2. MASHABLE HYPER COMBOS
This ridiculous gimmick, in which Hyper combos do more damage the faster you mash buttons, was brought back even though I've never heard of a single person ever liking it.
3. JILL VALENTINE and SHUMA GORATH STILL DLC
Capcom has already infuriated many people by coming out with UMvC3 less than a year after the original. Why not just go the whole way and give everyone all of the characters?
4. RIDICULOUS CHARACTER HEALTH HUD
Every new player to this game has complained that the third character's health is displayed at the top and the second character's health at the bottom. In the original game, it was 1, 2, and 3 as you would expect. This is one of the most counterintuitive and baffling decisions Capcom's ever made. WTF!?
That's about it. This is still a solid fighting game by any measure, but Capcom's in danger of wearing out their fans' patience. I know they're beginning to wear out mine.

I've played quite a few fighting games and this is the very definition of "easy to play, hard to master". There's a simple mode which you can button mash and pull off combos. Normal mode isn't that bad ether as long as you don't button mash, just switch up the button combination and you'll link up moves. Despite the intro friendly gameplay, as I said before, there is more to it then that. Hardcore fans of this game will quickly show you (Online or off if you know anybody). Characters are awesome and the graphics looks great. As long as you didn't own the first MVC3, this is a good buy.
