I may be a jaded reviewer... I used to love fighting games. I just don't see the point anymore. Maybe because I remember arcades to vividly. Console fighters aren't the same, even with online.
Anyway, its not an awful game. I'm sure fighting fans will love it. For me, it's to simplified. Three attack buttons and a dedicated launch attack button? Where's the skill and strategy there?
This doesn't feel like a MvC2 followup, it feels like a SF4 expansion game. MvC never felt like SF, so why the change?
Graphics are beautiful, character animations are nice. Gameplay options are limited, and endings suck. SF4 got full animated endings. Its is an upgrade from mvc2 endings, but still feels rushed.
Anyway, I was disappointed. However, playing as Taskmaster and Deadpool was fun while it lasted.
