I'm a HUGE fan of the Marvel vs. Capcom fighting game series, and was super excited when I first heard that (the orginal version of) the 3rd chapter of the game series was being released, plain old "Vanilla" Marvel vs. Capcom 3, that is. Because I worked for a video game and electronics retailer, I and the rest of the store's associates were able to play a copy of the full game in our break room during our lunch breaks. The night that the original, "Vanilla" MvC3 launched there was excitement abound, especially among gamer associates. It was finally lunchtime on launch night and just about everyone gathered around to play or at least spectate the first play-through of the original MvC3. The game was gorgeous, stages were interesting, and once I got my hands on it, the fighting controls felt more intuitive and smoother than ever before.
After further review I noticed how basic and limited the modes of play actually were. Even worse was the limited selection of characters. Only a little over 30 characters, while the previous game, Marvel vs Capcom 2, boasted nearly 60 characters! Taskmaster and Phoenix were cool new characters, but where was Megaman, Rogue, Colossus, Psyloche, Gambit or Venom? So many fan-favorite characters got cut and weren't respectfully swapped out for better characters. I thought new versions of game series were supposed to EXPAND upon what makes them so GREAT, not SHRINK and condense the game into a LESSER version of it's former self! Remember that sentence for later. I thought to myself, "How quickly will I become bored and utterly disappointed if I buy this game, especially if I spend 60 bucks on it?" Long story short, I played the original MvC3 game several times, but never ended up actually buying or owning it because of the shrunken character roster and measly amount of game modes...
Now let's fast forward to the the review of the current version of the game that I'm really here to talk about,
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3...
All qualms and complaints aside, I want to make clear that UMvC3 is one of THE best fighting games I've probably ever played. The fights are fun, frenzied, and fast paced 3-on-3 tag team action. Even skilled players will, at times, get a run for their money against more unskilled players. This is simply because of how unique each character plays, the randomness/variety of each character's tag team assist moves, and the countless strategies, benefits and weaknesses that arise from selecting certain character combinations in tag teams.
On top of that, and the ultimate reason I bought Ultimate MvC3 and not (Vanilla) MvC3...the add-ons- UMvC3 has several additions. For starters, 12 new out-of-the-box characters (plus 2 all new downloadable characters), Rocket Raccoon, Ghost Rider and Dr. Strange being my favorites of this bunch. Other notable improvements include totally rebalanced fighting gameplay, 8 additional stages and Heroes and Heralds campaign mode.
Here's the slight problem, while all of these add-ons are great, they aren't great enough to be "Ultimate". A few new stages are an alright bonus, but why not create a stage for every character? Heroes and Heralds is a cool campaign mode but you have to have XBL or PSN just to make it available when playing this game- It's not already included on the game disc. Most of the 12 new characters are interesting to say the least, but I can't help feeling they wasted a lot of Capcom rosters on Resident Evil and Devil May Cry characters, and probably was an attempt to help boost sales for current and future DMC and Resident Evil title games.
Where is Megaman? The game eventually designed Zero a downloadable suit that looks identical to Megaman's, but it's still Zero's voice, Zero's quote captions and Zero's moves. Megaman with a sword and no Mega Buster?! Absurd! The rebalanced gameplay was a nice touch, but all in all this game isn't THAT different than it's previous counterpart. I couldn't imagine buying (Vanilla) MvC3 and then having to buy UMvC3 for 60 more bucks, simply because Capcom is greedy and wouldn't offer these add-ons as a free or $15-$20 download package instead of forcing the consumer to purchase an entire new game disc. Thankfully that wasn't what happened to me. I was smart and bought the Ultimate version- thus only having to buy the game once.
Don't get me wrong, the game itself is super fun to play. Alternate costumes are fun to wear. Special moves are over-the-top, colorful and flashy. Also, the button commands for special moves and hyper combos are very easy to discover on your own and extremely intuitive for most characters. Some game character's hyper combos even cause cinematic camera angles and massive projectiles to pretty much fill up the entirety of the screen. Gameplay is super fast-paced and challenging, although the AI can become somewhat predictable and may have certain programmed tendencies that can eventually be mapped out and anticipated ahead of time in some cases.
So with that being said, what do I think Capcom could have done to improve this game and truly make it "Ultimate"?...
Quite frankly, Capcom should have either included more out-of-the-box characters or provided more downloadable characters after this game was released, preferably for free. Most people already spent a whopping 60 bucks on just the plain MvC3 game. How much more money do you want from us? How many characters do I say Ultimate MvC3 should've had? MvC2 had close to 60, so I feel that UMvC3 should have easily boasted 60-70 characters. I would have much rather opted for several extra characters over a few new downloadable costumes for every already existing character. Here are just a few of the characters I feel should have been added to/included in UMvC3...

If you are not familiar with Capcom fighting games, you may be a bit surprised, at first, as to how fast-paced this game is. It is possibly the fastest-paced game I have ever played. Each character has their own signature moves and combos that must be executed perfectly and at just the right time to maximize their effectiveness. Due to the high amount of skill needed to pull off these moves, some players may find it frustrating at first. They will most DEFINITELY find it frustrating if they jump into the fray against a skilled opponent. Seeing an opponent give your character a smack-down with a 50+ hit combo that nearly vanquishes them in one assault will be more than a little intimidating and humbling. This is a game that really takes some invested time to master, and Capcom HAS included the option to play a "Simple" mode, that will allow most players to pull off some devastating moves without fully learning the controls and the nuances of the game. Once players get the hang of the game play and learn the strengths and weaknesses of each character, the game becomes much more fun to play. This is a game where there can be tremendous swings in advantage within mere moments. At one moment it could like like you're getting blown out and the next moment you could be on top. This adds to the fun of the game for me. I don't like games that are too easy or require no skill to play.
This game has three modes of play:
1) Offline Mode: Just as it sounds, this is where you play against the computer (Arcade), play against a friend (Versus), play through an advancing story line (Mission), or learn the moves of your character in practice sessions (Training).
2) Xbox Live: Once you feel as if you have an adequate grasp of the game (or have friends who are not-so-skilled that you feel like schooling, you can use this mode to go online and play against others.
3) Heroes & Heralds Mode: This mode of play was not included in the actual release, but was a part of a free download from the company to expand playing options. In this mode you have 3 decks (A,B,C) each deck contains 3 slots for a card. Each card has a buff that will aid you in your fights by boosting a stat or giving your character the ability to do something it would not normally be able to do. You can choose to be a Herald of Galactus or a Hero of Earth and you collect cards to build up your deck as you win battles. Each side has particular cards exclusive to each side.
In this game you have a variety of villains or heroes from each respective universe that you can choose to play as/against. (In a fight, you choose three characters for you "team" and you will fight against three opponent characters. You don't have to choose all characters from one specific universe, but can mix and match at will.) With the addition of 12 new playable characters compared to the original MVC3, there are a whopping 48 characters to choose from. The complete character roster is listed below, by side:
MARVEL:
New since MVC3: Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange, Rocket Raccoon, Hawkeye, Ironfist & Nova.
Previously released: Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man,Storm, Wolverine, Deadpool, Magneto, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, Dormammu, Super Skrull,M.O.D.O.K., Phoenix, X-23, Hulk, She-Hulk, Taskmaster, Sentinel.
CAPCOM:
New since MVC3: Firebrand, Frank West, Nemesis, Vergil, Phoenix Wright, & Strider Hiryu
Previously released: Ryu, Chun-Li, Dante, Trish, Crimson Viper, Viewtiful Joe, Spencer, Amaterash, Chris, Wesker, Zero, Tron, Morrigan, Felicia, Haggar, Arthur, Akuma, Hsien-Ko.
As you can see, there is an incredible diversity of characters, here. While there are a few characters that are conspicuously absent (such as Megaman from Capcom and Green Goblin or Venom from Marvel), the appearance of several characters that have never been included in a video games before was really nice to see. Each character has several alternate costumes that can also be chosen. Some of them are comic accurate and some aren't, but it's a nice little touch to add a bit more diversity to the game. I would suspect that there will be a fair amount of Marvel comics fans who will purchase this game based solely on their love of these characters. In fact, I'd say it will be a safe bet that the majority of people purchasing this game will be comic fans.
This game is a lot of fun to play, and any fans of fighting games are sure to love it. In my opinion, this is one game that is a MUST BUY title for the Xbox 360.
This game has a Teen rating due to cartoon fighting violence, a few instances of profanity (mostly from the character Deadpool), and some skimpy costumes worn by a few of the female characters (Felicia & Morrigan). I would personally say that a "T" rating is the proper rating for this game.
