Not even a year has passed since the superlative game Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds came out that the company Capcom came out with a new version of the game called the Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3.

The reasons for this new release are many. One, although the predecessor was fun to play with for both novice and expert players, there were many issues related to it. These included the unstable characters such as the Dark Phoenix who was very powerful, the combo glitch that let you run a series of moves that did a lot of damage and the online module that was unresponsive.

And although the aforementioned issues could have been resolved by running a patch, Capcom decided to come out with a newer version of the game that includes some new extra characters and a few more game modes as well. The plus point is that it is launched at a cheaper price compared to its predecessor minus all the hindering bugs.

There are twelve new characters in the new version. Half from the Marvel’s roster and the rest from Capcom’s. The quirkiest entry from all the characters in the game is the lawyer Phoenix Wright from Capcom’s comical Ace Attorney series. This character just seems to bumble across the screen but if in the right hands he becomes a devastating addition to the gallery of heroes, monsters, villains and aliens. From the Marvel’s line-up we have Dr Strange, Ghost Rider and Iron Fist. These characters may not be household names but they definitely do add variety to the roster.

Each and every fighter in the game is one of its kinds and you could find yourself spending a lot of time just mastering the moves of a single character.

From all the new game modes, the biggest attraction is the Heroes and Heralds mode. In this mode you can create your ultimate three character team and gain ability cards that give your team special powers such as invisibility and speed boosts.

This game can be played by a single player offline or you can go online to gain the multiplayer experience. This game is apt for fans who love action packed games. The game might be a tad too boring for a casual player. The game much like its predecessor is highly suitable for novices and expert fighting veterans.

The responsive controls and configurations make it a lot of fun to play with. The imagery of the game is done in a super wide color palette. The game is quite similar to the older version but all the new additions make it very entertaining and fun.

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is definitely for the entire fighting game fan crowd. If you haven’t played the earlier versions of the game then you should definitely take a look at the Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3. You can skip this release if you’ve played the earlier version of Marvel Vs Capcom 3.
