Product ReviewsUltimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Sony PlayStation 3, 2011)

Fun Times

I always buy my games pre-owned because I'm not rich. I've wanted to play this game for a long time, even though time is basically the scarcest commodity now :) Fun way to relax for an hour with my 10-year old daughter, while we mash a few buttons on my PS3 and watch the characters fight in a frenetic manner. I am so glad none of us suffers from epileptic seizures!Read full review...

The whole entire Marvel vs Capcom game series is excellent!

I've been playing Marvel vs Capcom since the very 1st x-men vs street fighter game. This series contains the best fighting games ever in my opinion

All in all a great game and a must for the die-hard fan!

Seeing as I'm a big fan of the Marvel vs. Capcom series, it was a very obvious choice to get my hands on the ultimate edition for the third chapter!

The impression I got from this game is just as I imagined it. Fast paced, jaw dropping super moves, and lets not forget the fun factor. There are about 50 characters this time, 8 new stages, additional costumes for the characters and a rebalanced gameplay system. There are a lot of modes to choose from as well as there are things to unlock, endings, artwork, titles, cards, etc.

While I really enjoyed the arcade mode and Heroes and Herald mode, the online was pretty much of no use. The reason I say this is because the online mode was dead, no one was playing and I assume the reason why is because it must have been laggy or just plain bad to play online. Even if I'm a little late buying this product there shouldn't be a reason for everyone to stop playing online seeing as Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition still goes strong. And I have that game too! Online is such an important thing in games these days! And another negative aspect are the stages. While we now have 8 new stages most of them seem very familiar to the original stages that we already have, which takes out the freshness of the game. And should I even bother explaining the DLC fiasco Capcom has been pulling lately?

All in all, this game is a must for fans of Marvel, Capcom or why not both? Don't look past the good stuff in a game just because there are a FEW negative aspects about it. It's like they always say, never judge a book by it's cover. Though in this case the cover is pretty rad!!!Read full review...

Ultimate MVC3 is probably the best fighting game for the PS3 right now!

I waited for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 for years. Then finally it was released but it only had a pitiful 36 characters! Considering Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for the PS2 had over 50 characters mere 36 characters didn't sit well with me so I waited to see if they'd release another version with more characters. And that is exactly what Capcom did with Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. This latest installment has 48 playable fighters! All famous super heroes and classic CAPCOM characters in crisp HD graphics. The visuals in this fighter are amazing. The game flows smoothly with no slowdowns, this is important in any fighter.

PROS: Great graphics with iconic characters, smooth gameplay. Each character has his/her own theme song and stage. The end result is a very fun fighting game with plenty of content. The online mode is present.

CONS: Game takes about 2.3 gigs out of your HDD during its install. The final battle against Galactus feels unfair and can cause some frustration.

Bottom Line: Capcom appears to be milking the fans of this game by slowly selling the content in chunks. In this installment you get PLENTY of content though. I bought my copy and I'm fully enjoying it :)Read full review...

Better than expected, but imperfect

Case and manual were both high quality. Disc itself had been dislodged on inside, required cleaning.
Also, a VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: PS3 DLC for this title, (Costumes, characters Jill Valentine and Shuma-Gorath) is not available! If that is a dealbreaker, then it's best you stick to later-generation versions, like PS4 and XBox.Read full review...

Great Game

As a fan of the Marvel vs Capcom series, UMvC3 doesnt fail to entertain. Nothing like it's predecessor Marvel vs Capcom 2 but still a great game to play with friends.

Awesome product! Great and fun game.

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.Read full review...

I highly recommend it giving it a 5/5, a must have for any console owner.

This is one of the best rounded and fun fighting games on the market today. It has the ability to be extremely difficult or simplistically easy. It allows for players of different skill set to face off against one another on an even ground which makes bouts more exciting. It is extremely cinematic with specials being performed and tailored to each individual character. With an enormous roster of your favorite characters and multiple modes to play you will not be sorry with this game.Read full review...
