Ever wanted to pit Marvel's best against Capcom's best? Now is your chance to do so.

The Marvel vs. Capcom series is widely lauded as one of, if not the best fighting game series around, and it's not hard to see why. Offering familiar characters from some of the most famous Marvel comics as well as the most intense and over the top fighting action in the gaming world today, it has defined itself as a niche product in what many already consider a niche genre. So when Capcom decided that it was time for the third iteration, we were interested, especially after the smash hit Street Fighter IV. And it looks like it has been worth the decade or so wait since the last game with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 offering intense fighting action, whilst offering some new options for novice gamers.

It may seem puzzling that the Marvel and Capcom characters have decided to kick the living daylights out of each other, but in reality it's just a contest of strength; that is until the earth comes under attack from an unknown force and they must bind together to take it down. As you might expect, the story really isn't anything to write home about, but really it never had to be with emphasis being put where it matters; in the controls and gameplay.
