Sega Dreamcast: Marvel Vs. Capcom

This 2D fighter for the Sega Dreamcast pits an odd assortment of Capcom favorites and Marvel superheroes.
On the Marvel side you have Spiderman, Captain America, Venom, War Machine, Hulk, Wolverine, and Gambit.
On the Capcom side, the motley crew includes Ryu, Zangief, Chun Li (Street Fighter 2), Captain Commando, Strider, Morrigan (Darkstalkers), and Mega Man.
Each player chooses two fighters in this tag team game, not including the additional “guest stars” you can call upon, and this game has every guest star except Charro!
The laws of gravity have been alleviated for this game, as a good deal of the fighting takes place high in the air. There seem to be a lot of cool moves, but the game is conducive to button mashing.
The graphics are great, but the action is so fast that it’s often hard to tell what’s happening. It’s still a good time though. Crazy fun.
In addition to the standard modes, there’s even a “Cross Fever” mode that lets four players fight simultaneously.
Overall I think that Marvel Vs. Capcom for the Dreamcast is a pretty good game but if push comes to shove, I prefer Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 hands down.
I really need to purchase a Sega Dreamcast, if only to play the Marvel Vs. Capcom series. Awesome!
@Sean: Agreed, I like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 better too.
