Yeah….it’s been a while >< Sorry folks! There are 2 reasons I haven’t posted in forever:
1.) I’ve been pretty busy
2.) I’ve been pretty busy kicking ass on MvC3 hahaha
I got it the day it came out. Here’s a quick lil mini review!
Gameplay: At first I wasn’t really all that impressed with the controls because I was so used to the old style. You know – separate buttons for low, med and high punch/kick. The “special” button took about 20 mins of getting used to but I did get used to it. After that, combos really do seem to play out very smoothly and with the revamped style, they hurt a whole lot more than they used to ><
Graphics: The visuals are amazing! Everything is so clean and detailed….A definite improvement on the rougher look of Tatsunoko vs Capcom and a bit more refined than Super Street Fighter IV. All of the characters’ physical and special attacks explode in bright flashes that melt perfectly into the flow of play.
Sound: The soundtrack is pretty enjoyable. I didn’t really focus too much on it since all I would really hear was a barrage of Hadoukens and Soul Fists but it the music does help to give feelings of anticipation excitement. Especially during the final arcade mode battles. The character voices are pretty decent, too. A lot of the original voices have been changed (in English and Japanese). Some good, some…not so good. Overall still great, though. Of course, there’s the classic “♪I wanna take you for a riiide~!♫” theme. No matter how many times it plays, you never get tired of it hahaha
Character Roster: This is where it gets a little sketchy for me. I have my favorites (everyone does) but I’m sad to say a couple people didn’t make it on there. That not being a huge deterrent, it did make me a little sad seeing who they chose to add in their place. I mean…M.O.D.O.K? <_< Some of the other new additions exceeded my expectations, though. Phoenix, for instance, surprised me. Her level 5 Hyper Combo is pretty cool, too and automatic!
Overall: The game is kick ass. Period. Although I had my moments of doubt about this highly anticipated release, they waned as I played through. Out of 10 I give it a solid 9 and two sore thumbs up!
Side note: In 2D or 3D, Morrigan is smexy. That is all =]
