Let's get one thing straight. I love Marvel Comics. In fact this game went a long way in defining the Marvel characters for me in the 90's. When I'd go to an arcade, I always spent time and a lot of money playing this game. It was because of this game that I started reading the Marvel comic books. The game was released for the arcade in 1997, Sega Saturn in 1998 and Sony PlayStation in 1999. This game appears to be ported from the arcade version as it tells you to insert coins.
As far as the game itself goes it is a perfect 10. What's not to love? It features some of my favorite characters and represents them pretty accurately too. The graphics and sound are typical of 90's arcade (and part of what makes this game so appealing). The levels are amazing looking. The addictiveness is off the map. You won't be able to play this just once. I promise you this, especially if you love Marvel or Street Fighter. There is very little story here, though I suspect we are supposed to believe that the Marvel guys got into it with the Capcom guys and that is the reason why we have these great battles. You can play as Blackheart, Captain America, Cyclops (I play best with him), Hulk, Omega Red, Shuma Gorath, Spiderman (my favorite character), Wolverine, Akuma, Chun-Li, Dan, Dhalsim (my favorite character to play on the Street Fighter side), Ken, Ryu, M. Bison and Sakura. Akuma and Apocalypse serves as the final boss. It's a shame Blanka and Guile are not seen in the game. There are also secret characters in the game as well, including U.S. Agent and Armored Spider-Man. The gameplay is great. The controls are great as well (on the keyboard the controls are: Left Control, Alt, Spacebar and Left Shift with arrows moving the character). As far as depth goes, this game is considered middle of the road. There are 8 levels to beat and as mentioned before, Apocalypse and Akuma being the final bosses. Where difficulty is concerned, this game can be difficult when playing the ROM version as controls are limited to a computer. I actually just recently found this out from a friend: Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter is the 4th Marvel Comics-licensed fighting game produced by Capcom. It is a sequel to X-Men vs. Street Fighter which replaces most of the X-Men characters with characters from Marvel Super Heroes. The game uses the same tag-team format previously employed in X-Men vs. Street Fighter. In this port, you can use the new TURBO feature which makes special moves easier to do with each character. In addition to all the NEW features introduced, the player can now summon their partner to perform one of their special moves without changing their currently-controlled character. Very cool game that brings back a lot of nostalgia. If you are a fan of Marvel Comics, Street Fighter or Capcom characters in general, you should definitely play this now!
