Guía para padres sobre Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

This fighting game, which was always a fan favorite, has been expanded to become richer and deeper than ever before. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (which is a re-release of a six year old title now coming to current generation systems) packs 50 heroes and villains from both Marvel and Capcom titles in massive tag team battles. Story really is a secondary concern to the action in the game; in fact, you'll only discover some threads of a story if you defeat Galactus, the final boss, to save Earth at the end of the arcade mode (and even then, the story is only revealed for the character that lands the knockout blow). In many ways, this feels like a bit of a misstep for the re-release, because it would've been great to have a larger, more engrossing tale for the winning squad.

But for fighting fans, there's loads of depth here. The controls are still as accessible and sharp as ever. In fact, it's so finely balanced, that even a novice jumping in against an experienced player has a decent chance at being successfu, which can't be said about most fighing games. Each character has three separate fighting styles, so players can determine if they're a ranged, aerial, or close quarters specialist in a fight. What's more, mastering the various combos, counters, special moves, and attacks will take loads of time, and that only if you play single player. When you're eager for a larger challenge, you can take on another player in versus mode, or leap online and really put your skills to the test (and there are plenty of good players waiting for a challenge). Plus, the Heroes and Heralds mode really expands the replayability of the game, letting players tailor their experience and challenge with round altering twists, like constantly regenerating energy levels or enhanced power in mid-air. Finally, the comic book presentation, which was always one of the strengths of this franchise, really draws you in, making you feel as though you're witnessing an epic battle that's spilling out of the pages of a graphic novel. For fighting fans, comic fans, or gamers, there's plenty to love in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
