Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Reviews
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings back arcade classics like Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Power Stone 2 with solid emulation and smooth online play. It's a nostalgic, no-frills return to the golden era of Capcom fighters, done right.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings with it a solid mix of both 2D fighters while also, for the first time in recent memory, reintroducing players to a collection of 3D fighters from Capcom's storied past.
No matter how you experience Capcom Fighting Collection 2 — online or offline, in single-player bouts against CPU opponents, or in versus mode against human rivals — you're likely to have a good time.
All in all, unlike some of the other arcade collections Capcom's released, I like every game in this collection. To the general audience it's already worth a lot of money for the Capcom vs SNK or Power Stone games alone, but you get 8 excellent titles (7 depending on who you ask) for 10 bucks less than the Marvel vs Capcom collection, but boasting the same features and with an equal quality in games. I'd say that's a good deal. Capcom seems to have figured out a gold standard for their arcade collections when it comes to creating good and expansive ports, and I can only hope that future collections continue to receive the same love & care. There are still many classic arcade era titles that could use a proper home on modern systems, and there are some older collections that could use a revisit, but Capcom has delivered once again.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is yet again another quality selection of fighting games, even if it will probably be less impactful for new players.

Although the Marvel vs Capcom collection just about edges this one for the quality of games on offer, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a close second place, with the two Power Stone games and CVS2 in particular being excellent fighting games still worth checking out.
Capcom's new compilation is a great collection that will please many fighting game fans, although it would deserve more significant graphical improvements.

All eight games offer a ton of fighting variety and represent some of the best the genre has to offer; bunches of unlockables, including music and artwork; rollback netcode offers smooth online fighting; excellent visual design work
The most amazing feature of Capcom's second collection of fighting games is the diverse experience it offers from the company's classic catalog of fighting titles, which now recovers the attractive 3D works that were sometimes stuck on the Sega Dreamcast and places them alongside iconic 2D games. Of course, there are relatively mediocre titles like Plasma Sword, which make this package not necessarily a complete quality unity, but on the other hand, the presence of Power Stone 2, Project Justice, and CVS2 alone can be reason enough to experience this collection. Overall, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is not only a balanced collection in terms of content, but also a step forward for the general format of the company's collections.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a must-have for fighting game fans and for new players curious to experience these retro games for the first time. Its biggest flaw is that it feels too similar to previous collections and does little to elevate this kind of release to the next level. And although the lack of extra modes, cross-play, and other features prevents it from being the definitive collection, its historical importance and value are undeniable. A trip to the past well worth taking.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 bundles up another eight classic games from the developer's back catalogue, and while some have aged worse than others, there's still plenty of fun to be had overall. Highlights here include Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 and Power Stone 2, but it's just a shame there's still no crossplay.
More broadly, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is another mix of great hits, fun curiosities, and a few games that feel more like filling out a roster than anything. That said, Capcom vs. SNK and Power Stone are more than worth the price of entry alone, and fighting game fanatics will at least enjoy experiencing some oddities that they wouldn't have otherwise.
A comprehensive collection of Capcom's lesser known gems with enough improvements and quality-of-life elements to make this by default the best way to play these games.

From all-time classics to underrated gems, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is robust enough to not only please avid Capcom fans but also newer players who want to experience some of the company's older games.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is an easy recommendation for any fighting game fan. Even though Capcom Fighting Evolution isn't that great, the rest of the lineup ranges from solid to stone cold classics. The online performance is quite good, and each individual game is deep enough that they'll keep anyone busy for a long time. Unless you only like a specific type of fighting game or dislike Capcom's output, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a must-have title.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 improves upon perfection, making the finest fighting games ever made even better. Newcomers and veterans alike, get ready for the most exciting battles in history with Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is an important collection due to its historical value. But, overall, the highlights are Capcom vs SNK 2 and perhaps the two Power Stone games. The rest of the games aren't attractive enough to make the collection a must-have.
