One of the most complete fighting games ever made, but we can't forget is the exact same game we saw 6 years ago. It's a solid, spectacular product, tough.

In short, if you are new to Marvel vs. Capcom then pick this up to get ready for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, whereas more experienced players should probably give this one a miss.

One of the funniest fighting games that we remember although it's an old one...

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 shows its age visually, but is still as fun to play now as it was in 2011.

In one major way, UMvC3 beats out the current fighting game king Street Fighter V: accessibility to newcomers. Solo players can play successive matches in Arcade Mode, or tackle the slightly more complex Heroes vs Heralds mode, using ability-enhancing cards for some added variety.

Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is an excellent fighting game with an amazing pool of characters and finely-tuned gameplay. Its original release in 2011 is a critical and commercial darling still enjoyed by fans and pros around the world, but there isn’t enough new content or technical upgrades in this edition to justify a purchase for anyone that isn’t already a devoted fan.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is exactly what you would expect, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I am just glad to see it back in circulation, I do wish exclusivity would die though, making PC and XB1 players wait four months to play this remaster is flat out ridiculous. That said, get hype and welcome back the curly mustache. Marvel is back baby, and it feels so good.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 remains a superb fighter, and one that is at the peak of its power in terms of performance. Beyond that there’s nothing much for the pre-existing audience, but anyone curious about the series heading into next year’s Marvel vs Capcom Infinite may well be tempted to start here.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a great port of a great game and it's great that it will have one more breath of life on current consoles before Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite comes out.

I was a little disappointed that you didn’t see any of the actual heralds from the comics, but just herald versions of characters already in the game.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 rumbles onto PC years after its original, last-generation console release. Despite irritating infinite combos and a barren online lobby, it was worth the wait, thanks to fun fighting, included console DLC, and a wallet-friendly price.

Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 finally arrives at the Microsoft console with the full set of 50 characters, brand new graphics and 60 fps support. It is the perfect title if you want multiple game modes both offline and online and a great amount of fanservice.

Ultimate Marvel vs.Capcom 3 is just a mere port of the game that we already played in PS3 and Xbox 360. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. Unless you were expecting a drastic revamp from the original title (which would be something silly), you will get the same frantic and agile gameplay that many are still enjoying nowadays.

This HD re-release of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the same game that fans know and love, complete with high-paced action, team mechanics and over-the-top hyper combos that’ll take you for a ride. As a port, however, this rendition does the bare minimum and does not add any new key features while also suffering from some netcode issues. It’s still a great game for hardcore fans or newcomers looking to get into its kinetic action. At the same time, it’s also a bit of a missed opportunity.

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is a funny and spectacular fighting game: a huge mix of explosions, superheroes and terrifying villains, more sparkling than ever in this PS4 version.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 nailed it in 2011 with great gameplay and all of it still stays relevant and fun five years removed. I wish more fighting games took heavy notes from this title and started to craft their own experience after it because this is how you make a fighting game.

To be 100% honest with you, if you’ve played Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, then you’re going to be familiar with the PlayStation 4 version. The gameplay hasn’t changed one bit, so you’re going to be right at home here. All your favorite characters, your best combo strings and yes, and even dreaded infinite combos are still intact. That said, if you’re new to the game or even the series, I’d highly recommend you brush up in both the training and arcade modes.

There has never been a fighting game like this one before, and judging by Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, there probably never will.
