Critic Reviews for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (HD Edition)
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...

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.
Matchmaking issues aside, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a must-play for fighting game enthusiasts and Marvel fans.
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 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.
