Overall: 8.5
This sums up the gripes:
"Where's Spectator Mode? Alternate victory conditions? Time Attack Mode? The ability to change costume colors, freeing you from the four that are preset? Crazy, unexpected bonus games? Extra stages? Behind-the-scenes footage? Survival Mode?"
That, and the loss of about 20 chars, which should've been expected for this gen.
Compared to SSFIV, they were a bit hard on it seeing as SSFIV doesn't have some of those features. It actually LOST features that were in SFIV: the Survival and Time Attack modes.
I'm wondering: how'd IGN fail to mention the fact that you can't do vs. mode against cpu?
I'm also a little pissed that Capcom made Jill and Shuma DLC when they're already ready for the game. Riduculous shit.
I love SSFIV and hopefully I'll be able to get into MvC3 but for serious, f*** you Capcom......I say this because I know damn well that they could do better but seem to have developed a fetish for DLC costumes, rather than adding actual new gamemodes/chars and doing proper balance updates. Little shit like removing those two game modes from SSFIV are part of what get to me. The lack of spectator mode could end up hurting the more competitive players in the long run.
Anyways, day 1 buy (tomorrow!). That doesn't make me hate Capcom any less though....
