THE BATTALION
Tuesday, February 29,2(11
Marvel vs. Capcom
System: Playstation
Genre: Fighting
Developer: Capcom
If anyone lias played a Capcom fight
ing game in the past decade, then they
have played Marvel vs. Capcom. The
roots for this game were planted long ago
with games like Street l ighter II and not
much has changed since then.
After what seems like the 37th spin
off of the Street Fighter game, Street
Fighter II EX Alpha Beta 2000: Turbo
Edition, avid players knew to not turn to
Capcom for originality. I lowever, the
reason people still play any new 2-1)
Capcom lighter is not for a new game en
gine, but to see what characters and ani
mation have been added.
Marvel vs. Capcom takes characters
from classic video games, such as
Mega Man, and integrates them with
players from the Marvel Comics Uni
verse, while throwing in a few Street
Fighter II characters for good measure.
The format lets the player pick a
team of two characters. However, only
one of them is the primary fighter. The
player's second choice of characters is
only there to help out with combo
moves, unlike the arcade version that al
lows you to switch characters during
game play. This is probably one of the
game’s biggest drawbacks, especially to
players who have seen how cool this is
in the arcade version.
Another drawback is the lack of char
acters to choose from as primary fighters.
Most of the new characters unique to this
game are only available as secondary
teammates.
The best aspect of this game probably
only appeals to X-Men fans who will get
a kick out of playing as the all-powerful
Onslaught after beating the game. Mar
vel vs. Capcom is fun. but only if players
understand in advance that the characters
are new; the game is the same as its al
ways been. (Grade: B-)
Lego Racers
System: Playstation
Genre: Racing
Developer: High Voltage
Software

In a day when most battle racing video
games are struggling to imitate MarioKait
Lego Racers differentiates itself from the
lot b> being incredibly boring.
The game is a typical racing gamewi
typical power-ups and typical weapons.
The player controls a little Lego manwl
controls a little Lego ear.
With such a great concept, itishaii
to imagine how the developers could
mess this game up. But they succeeds
surprisingly well. The gameplay in Leg
Racers is awful. The player has little coil'
trol over his ear and oftentimes ends up
running headlong into a wall. The lackt
a four-play er mode leaves the players
w ith only a two-player mode, which is
not fun since that allows only two cars on
a big track. If one player gets ahead oftk
other, chances are the players will not s«
each other again until the finish line.
Most of the w eapons and power-ups are
ineffective at a long range w hich makes las
second comebacks impossible. The tracks
themselves are some what amusing and
might actually be fun if not for the horrid
gameplay. bach track has a different theme
that relates to a different Lego set.
There is only one redeeming quality of
the game: Just as w ith real Legos, one can
create the driver mid the car from random
Lego pieces to make the coolest (or the ugli
est) racing machine. Unfortunately, it is si
more fun to play w ith real Legos rather
than scroll through a menu of Lego
pieces. Video game technology will neva
be able to replace the Lego experience
While this game is ere-
ative, it is, unfortunately,
not fun. Go buy a
real Lego set and
avoid this game
(Grade: D).
