But while the biggest pull is undoubtedly the superb visual overload, it would soon wear thin if there was a bad game underneath it. So, I'll apologise for spending an entire page gushing over how incredible it looks, and get into the meat of the most OTT combat system the gaming world has ever seen.

From watching Amaterasu perform her Supers, to witnessing the rise of the Dark Phoenix, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is one of the most enjoyable console experiences I’ve had in quite some time. Combine the depth of gameplay that will be examined for years, the gorgeous attention to character animation, and the inclusion of Simple Mode, and you have a game that’s easy to recommend for anyone with a PlayStation 3.

It's a gorgeous fighter with vast depth, but it slightly lacks the tightness and coherence that made Street Fighter 4 such an instant classic. For all its apparent accessibility, newcomers may find this a harder game to get into once they've passed the sugar rush of the initial fireworks. Stick with it, however, and you'll discover your reward - a hyperactive but deeply rewarding fighter, one that should delight Marvel and Capcom fans alike.

The key thing you need to know about Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is that just because you're a fighting game fan doesn't mean you're going to fit right in and have a good time. Capcom's Marvel-licensed fighting games have consistently been a different breed of crazy, over-the-top fighting that's just going to rub some people the wrong way no matter what. Even this attempt to simplify the action and make it more accessible isn't going to be enough for everyone.

In successfully reviving the series' trademark brand of fast-paced action and insane shenanigans, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 stands as a worthy partner-in-crime to the current vanguard of fighting game staples. It doesn't strive for balance in the way that Super Street Fighter IV does, but in overclocking its high stakes gameplay to the fullest, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 relishes in crazy moments and is all the better for it. In the end, it tries its damnedest to be a game that everyone could enjoy. You'd have to be saltier than the Dead Sea to not plug in, have fun, and enjoy the ride.
