MARVEL VS CAPCOM: INFINITE brings big changes to the series.
At first glance you can boil Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite down to one question: do you want to see erstwhile Dead Rising photojournalist Frank West throw a shopping trolley at Thanos? Frank is a man with a camera, a penchant for slapstick comedy and a fighting style that relies on picking up random bits of tat to assault his foe. Thanos is about two steps away from being an actual god, with a host of powers that would probably take up half of this review if I listed them.
It’s these ‘what if’ match-ups that make up part of MvC’s wider appeal. Its 30-character strong roster runs the gamut from bruisers like Hulk and Mike Haggar to agile speed merchants like Gamora and little men-with lances, like Ghosts ’n Goblins hero, Arthur. It’s a great roster that introduces welcome additions like Captain Marvel and Darkstalkers’ Jedah Dohma.
