Review by Shinji

"Jin & Michelle; the Blasting Buddies"

The Capcommies said that they weren't gonna do this. And here it is in plain view. MvC for your PSX.

Playability: Okay, despite being sssslllloooowwww and the fact that you can't switch teammates, you do get to choose your ''special helper'' to help kick butt.

Characters: Only 15 are playable. Back in the old days, the first X-over had like one more plus Akuma.

Combo Factor: Blanking Amazing! All the comboes you done in the arcade can be done at home on your $99.00 PSX as well. And remember that practice makes perfect. So use the training section and work hard at it.

Pluses: An art gallery, an ending gallery, a special helper gallery... And the game is faithful to its fans with all the super moves included. (Morrigan's ''Raise her curtain and do... Stuff...'' move as well as Aku-Ryu's ''Instant Funeral Arrangement'' move.)

Minuses: The screen goes pixelated when you do an air-combo, there's still a lot of shotokans uppercutting around, and Zangief is back. |:P

All in all, I believe it's better for most of us to rent rather than buy. With fighters that have 32 to 38 different fighters therein, and with the new Street Fighter E=MC^2 coming up for the PSX, I believe that it's time for Logan and his crew to head back to Xavier's school. Or at least work on their own fighters. ^_^
