Is this game, Marvel vs Capcom 2 really hard to find? I mean I can't seem to find it anywhere, gamestop, ebgames, etc.

Yeah. I assume you mean the PS2 port

Ebay might be your best choice, unless you get lucky and find it in a used store. some of the smaller independent ones sometimes have a few treasures.

Got mine for the Xbox on ebay. Cost me about $42 before shipping. That is one of the rarest games released on the Xbox.

I still look for Silent Bomber and IQ for the PSX whenever I go to new little game shops. Games are so freaking rare.

Yes it's rare, no it's not worth buying if you're a serious Marvel Player.

The game has a bunch of odd programing glitches which really alter the game for those who are apt at it.

For example, Magneto's standing jab goes over a standing or dashing Strider. Also, numerous combos that should work, don't.

I'm not a Marvel-head, so I don't know all of it. Serious Marvel Players shun that version like the plague though.

Dreamcast version is your best bet...kind of. :grin:

I'm no expert, but last time I was at EB, Mvs.C 2 was $80 for PS2, used.

I'm glad got the DC version many years ago. Awsome game, even if it's more of a flashy rather than technical fighter.

Might I also add that I maxed out the time and exp. bar in the game, and unlocked EVERYTHING. Not a hard task, but a time consuming one.

I sold my ps2 version in 06 for about 100 on ebay

I got a used copy of PS2 MVC 2 at a pawn shop back in Dec for 10 bucks :mrgreen:

Seen the Playstation version at a gamestop once. Did'nt want to pay the 79.00 for it though. Only time i've ever seen it! :-(

The PS2 MvC2 was a blue disc and riddled with errors because of it. The corrupted autosave is almost a deal breaker. If you could locate one it likely has scratches to.

I won mine in a bet involving Dan, a perfect, and a competent Akuma player. ;;)

I don't think I could pull it off now though, and the PS2 version has a lot of problems anyway.

But between licensing and SF4 (Sagat is back!) I don't see them revisiting the addictive format of that vs series.

If my PS2 ever dies I might part with mine, but my systems are pretty long living (functioning NES from 85-05.. R.I.P.)

yeah I hear thats a very rare game. I rented it when I had my Sega Dreamcast. I loved it. I ended up unlocking ever character and playing though the whole game before I returned it! Its one of the most unique fighters out there. I love the perfectly cell shaded graphics too, looks straight out of a comic book! It honestly thought it might have been the best game on Dreamcast, and I'd definitly like to pick up a port if I could fine one. I have a Wii, Xbox, and PS2 so I could pick up a port for either one if I could fine one.

Yeah it is rare, it's production run was pretty short on the PS2.

Man, I love that game - it great for when friends come over cause everyone has their 1337 team.

It's a shame Capcom lost the Marvel license...

I had Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Silent Bomber for the PS1 and 2. I sold both a little while ago. I saw MvC 2 in Gamestop for $74.99 it was either that or Super smash Bros Brawl. No contest really.

It's rare but I don't know if the PS2 version is worth the money though cause I had problems with mine as well. I heard the DC version is nice though.
