Infinite's story mode - whilst entertaining and absolutely brimming with fan-service - is pretty poor. Marvel vs Capcom Infinite review: A story as good as a Marvel Cinematic Universe film?

Seeing how the developers have merged Capcom worlds with Marvel worlds is inspired, and picking up on some of the very subtle references to both the MCU and the wider Capcom universe is sure to get fans of either franchise pretty excited. You'll also notice that the backgrounds - whilst no-where near as detailed as the pixel art entries in the MvC series - will change and disrupt when you pull of certain attacks. Their inclusion is a good mix of powerful and technical, which makes the last third of most good matches pretty unpredictable. They let you play around with a lot of different mechanics, and potentially devastate your opponents, but you've got to know what you're doing first: you can't just activate the Stone, start button-mashing and come away victorious. When you charge up the Stone to unleash its Infinity Storm super, you'll be able to increase attack power exponentially: making for a much greater threat, and giving your opponent another thing to worry about in the later stages of the fight.Īs comeback mechanics in fighting games go, Power Stones switch up fights. The Power Stone will let weaker characters (we're looking at you, Arthur) be able to smack opponents away, giving room to setup good combos. On top of that, the Infinity Stones add a new layer to the action. The roster is a solid mix of rushdown characters, grapplers and zone-control characters, and playing around to find out which two fit your fighting style (and how you can use them against other teams) is one of the best bits about Infinite.
