"As I've done many times before, I'll find the the Marvel Vs. Capcom machine in the noisy arcade of the mall. Filled and now overflowing with ticket machines that get you simple prizes, it is a rare jewel. I insert my quarters and play my game, and as I'm destroying my opponents, I reminisce to the first time I heard Mega Man's theme, now played as the character you are fighting enters the fight. With classic, nostalgia raising tunes, this soundtrack provides the older generation with reminiscings of days gone by, as Ryu's theme, that of the original Street Fighter 2 game, comes about. You can literally feel yourself tremble with fighting power.An interesting innovation, was how they made the Marvel themes come into play. Wolverine, Spider-man, you name it, there is a corresponding character theme, each with its own perks and hints of your fighter persona's personality and motivation.To one who likes the character themes you'd hear in days gone by from the old Street Fighter 2 game to the new rousing beats of Capcom characters, this is a soundtrack you can't skip over. Get it now while it's availible, because, like many great masterpieces of Game music, it could fade away, and then you're just outta luck."
