Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems
Capcom is known for two things. Making really great 2D games. And repackaging them over and over. MSH is simply a modified version of X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse. Instead of the X-Men you get a group of Marvel characters including Wolverine, Captain America, the Hulk, Iron Man, and Spider-Man. Again, each character has their own own special abilities and characteristics. Which must be learned and mastered if you plan to make your way to the end. The stages offer a good variety of themes from underwater combat to mountain climbing. And are well designed, but visually aren't as impressive as those found in Mutant Apocalypse. However there are multiple pathways in each stage that only certain characters can access. Fans of the Marvel universe will be pleased with this title.
