Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Mega Man: Capcom is a master of the fighting game, action and survival horror. RomWize re-ranks the publisher's best games by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Resident Evil 4 reinvents survival horror on PS2. Over-the-shoulder camera, surgical action and the unforgettable rural village. A peak of video games that reshaped a decade of TPS."
"Mikami's Resident Evil revolution, originally a GameCube exclusive. Over-the-shoulder camera, measured and tense action, an unforgettable Spanish rural village. Almost every set piece has become iconic. A high point of 2000s action gaming."
"Capcom's peak of 2D versus, sublime in precision and depth. Parry, fluidity, cult cast and sublime animation: everything is at the top. An eternal masterpiece of the genre."
"Super Street Fighter IV expands the roster with ten new emblematic fighters and a revised Ultra system. Side modes are more generous, the multi is polished, and this entry marks the recommended version for fully enjoying the Street Fighter IV formula on 360."
"Viewtiful Joe, a Capcom gem by Hideki Kamiya. Snappy 2D action, cel-shaded tokusatsu look and VFX powers that slow or speed up the action. Crazy characters and deliciously hard levels. A genuine wonder, set apart in the catalogue."
"The Pro version sharpens the dream match: extra characters, retuned balance and a slicker presentation. Same magic, refined further, with every set inviting more study. Excellent versus."
"The ultimate crossover sequel, even crazier and more generous. A gargantuan roster, three character tags and explosive aerial combat: an absolute peak of 2D versus, still played today."
"Capcom's legendary remake of the first Resident Evil. Sublime visual overhaul, the Spencer mansion more oppressive than ever, fresh Lisa Trevor passages. Absolute survival horror with exemplary cinematic staging. Arguably the series peak."
"The most complete Street Fighter Alpha 3 edition, with forty-four fighters including exclusive Eagle and Maki. Capcom polishes the European port, three play-style modes and ad hoc versus; a portable fighter of rare depth."
"Kamiya's masterpiece that invented stylish action. Dante, charismatic demon hunter, chains devastating combos in gothic levels. The combat system's depth, style and iconic soundtrack make it an unshakeable PS2 pillar."
"A Vampire Chronicle Matching Service compilation gathering Darkstalkers online. Precise controls, cult cast and irresistible connected multi. Essential for fans."
"The absolute masterpiece of the series. Eight memorable Robot Masters, Takashi Tateishi's legendary soundtrack, perfectly balanced difficulty. One of the greatest video games ever created, on any platform."
"Aratanaru Kibou is the Japanese name of Viewtiful Joe A New Hope. Same 2D masterpiece, same Capcom intensity and same offbeat cinephile charm. Essential."
"Okami is pure art. Amaterasu's brush makes a sumi-e world bloom with every stroke, and the journey lingers long after the credits. One of the most beautiful games ever made, full stop."
"A wildly original Capcom 3D versus where arenas turn into interactive playgrounds. Pickups to grab, spectacular projectiles and total fun. An unforgettable cathartic classic."
"The original Capcom vs SNK dream match, already wildly seductive. The roster makes mouths water, hits feel punchy and spending tickets evokes building a dream team. Top tier versus fighting."
