I really haven't had the chance to play it...until just recently. Dominus bought it for his PS2. I guess this is sort of a personal review. I've got my opinions, so let me start by saying that ALL STATEMENTS MADE ARE MY OPINION! Flame if you feel like it, but remember that before you do. Now on with the show...
The first character I used was May (this was by accident, believe me). The Dolphin is pretty cool, and that anchor makes for a cool weapon, I'll get into May herself later. Anyway, the first things I noticed was how easy the combo system is. Anyone that says that MvC2 is button mashers friendly probably hasn't played this. I was busting out insane combos almost immediately. And another thing about the combo system: this is probably the most "anything goes" combo system I've ever played with. I like it though. It sets the game apart from the rest of the fighting games out there.
What can I say about the graphics? The animation is of great quality (not really on MotW or SFIII standards), and the backgrounds are among the coolest and best looking I've ever seen!
Characters:
Johnny: I'm going to talk about him FIRST AND FOREMOST, because at the moment, he's the coolest GG character. What style! What moves!
Potemkin: AWESOME! My love of the big, hard hitters continues with this monster! Question: wasn't Potemkin the boss of the first GG? I've never played it, obviously.
Sol Badguy (I love this name!): Pretty cool. Preeeeeeetty cool. Nice moves, awesome design. I'll just add him to my list of cool main characters...
Ky: Looks a lot like Kaede from LB2. I like his moves and his style though, even if it is extremely basic and typical for a main character.
Dr. Baghead a.k.a. Faust: Uh, did I say that Johnny was the best character in the game? I must have forgotten about Faust. I love freaky, oddball characters, and Faust has just made it to the top of my list of weirdo faves! That instant kill move is just...too...funny!!!
Millia: Uh....one of my lesser liked characters. It's cool that she's an assassin, but I'm not digging the whole hair thing...
May: Another typical loud mouth, annoying, trying-to-hard-to-be-cute character. Oh no, tell me she just didn't do the typical "V" for victory while winking one eye pose that is SO typical of those "kawaii" (oh, how I absolutely HATE that term) characters! Oh well, guess I'll dump in her in the stinking pile of crappy "kawaii" trash along with Athena, Yuri, and so many other pieces of trash...
Baiken: Didn't see much of her, but what I did see was pretty awesome, especially her instant death move...
Zato-1: One of the most original ideas for a character I've ever seen. The whole shadow thing is just TOO cool. He also gets extra points for having the same voice actor as Hyo Imawano of Rival Schools and Project Justice fame.
I know I'm forgetting a few characters, but that means that I have more researach to do on them.
Also, the whole "rivalry between the two leading characters" thing is beyond dead. I'm disappointed to see the developers (Sammy?) use this overly cliched storyline item. Heck, they even made it between the brunette main character and the blonde supporting, almost-main character...
Overall, I'd give this game an A. Some of the best character designs I've ever seen in any game EVER, solid (but still needing a little polish) gameplay, and it's just a blast. I can't wait to play it again.
Oh, and one more thing....this game (played on default difficulty) is hard, hard, HARD!!!

correction: potemkin was not a boss, he's just a big guy who was also in GG. the bosses of GG were testament and justice.
yah, the game is tough even on normal, especially comp sol. he's a murderer
faust is awesome. playing him isn't easy but its very fun. whenever you finish a combo with him, throw out an item. and remember, the meteor is godly.
true johnny is awesome, i gotta learn the mist trap though since i can't fdc worth crap.
i millia is cool, i just don't like how she plays
i love may! i like the cute loud mouth types. and yes, i like akari from last blade too. that her whale super is very useful.
you face off against boss dizzy? she's a toughie, but she's no snk boss.

ALL STATEMENTS MADE ARE MY OPINION!
You know, I almost think the same as you...
The game has a broken combo system, the first time I played it, I was doing marvelous combos (and I didn't know what the hell I was doing...)
Some characters are way too powerful, and it has some wacky values... The game is pretty beautiful, but empty...
But even with those problems, I enjoy it a lot, it has cool characters, awesome music and of course the noticeable Hi res graphics, the AI is way too cool (I love hard games!), and the moves are cool as well!
In a nutshell, I look at this game like a precious blonde with a killer body, but stupid as hell...
Even if you don't like stupid blondes, you can still have a good time with her (compared to some not so cute looking girls but interesting in every way)...
I think my comparison is too weird for everyone, but I hope some of you may get the idea...

You finally played this game? It's about time you played it. Usoi! ¬_¬
I'm kidding.
Yeah, the game is pretty good, especially for a fighter not made by Capcom or SNK. Hopefully, I'll play the sequel, if it is in Sunnyvale.
