Virtua Fighter 5 Review

Posted on August 7th, 2007 at 15:18 EDT
Virtua Fighter 5 is a hardcore fighters dream, whether you’re a fan of the series or not.
Pros
  • + Hundreds of different moves to study.
  • + Comprehensive, realistic fighting mechanics.
  • + Lengthy Quest Mode.
Cons
  • - No online functionality.
  • - Single player feels slightly tame compared to other fighters.
  • - Definitely not your typical "pick up and play" brawler.
  9.0

(continued from previous page) ...it’s one player offering, while amply supplemented by the fantastic Quest mode, comes off a little underdeveloped by today’s standards; a couple more game modes would have been more than appreciated. Additionally, the lack of online play is bewildering; ultimately, however, beat ‘em up aficionados will be hard pressed to find a more rewarding endeavour this generation.

Love this game, the creativity and fluidity of the movesets, the customisation options and the graphics combine to make it a totally sublime and fun game...

Nice review but I personally don't care for Virtue Fighter games. Sure its great for people who want to spend a long long time developing their master finger skills but the level of fun to start with isn't there without it. Not what I can get from Tekken or Soul Caliber anyway.

Listen. the VF series has it's fans, it deserves them because the game is a masterful creation. BUT that's only if you are the type of person that actually knows martial arts and has the patients to effectivly learn 8 different fighting styles. VF is not some simple Game were you learn a dozen or so moves per character it's a game that forces you to learn about 20 to even remotely be able to call your self a beginner. It's easy in single player for the first few fights and then it takes you out back and bends you over the hood of an old ford pick-up and has it's way with you violantly until you bleed and then drops you in the dirt and walks away zipping it's pants and drinking a warm beer. and the only way you can avoid this is if you actually KNOW your enemies combos so you can defend against them and find the opening to counter attack. Do yourself a favor; if you like Tekken stick with it, keep clear of this. If you like Dead or alive or Ninja Gaiden, you might like it atleast for the mild breast physics and customization of characters into funky wierd designs (though it's never as crazy as either of those two games). If you're into walking on hot coals and punching glass shards to get stronger then this is your game. VF IS NOT FOR CASUAL FIGHTING GAME FANS, You have been warned.

VF5 needs 2 be in everyones' collection.@ MSRP of 39.99 it's a gift of the Pugilists' Gods. Do yourself a favor & put the time in it. The first time you pull off "That Sweet Move" you'll be hooked. At the end of the day that's all VF5 is..sweet move after sweet move. Get some.

I play both VF and Tekken.  I love this game so far.  I have enough friends/family to come over and play though.  I wonder what Tekken will do to outshine this one?
