Virtua Fighter 5 Reviews
 |
I have never had so much fun without online.
GRAPHICS
This is where the game really gets good. The graphics are amazing. I even played it on a non HD tv and it was still great. But on an HD tv its just revolutionary. You can see sweat, veins everything. And the extra gear that you put on your charecter doesnt just awkwordly slap on like it might in other game. But really most of the good graphics is in the cut scenes and backgrounds. The actually fighting graphics arnt that great.
STORY
THe story wasnt really as good as it was original. Instead of the usual every player has his own story you are actually playing a person that is going to arcades and playing people in virtua fighter. You wont actually find yourself getting into the story but still you have to give some points for originality.
GAMEPLAY
Definantly amazing. Not like your regular console fighters this one seems really out of the arcade perfect. And if you have the joystick thats even better. The combos are very smooth and interesting and its fun using your environment in certain places. Definantly superior to most fighting games.
AI
This is where the game isnt that good. YOu see when the opponents get higher in rank, its not really that they get more skilled and are more like your playing a real person. It seems like the more you go up that they just throw more and block more. But there are lots of problems with AI in almost every fighting game.
MULTIPLAYER
It geels just like it does when your at an arcade fighting random people at tekken. There arnt really any cheap players which keeps out bloodbaths at parties and it plays out very smoothly and not repetitivly. If only it had online then we could test our skills with people other than family members.
RENT BUY OR SKIP
If you have a PS3 you should definantly buy this game. You will not regret it.

If you are looking for a fun fight, this is your game. If your looking for an easy fight, try something else.
Virtua Fighter 5 is the 5th game in the long-running Virtua Fighter series. It has 17 characters, a wide range of levels, 2 player functionality, 2 different single player modes, and some deep customization on all the characters. Though this game does have its flaws though. Beating Arcade mode is the least rewarding thing in all of fightin game history. You play for about 40 minutes trying to beat the overly hard characters. Then, after you beat the final stage, which is usually just some other charcter, you get to go to a bonus stage and fight Dural, who is VERY HARD, their are no continues on the bonus stage. Afetr you beat arcade mode, its goes directly to the credits, their is no "Congratulations on winning the fifth world fighting tournament". After the credits, you charcter get 1,500G to spend on customizing him or her. 1,500G can buy about a glove or a necklace, but thats it. I have not yet beaten quest mode, in which you go around to different arcades trying to be the best VF player in the world. In quest, it is altmost the same as arcade mode, but with alot more battle, item battles, ranking matchs, and National and local tournaments. The graphics are a very high point for this title. You can see every detail, from the glittering water, to the sweat rolling down the fighters face. But for such a difficult, repetive game, i think they should asked $50, maybe even $40. All-in-all, VF5 is a wonderful advancement in the series, but its raging difficulty, lack of online play, and boring arcade and mode make this game from being perfect.
