2 out of 5 stars Amazing graphics........and nothing more!   July 10, 2008
I would have thought that after 4 versions of this game, that SOMEONE would have thought about the controls.....or gameplay, in general.....

The good:
The graphics are great! Vivid colors, smooth action sequences, nice fighting moves...etc etc

The bad:
Controls SUCK!




1 out of 5 stars Worst pieace of junk of a game   June 3, 2008

This game was terrible, the gameplay was hard the storymode sucked, the combos are terrible, and it's real boaring. This game was a massive breakdown after virtua fighter4 evolution that was the best virtua fighter game but this was a waste of time and money. The customization is not that good, the 2player sucked, the movement is a little to heavy, i perfer dead or alive4 cause thats more lighter and the attacks are more eaiser then this trashy game. The training did'nt help much just some attacks but then after awhile it was a waste of time being that its hard to even use the great combos, the graphics were good but thats really it. Theres no new characters there all from virtua fighter4 evolution the stages are the same and theres not much to do in this game, so this was a terrible game.


2 out of 5 stars Good 3D fighting game, but not the best   May 29, 2008

If you want a good fighting game, this game would be you're first choice right? Wrong, Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection is the best fighting game on PS3, get that from the PSN for $20, it downloads directly to your ps3 and can then be accessed at any time without any need of a disc.

I'm sure the game is great atleast good but since I have yet received my game I wouldn't know. After sending a couple of e-mails to Amazon and Hi-Def to inquire about my game and getting no reponse I feel ignored and fustrated so I think the only recourse I have is to no longer purchase anything else from Amazon

It's the same old Virtua Fighter. I'm disappointed that the game has not evolved more throughout the years, especially with this release. You'd think that being hosted on the PS3 that they'd find better ways to illustrate the true power of the hardware but I think this game could have been done on the PS2 as far as aesthetics go.

As far as the fighting, like I said before it is much of the same thing. I am a proponent of realistic fight games, such is why I've always preferred VF over Tekken: it takes true skill to be a master at this game. The fighting mechanics are the only thing that provides staying power if you've already played/owned VF4 Evo. The quest mode returns and so does the player customization mode. If those were your cup of tea, go for it.

The AI isn't all that fierce either. I have yet to be defeated with Lau and I am 56-0, similar to how I started with VF4 Evo...having not lost until after my hundredth win.

In all, this series is losing ground. I love VF but come on...couldn't they have spoiled us with a Fighter's Megamix 2? That would have floored me.
