This game is really fun beyond reason. A fighting game fan like me definitely would say this is worth the 60 bucks... :)
I remember playing the very first Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn and having a lot of fun with it...great fighting system and dope characters...Kage was my favorite off of that one. But eventually, I havent played it in ages and Ive been getting into some other games. This year, however, I have been going back on my video games and increasing my video game collection on my 360. I then heard about Virtua Fighter 5 coming out for the 360 and I was very excited for it to come out and it definitely was worth the wait.
Virtua Fighter 5 is basically a 3D fighting game with various fighters with various styles, including Kung-Fu, Kickboxing, Wrestling, etc. You have arcade mode, which Im sure all of you guys know. Quest Mode is a new mode thats been added, where you go to various arcades to fight many players. You earn money to buy yourself some new items, such as clothing and orbs and edit your player, if you dont like how your number 1 fighter looks like, you can change his costumes and such so thats a thing to be happy about.
The graphics look extremely great...almost on some Gears of War material but not there just yet....the environments look very real and makes you feel like you're actually watching tv and controlling the people fighting hahaha. I havent played the PS3 version myself but friends have told me that the Xbox 360 version has much better graphics so makes me even happier.
Now the big step up for the Virtua Fighter series, online play. As the name of the game, the xbox 360 version of VF5 can now be played online and the online is just great. It has the very same feeling of going over to an arcade to play a fighting game and challenging a lot of people. You will win some, you will lose some, depends on your skills with fighting games...Ive been playing ranked matches a lot as of recently and Ive been doing pretty good...Im already on my first dan and I have an equal amount of wins and losses....like I said, you win some, you lose some...it depends how you play it out.
To conclude this review, this game would be highly recommended for a fighting game fan and with this title being on the xbox 360 and xbox live added to it...this is a must have.
