The low score from Jeff nearly gave me a heart attack. Not because I was angry, but because it gave me some doubt that this game wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be. Rest assured this game is good. The bar of which “that good” is was raised because of this game. This is definitely one of the best games ive ever played. The depth and complexity of the game play brings me to tears. You can call me a VF fanboy, but the truth of the matter is that I play which ever game is great, no matter of the title or series. I have

Tekken DRin my psp. I also have DOA4 on my 360 along with just about every Soul Calibur on my Dreamcast / ps2. I’m going to write a full review later and post it on the VF5 section, but I just wanted to tell you guys this now because of the negative things I am hearing about this game. Give yourselves a treat and play this brilliant game.

I agree. I don't read GS reviews but I did check out the IGN review before I picked the game up.... I do understand them wanting an online mode, but I really don't agree with any of their other complaints. It's an awesome game. From the graphics to the gameplay, everything feels great.

Much like yourself, I play quite a few fighting games on multiple consoles and this is the best fighter I have played on a console so far... the move set is without competition in my opinion.

Yea, if you've "liked" any of the previous VF titles, you'll "love" this one.... that's pretty much guaranteed.

To tell you the truth... this is the first VF game ive really loved. I like the others, but I havent been in love of a fighter game like this sense Soul Calibur on the dreamcast.

About a year ago I pointed out that GameSpot supports xbox & wii & dislikes the ps3. I don't know why, but you can tell in the polls they always were putting up. They would never really have a "do you dislike the wii" answer, or a "hell no, we won't play 360". But if the poll consisted of the ps3, 1 answer would be "yeah.. maybe i'll get it" and the rest were BLASPHEMY AGAINST the PS3. All kinds of rediculious accusions & crap, like "it won't make it, there aren't any diodes". Something really retorical and stupid. I'm not sure of their view on the PS2 or 1, but GS hates the PS3.

Gamespot was paid to give PS3s games low scores anyways. because it's parent company, C-Net is basically affilated with Micrsoft.

So what do you think? Obviously Gamespot is being forced to give PS3s below average scores not appropriate scores. I expected this VF5 to get at least a 9.1 but nah a 8.1

Other than the fact that you have to to turn the difficulty up to at least Hard, (if not Advanced), to get a real challenge in the game, this is the best looking & best-playing fighting game that I have ever experienced on a console, (and I play them all).  My only other small gripe is no leaderboards & the ability to upload other people's AI fighters to play against would have been cool.

Yes and that is the reason it "only" got 8.1. If those features were in the game im sure it would have gotten 9+.

Oh boy here we go with the Anti PS3 conspiracy theories. An 8.1 is a very good score, this is the 5th game in a series of fighting games that has no online ... its not gonna set new records.

There is online. You can save your replay files and then trade them through out the net.

This game isnt meant to be online in the first place,if the guy that reviewed it knew anything about vf's fighting system he would have realized that. The truth is they did the same thing they did with resistance- nit pick at every minor detail they could find and only grade it based on that instead of the good things in the game. Take a look at all the other scores for both resistance and vf5, both of them have at least one perfect scor and a majority of the rest are 9s....its sad really, look at the review, they talk about its stunning graphics and gameplay, but they give the graphics and gameplay only 8s....8 is far from stunning.

I just rented it. I think it deserves an 8. But I'm a Tekken fanboy. If your a VF5 fan pick it up, immediately.

There is a trend I notice going around, especially by western game journalists, that put to much emphasis on games having online play. A game shouldn't be judged this way in my opinion. It's the "World Of Warcraft" mentality that gamers should be wasting hours upon hours playing strangers. I'm not saying I don't like playing online but it shouldn't be an issue with reviewing a game unless it is a MMORPG.

This game got a 9.1 at Gametrailers. Watch there video review its a lot better done and thought out than Gamespots also the guy that did the gametrailers one sounds like he cares unlike the gamespot guy he sounds like he is fed up with games in general.

This is the most awesome fighter that I've played on a console period.... and I don't know one that I haven't played yet. The AI in the arcade level could have been harder.... but on the harder settings it DOES present a challenge... so I don't really see any problem there. And the quest mode is where you're going to really go to get your challenge anyway.

The online thing that the game is lacking is an online mode..... and after playing it, I think that's probably a good thing. The gameplay and the speed of the fighters is PERFECT. I really doubt that it could've been duplicated online. If you enjoy fighters, you really do owe it to yourself to get this game..... This is the first time that a console fighter has been better than an arcard experience IMO (assuming of course that you're able to enjoy how gorgeous this game looks in 720p).

I'm not really sure what the reviewer was thinking.... There is not currently a better console fighter on the market. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more environments in the game.... but the ones that are in there are pretty awesome! In my opinion, the game deserves a 9.0 - 9.4.
