 and it was a good lunch break. . .  ^_~

There's no denying it: Virtua Fighter 5's looks are what made it one of the PS3's most anticipated titles. And why not? One look at this game in motion is enough to convince even the staunchest graphics snobs that VF5 is the best looking next-gen games released so far. Characters are rendered in amazing detail and with enough variety give a unique quality to almost ever aspect of the game.

And it's not just the characters that look amazing, the game's settings are equally, if not more astounding. The only minor complaint is that the game doesn't output at 1080p and the characters, particularly those of the bare-chested variety, seem a bit too glossy, as if they'd been dipped in oil.

But as good as it looks, the game is more than a pretty face. It has tremendous depth and a monster list of moves, which is both good and bad. Virtua Fighter 5 isn't a 'hold-your-hands' fighter; unless you're already familiar with the franchise, you'll be fighting tooth and nail just to complete the normal difficulty setting. But at least it isn't a brain-dead button mashing affair, and your dedication and patience will definitely be rewarded. . . . . . . .

Thats good news... IGN will give this game a AAA score. But I highly doubt Ricardo Tores(GS VF fan and definite reviewer) will give it a high score, he ranted about the no online aspect of the game.

Well I've only heard on gamespot that SEGA mentioned the game will be run in 720p; so i'm not sure if the 1080p claim is true or not.

Yeah, that's going to be the big factor that could potentially keep it from getting a AAA score on some sites.  Perhaps SEGA will listen and try it with the 360 version, but so far they've said neither version will feature any form of online.

Leader boards or some thing would have been nice.I don't think online play for fighters is where it should be yet.

I hope the 360 version has downloadable content and leader-boards. :)

Appears to be averaging high AA to low AAA.  Score on gamerakings right now is 89%

I really dont understand why Sega and other game developers will not put an online mode in their fighting games. Sure they say they dont wanna ruin the experience by having it lag during gameplay but I just find that hard to believe. I mean look at games like RFoM and GeOW. Both have way more action and things going on and I rarely experiece any kind of lag. So how is it that a simple 1 on 1 fighting game would be so taxing on the network that it would lag so horribly? I hate to say it but I'm gonna call it lazyness on the part of the developers. Or maybe I'm missing something here...
