Best Fighting game in History!! The only fighter that can steal 20 Hours out of my day and I didn't even notice it!
The Dojo mode is a great way to learn the system and mechanics of the game. VF can appeal to experienced fighter and novices just the same but an experieced fighter can easily display a rigorous combination of attacks that will level an opponent. Unlike Tekken the balance system and timing are more important to combat than button mashing. Any well timed attach position an opponet directly into a dizzy position that will lead to there doom. You got to love It.
I am playing the quest mode which places you in a constant arcade scenario with constant fighter waiting to take you on. I though this would be borring at first but I was really more enjoyable than I could even imagine. The early series of fights are easy but then out of nowhere you may face a 9th Dan opponent that is completely fear less.
Customize your characters. Customizing your character adds your own flare to the Butt kicking you will be serving. Glasses hats Hair styles you name it yes even rocket launchers. Trust me it is a blast (no you can't use the rocket launcher I tryed it is just for show :( )! any fighting fan would go nuts for this game and they should it is great!!!
The new stages are pretty awsome. I wish some of the old stages from VF3 were included off level stages were pretty interesting
Graphics 9.5/10
even better than DOA I was completely amazed by this. My only pet peve was the water effects on the stages where you fight on water. I think that if character fell in the water they should have had some water driping or splashes when characters fell. But will at the other great features I think The rest of the content Makes up for it.
Control 10/10:
Even with a contoller after an our or so i learned how to do the infamous SPD, (Stun Palm of Doom). One of the hardest to perform moves since Akuma's Raging Dragon (Super Street Fighter II). 3 hits of pure Devastation. I spent almost 10 years learning how to perform this move in succession and it only took 1 hour. An arcade stick is desired but with practice a regular controller can be used with the same skill as a Sword with a Samurai.
Gamplay 10/10

Value 10/10
I got it for 39.99 Tell that isn't great value!!
Overall I am going to give this game a 9.5. 9.99 was not available. I want to really give it a 10 but I would be lying to the concept that there isn't more that could have been done, I am just not sure now of what that is? I spent hundreds of hour in the arcade playing 4 now I can play 5 in the santitly of my Own home I am now at one with my self!!! THANK YOU SEGA!! I LOVE YOU! I want to name my first born after you!!
