Once again, the ignorant online oriented generation blames the game for not having friends to play with.
User Rating: 9.5 | Virtua Fighter 5 PS3
Best fighting game out. The fighting system is very intuitive and each character is completely unique in how they play. You can use the same character for months and still not master every single move in their arsenal, and even when you do, theres always another interesting character to tackle in a way that completely changes the way you play the game. Quest mode is very fun and has TONS of unlockables to customize your character with. COuld have used more story though. Graphics are amazing and the animations are very fluid. Virtua Fighter has a frame based fighting system in which even the smallest amount of lag would completely break the fighting system and turn the beautiful fighting game into a button masher similar to something like dead or alive. Matches would be nothing but punch,punch,punch,down,kick in rapid succession to see who can press the button the fastest. Completely forget about the in depth counters and throws because those would be rendered completely useless. This is why the game does not have an online feature. Sega themselves have said that home internet connections could not pass their specs for online play, and thus no console version of VF5 would receive online fighting modes. Now the 360 version will most likely end up with leaderboards of VF.TV so remember if that is a deal breaker to you than this game will be coming out on the 360 later this year. Do not listen to the people that down this game because of the no online play issue. Just because they do not have friends to come over and play with them does not mean it is the game's fault.
