Manufacturer's Description

Sega Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3)

This installment in the critically-acclaimed Virtua Fighter series packs a serious punch fueled by the power of the PLAYSTATION 3. Virtua Fighter 5 has an all-star cast of 17 fighters, including characters from the previous iterations along with two new characters named El Blaze and Eileen. El Blaze is a Mexican fighting champion that defeats unsuspecting opponents with his lightning-quick Lucha Libre fighting style and Eileen uses a Monkey Kung Fu fighting style which she learned from her grandfather, a former Kung Fu master. Choose from an array of costumes and attachable items and then step into the ring and prove that you're the best.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Deep Gameplay

Weaknesses:Can be challenging for new comers

Overall Evaluation: Virtua Fighter 5 is the 5th game in the legendary Virtua Fighter series. You will be hard pressed to find a deeper fighting system then this one, and that can be both good and bad. Good because it will keep you occupied for a long time, bad because it will be tough for people new to the series at first. The game looks great and has a good single player mode. Overall I recommend Virtua Fighter 5 to any fighting game fan out there.

Duration of ownership: 60 Days

Strengths: many characters to choose from, unlockable items, costumes

Weaknesses:no online play mode, lack of story

Overall Evaluation: The Virtua Fighter series came from a long way back from the early Sega Genesis days. The gameplay remains with 3 simple buttons of course, punch, block and kick. There are 2 new characters in this once since Virtua Figher Evolution which included Eilieen and El Blaze. The quest mode is very close to the one found in VF 4 where characters gain money and items to costumize. There is even replay mode where arcade matches are found. Fans of VF or even not will be pleased.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very solid fighting system, good variety of characters, quest mode adds replayability

Weaknesses:Fighting system not beginner friendly, the computer AI is not very challenging, lack of online play.

Overall Evaluation: Virtua fighter 5 gives a nice leap in graphics from the previous games. Anybody who has played the past games will be right at home here, unfortunately for everybody else the Virtua Fighter series has never been beginner friendly and will take a few hours learning the basics of the game, before you really start enjoying it.Quest mode has you traveling from arcade to arcade earning points to buy accessories to change the appearance of your character. This adds a lot of replayability, but after a while you will wish that it had an online mode for you to challenge new people.Note to all of the veteran players out there, the PS3 version is based on Ver. B of the arcade version and not the newer Ver. C, which includes some balance tweaks. But the differences are minimal and unless you are a hardcore player you will probably not notice the difference.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: a lot characters

Weaknesses:hard to play, doesn't have any online play

Overall Evaluation: Best fighting game. No other fighting game ever made can match the intricate beauty of this game. I grow up with this game. This new version has definitely the best image quality with PS3's hardware accelation. I like the deepest single-player mode,quest mode, a lot. Too bad Virtua Fighter 5 doesn't have any online play.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Pretty graphics, lots of moves, two new fighters to select

Weaknesses:Basically the same game; no online player versus player on PS3 version

Overall Evaluation: Let me start off by saying I am a huge fan of Virtua Fighter. I loved the original game in the arcades and was quite good at it. I bought the Sega 32X to get it for home play. I bought the Sega Saturn to play it, even buying Virtua Fighter Kids. I bought the Sega collection game for the PSP to play something that calls itself a Virtua Fighter game. I bought both Virtua Fighter 4 and Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution for the PS2. Now I bought a PS3 and Virtua Fighter 5.And I am quite disappointed. This game is just like Virtua Fighter 4 and Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution. Sure, the graphics are better, but, underneath it all, it's the same game. I guess that could be said about most of the series...maybe I'm finally growing tired of it. After playing a lot of VF4, the game essentially boiled down to a game of rock-paper-scissors, except it's low attack-mid attack-high attack. I used to be interested in the new characters they tack on, not minding buying the game all over again to get them, but, for whatever reason, I just can't get excited about El Blaze (luchador) and Eileen (monkey style).And the music...oh god, the music...I hate it. It's so last-gen. In fact, aside from the graphics upgrade, I don't see how VF5 takes advantage of anything else the new console has to offer. The music stinks, the game seems tiny (so no real use of the Blu-Ray disc, yet it takes up a huge amount of hard disk space anyway). On top of that, Sega screwed PS3 owners by putting online play in the 360 version but not this one. I'm sure Sega will repackage this with online and some other add-ons and re-release it again for the PS3, since this is the sort of thing they've done throughout the series, but I'm out. I've become very jaded about Virtua Fighter, and, unless Sega shows me something revolutionary, this is my last Virtua Fighter installment.
