It's the same old Virtua Fighter. I'm disappointed that the game has not evolved more throughout the years, especially with this release. You'd think that being hosted on the PS3 that they'd find better ways to illustrate the true power of the hardware but I think this game could have been done on the PS2 as far as aesthetics go.

As far as the fighting, like I said before it is much of the same thing. I am a proponent of realistic fight games, such is why I've always preferred VF over Tekken: it takes true skill to be a master at this game. The fighting mechanics are the only thing that provides staying power if you've already played/owned VF4 Evo. The quest mode returns and so does the player customization mode. If those were your cup of tea, go for it.

The AI isn't all that fierce either. I have yet to be defeated with Lau and I am 56-0, similar to how I started with VF4 Evo...having not lost until after my hundredth win.

In all, this series is losing ground. I love VF but come on...couldn't they have spoiled us with a Fighter's Megamix 2? That would have floored me.

good graphics, not so fun

Just for the graphics I can say this game is not the same as the rest, but in gameplay is the same thing, I got bored really soon, better bought Smash Brawl for wii instead of this one, eventhough this was a great bargain when I bought it at $10

Excelente Juego

Excelentes gráficos, un poco de complejidad en la combinación de golpes pero es de costumbre desde las otras entregas, no puedes jugar en linea pero si puedes modificar a tu jugador favorito y subirlo de nivel. recomendado ya que no hay hasta ahora otro para esta consola, ademas esta a buen precio.

Depends on What You Are Looking For

The graphics on this game are totally mind blowing! To be honest I have not even tried the one player mode. This game is great, and I mean great for two things. If you have some buddy come over and start trash talking your PS3, maybe saying how super his Xbox 360 is and your (very expensive) PS3 is garbage, well, you just whip out the ol' Virtual Fighter 5 and not only show this dweeb the mind blowing graphics, but you then can proceed to kick his silly butt all over the screen in the game with the sexy little blue hair girly in a cage match. Totally fun multiplayer with many, many, and I mean many, button, stick, trigger combos. Got friends? Get this game! Got no friends? Maybe pick up that lame Lost: Via Domus game.

Disappointed, but it is a launch title

After playing VF4 on my PS2, I had to make this one of the first games I got for my PS3. Unfortunately, they only upgraded the graphics, not the gameplay.

It is basically more of the same old thing, if not less. Most of the moves are the same as the last one, with little new ones. There are some new characters but they are basically combinations of others.

There is no incentive to "solve" the game. You can play through the arcade version and if you're good enough, maybe you can beat that silver chick but that's about it. The "quest" mode is basically just a rehash of the older game. Move up in rank, fight tougher foes, get a new item of clothing or sunglasses and that's about it.

If you are just playing the games's AI, it will get boring quick. It might be fun to invite your friends over and beat the living snot out of them, but even that will get old after awhile.

I really expected a lot more than what this game offered but as I mentioned, it was made so that it could be one of the first games available for the new gen of consoles. If they make a VF6, hopefully they'll add more to the game than just graphics.

Nice Views, but not much much fun..

The views and some scense are great..
The game it self is nice, but its like an upgrade of the old school games..
The player control is a bit different than the training but you will get use to it...
Enjoy...

Decent game ^_^

Pretty good game, the graphics, the sound, and the areas is awesome. The only problem is there is no ending for the characters, but it still a cool game.

disappointed

I got Virtua Fighter 5 when Toys R Us was having their buy 2 get 1 free sale, and this was the free game. I only chose this game because of all the good reviews and high score on ign.com. I was very disappointed when I actually played it. Its just a nice looking, side-scrolling fighting game. I'm going to wait for Soulcalibur IV before I buy another fighting game.

It is what it is

A quality, well-put together fighting game with some great characters and moves that are fun to pull off. Unless you have a bunch of people who know and love the game though, this has limited replay value. No online mode is a downer, but understandable given the frame-based gameplay. Two player is lots of fun.
