Video Game Reviews of Virtua Fighter 5
Customer Review: Great addition to the Virtua Fighter franchise
Summary: 4 Stars
The Virtua Fighter franchise has always been a bit of an odd bird to me. But then, I was a Street Fighter faithful first and foremost. This game is beautiful, with fantastic lighting and water effects and amazingly rendered characters. It is almost too pretty to be a fighting game, especially since at times it seems they spent more time polishing the look of the game than the physics and hit detection. There are times you are positive you executed a combo or certain move properly on the controller, but the character refuses to comply with the command, no matter how many times you do it. Then, suddenly, the same combination of buttons will start executing the move you expect again.
It ends up handling like a button-masher at times, since it seems nearly impossible to get the fighters to do your precise bidding. I thought this may be mostly due to my inexperience with these games, but my friend who is a long-time devotee of the series said the same thing when he played. He ended up adapting to the feel of it and laying waste to my attempts to speed mash my way to victory, so I know it can be mastered.
Overall, the game is always fun, there are plenty of characters and modes, and it is always visually stunning. If you are a fan of fighting games, this one is a definite must-have.
