Product Description
Virtua Fighter 5 offers worldwide fighting stages in which as many as 17 contestants vie, including two new characters, El Blaze, a Mexican wrestler who dominates with his Lucha Libre fighting style, and Eileen, a Chinese Monkey style kung-fu champion. SEGA also has implemented a new "offensive move" enabling players to take down opponents from different angles; these moves are believed to set VF5 apart from past VF games. Like in Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, players can customize their characters. They can pick from four base costumes in the beginning, and then choose from a wide spectrum of unlockable accessories items as they progress. By winning more tournaments, players not only earn costumes and accessories, they receive prizes and in-game money for browsing in the in-game shop. Step into the ring and prove you're the best! ESRB Rated T for Teen

 Like Tekken in Gameplay But Was Hoping More For Something Like DOA 4 December 23, 2008
I recently just got this game and seeing some reviews online thought this would be a good fast-paced fighting game I love like DOA 4. But sadly it just seemed to me to be to reminiscent of the game Tekken and while I like that game as well I was expecting more from VF5, don't get me wrong the video animation and effects are incredible but when you use some of the characters in the fighting they just seemed to be to sluggish for my liking. True the punches and kicks are quick and precise but blocking was pathetic sometimes and trying to grab your opponent just seemed to take to much time, also I thought you would be able to counter an attack like DOA4 but if you're able to good for you I myself haven't been able to. I do like that you can compete with other players online which is pretty good that is where it beats DOA4 somewhat since with this game there isn't a problem with any lagging that I noticed. Also you do get a vast variety of players to choose from which I also like so you shouldn't get to bored for a while, also you do get to customize your players pretty easily giving them such things as different clothes and jewelery to different color hair and hairstyles. So for the price this is going for for any fighting game fan I say it's definitely worth it but if your looking for anything else in a game you might just want to rent this or pass it by altogether...
I felt I should give a little more reason of some of my problems with this game and certain dislikes of it. The one thing is the fight round areas unlike DOA 4 while the backgrounds or nice, and incredible looking there is no player usage of it, meaning that when you play DOA 4 you can hop over an obstacle and do a kick on the other player or if you're close to a wall surface you can wall smash or smash the other character to the ground if timed right. But with this game the background is just for show the only thing other than doing a K.O. is getting the other player out of the game ring and that is it. Also I do like when you have the characters story movie ending or story-plot on why their in the tournament like the game DOA 4 or Tekken5 does sadly VF5 doesn't have this you basically play other characters until the final round an that's it game over. The final annoyance is the commentaries you have with the arcade mode if you wish to have it on, at first its kind of neat but gets tiring quickly and you'll most likely turn it off after just three game rounds if not sooner. So if you want to work of some aggression this is a pretty good choice but for anything else another game might be more suitable...
 Still the #1 fighter. August 31, 2008

Virtua fighter 5 has a lot to offer anyone who is looking for a game with a deep fighting system, and has the time and attention span to put in the practice required to become efficient with the moves, and develop a strategy for any given character in the game.
I haven't played the playstation 3 version,(v.b) but the Xbox version is a pretty much perfect translation of the version c arcade machine in terms of visuals and gameplay.
My only real gripe with the game is that there is some lag online from time to time.
Also, if you are planning on becoming a bonafide VF, you might as well plan on purchasing one of those Hori arcade sticks(available for both xbox and ps3) at the same time. some of the games more complex moves are next to impossible pull off with any consistency with the analog control.
Anyone who is a fan of the previous VF games should pick this up immediately, IMO it's the best in the series. For those of you who have never played it be forewarned,
if you are looking for a quick fighting fix, or something you can pick up relatively easy, go with soul caliber4 or dead or alive 4. Again, the learning curve for virtua fighter 5 is pretty extreme.
I give this game an 8/10 July 16, 2008

This game is fun for anyone who can move their fingers a lot faster than mine. I couldn't get used to the ontrols too much either. and the special moves are hard to pull off when you have to move your character at Sonic speed. I wouldn't buy this game again, good thing I traded this in along with Outrun 2 and Outrun 2006.
 not worth the money July 11, 2008

I paid full price for this game which is unfortunate because I got bored of it very quickly. It's easy to get started in the game but difficult to master moves. The commentary and music is cheesy but it's fun to play now and then if you need to get out some aggression or for your video fighting fix. There are some fun extras such as purchasing clothing and accessories but there's not enough to the game to justify paying full price. Buy it only if you can get it cheap.
Best fighter out! June 16, 2008
Good-Graphics are great/environments are highly detailed/can be challenging w.o being frustrating/LOADS of customization possibilities/DEEP fighting system/optional in-fight commentary makes it seem like your watching a real fight/Online play/FUN!!!
Bad-some advanced moves might be hard to pull off
This game ROCKS!!. If you like fighting games but you dont like the AI being able to predict games then this one is for you. The AI had been revamped to perform like a human player instead of a cpu, and man does it replicate a human accurately. The AI will do things such as block out of nowhere and use repeated moves if its working. Even on the harder levels the AI still performs more like a human and less like a cpu that makes you pay for every punch you throw(DOA4. I have had this game for about 4months now and I have yet to get tired or frustrated with it.
