Not bad though. Was not as fun as expected. No problems with this at all. Game worked perfect. (thought the graphics would be much better.
This Video game and it guide book are great for the price and value. I will recommend it to action fans out there with PS3 and XBOX 360.
I think Eileen is great and totally worth her weight in the game (she probably doesn't weigh that much, though), but "El Blaze" is one of the most retarded things ever to be found in the entire series. A lot of the character models look worse and in many instances cheesy. This is going to sound very strange, but the graphics are both better and worse than Virtua Fighter 4. If you ask me, the creators of VF are doing a poor job attempting to integrate more "Western" style fighters; many of these recent additions are bland and uninteresting, and they probably don't correspond very well to actual martial arts trends in the Western world (not to say that the game is supposed to be realistic, but it does have better realism than practically all other fighters).Which reminds me--if you've never played the VF series before and are just looking for a fighting game, you might appreciate the game's relative amount of realism.This game appears to include all of the great features that were introduced in VF4:Evolution. Unfortunately, I daresay that VF4:E does these better than VF5 does.Overall it's a great buy and a solid PS3 title to keep on your shelf. As another reviewer mentioned, it's definitely worth having for the affordable price tag.That being said, this game fell a little bit short of my expectations. I have loved the Virtua Fighter series more than any other fighting game since I first played the original Virtua Fighter in arcades.
In any case, play them both and you will see what I'm talking about.As for the content, I have mixed feelings about the new characters. Having a lucha libre character is actually a decent idea, and the end result could have been very nice, but for some reason it just didn't work out here. Every time El Blaze appears in the game, you will cringe. You can skip the monotonous Arcade mode and go for the Quest mode, which lets you fight more varied opponents for rank and prizes such as character customizations. The rings and backdrop are gorgeous, but they too seem to have suffered aesthetically. In fact, Brad actually seems better in VF5 than he did in Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. I'm still convinced that Virtua Fighter is the best fighting game on any platform (sorry, Soul Calibur), so if you want a fighting game for the PS3, this is it (Tekken fans, prepare to launch your rebuttal).IF you have a PS2, then get Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution instead; you'll save some money, and I honestly believe it is a better game than VF5 and possibly the best fighting game I've ever played.
It really seems like the developers tried to "overdo" the graphics and ended up creating a game that looks worse than VF4; it is a little more flashy (or dare I say gaudy) and a little less realistic.
For just $20 it seemed like a great deal (and it was).
They're better in the sense that the game is hi-res, fits my widescreen LCD, and is more detailed.
Some people will like this.
If you are playing on an HD display (eg widescreen LCD), then definitely choose VF5.
It's fair to say that VF5 is just VF4:Evolution with updated graphics (and alas, if only they had just done that).
This was the first game I bought for the PS3.
However, as they say, the devil is in the details; it seems that the game has lost of visual quality and finesse when it was reworked for the new graphical format.
I also thought that Brad and the blue guy were stupid characters when they were introduced, but even they are better than El Blaze.
Not a great game, but very good and definitely worth a twendo.Highly recommended to those with fight sticks
this game is awesome. at first i tought it was boring and hard to play then i went to the dojo section to train and within a week i rank up to 6 dan.
