I'm a street fighter fan, so 2-d games are better for me overall. Still, how could you not like VF5! Beautiful graphics, realistic martial arts moves, clever fighter sign offs, so much more. Outstanding game for a very reasonable price. Any fan of fighting games must make this purchase.

I had been looking for this game a long time in local stores and found it on Amazon at an AMAZING price. I love this series, my kids love this series, and it is an excellent game; I would highly recommend Amazon.com and this seller.

Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution was a greatest hits copy of Virtua Fighter 4. I cam with 2 new character that weren't in the original: Brad and Goh. VF4: EVO had the most comprehensive training mode tutorial I've ever seen in a video game EVER. There was also this mode that simulated a pro gamer hopping arcades on the road to becoming a master; this carried over into VF5, but doesn't feel quite as good.
Although VF5 adds an addition 2 characters to the roster, improves the graphics and character costume customization possibilities, keeps the same overall controls from VF4: EVO... there is something terribly missing. After playing the tutorial modes in VF4: EVO and VF5 not having any, this game feels lazy. It's like, I have to go back to PS2 copy of EVO if I ever get rusty in the game mechanics, which is frustrating and makes Sega look bad. Why the heck didn't they carry it over? I'm sure somethings have changed in this newer installment, but there's no way to tell unless you're a die hard VF fan.
The online fighting mode is here, but is lacking. There is only a 2 player lobby, like Street Fighter 4, but playing with your friends is frustrating because you have to quit out if you wanna change characters. The VF series is very MAIN CHARACTER driven, which to me means that to get good at this game you need to focus on just 1 or 2 characters alone, but the online interface feels BAD and limited. :(
After player VF4: EVO (2003), I concluded that VF had out did anything Tekken had ever done. EVO was better than Tekken 4 and 5 IMO. I have 2 friends on x-box live that call DOA the best 3D fighting series; currently claiming that the latest entry has the best online fighting game service there is. I don't know what to make of DOA because I never had an X-BOX. Right now I still think that VF is better than Tekken, but Tekken 6 coming this fall has been getting a lot of buzz; way more than any VF game in my memory. Although, Tekken has been a commercial success over the years because the home versions were launched on PS1 during a time when gaming evolved from being just for children to being for adults too. VF wasn't able to create as popular a fan base because until 2002 with VF4 the series had been Sega exclusive, not to mention the game play is a bit more technical.
In conclusion I have to say VF5 ONLINE is a disappointment because they didn't carry over the EXCELLENT tutorial training mode and the online match making feels crappy.

If your looking to get this game for some quick achievements, don't.
This game is exceedingly hard in arcade mode if you have the dificulty set to normal. Thankfully you can put it on easy or even very easy if your that much of a noob at fighting games.
The controls are spot on, this is no button masher.
Quest mode even for one arcade to be completed takes over 5 hours and its just fight after fight and get monotonous. Even if you can defeat every one, you have to leave the arcade and come back in to refresh the player list to find some one you haven't fought time after time!
I rather like earning my achievements but 5 hours for 20 gamerscore? No thanks.
This game would be near perfection if it werent for the time consuming achievements and the amount of people you have to fight in each arcade.
