Virtua Fighter 5 reviews are in
Great news gang, the Virtua Fighter 5 review scores are in, boys and girls, and we are proud, but not surprised, to say, Virtua Fighter 5 is officially awesome! Yep, it’s true, so lets get stuck in shall we?
1UP: 10/10
If you love fighting games and want to play a fighter that continually unveils new wrinkles day in and day out and rewards dedication like no other, this is the game to get. Virtua Fighter 5 may not have kangaroos or weapons or bridges to fall off of, but it has unmatched playability as its calling card, and that’s the only thing that counts.
IGN: 9.0 (outstanding) Editors Choice Awards
Fighter is the best fighting series in videogames. Sorry Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, DOA, and every other contender. No series has offered greater depth and complexity over its lifetime than SEGA-AM2’s Virtua Fighter.
Euro Gamer: 9/10
You already know just how much we love this game. And now, with an online mode that actually works and a wealth of new goodies to round up (not to mention the lure of Gamerpoints making us more likely to push for the higher ranks or actually play through arcade mode for once), we love it even more. Best fighting game on the 360, easily. Best fighting game of this generation, easily. Best version of this sterling beat-’em-up, easily.
OMX UK: 9.0
There is no such thing as perfection. It’s something every developer aspires to but ultimately, can never reach. It’s the impossible ideal. Bioshock is not perfection. Jessica Alba is not perfection. Even waking up on Friday morning to find you’ve been given the day off for some whimsical reason, seeing a £500 cheque addressed to you in the post and finding a missed phone call from the ex you’ve been lusting over since you split, that’s not perfection. Perfection simply doesn’t exist so while the quest to attain it is admirable, the quest to find it as pointless as returning that phone call is (she was actually drunk and trying to call a cab. Sorry. Perfection doesn’t exist, remember?).However, there is such a thing as pretty damn close to perfection. That’s where Virtua Fighter 5 sits. As far as fighting games go, it is unrivalled as the king of the genre. That’s the good news. The better news is this Xbox 360 version the absolute best version of Virtua Fighter 5 possible, making it well worth that torturous wait following the PlayStation3 release.

Hmm, Virtua Fighter? Havnet played tat since VF2 and all those saturn fighter spin offs.
I liked the visuals of the PS3 one, and Xbox360 is affordable enough. Hmm, seems I’ll need to go grab me one then.
And online play woo!

I hope Game Spot doesn’t review this game
if they’re going to give it game less than 9.0.
(Don’t you remember what they did whith Shenmue 2?
,in fact they don’t like AM2! because one time
during a Shenmue event SEGA didn’t allow them to enter)
BTW 10/10 is also my score…TNX 1UP!…
also a big TNX to IGN for their review!
I like this part:

BTW as I see user score aren’t as good as site scores!
Let’s give VF5 a high score at IGN, 1UP and GS…
(well, if we have a user name in their sites!)
In my opinion even a die hard Tekken or DOA fan shouldn’t give it less than 9.0

Virtua Fighter 5, no good, will always have a low user score. Why? Because PS3 fanboys can’t get over it being on the X360 too.

Cleaned it up so it made more sense.

SHAME ON GAME SPOT!
Didn’t I told you that they don’t like AM2, Shenmue and VF!
Here is their score!

(Let’s teach them a lesson by giving a 10/10 user score to VF5 X360)…

While the guy complains about pointless crap and has rated shit like DefJam just as high as VF, that isn’t a bad score.

I become sad when I see Game Spot gives more than 9.0 to crappy fighting games…VF5 doesn’t deserve less than 9.0
TNX to 1UP again for their
10/10, also TNX to IGN for their editor’s choice award!
