Need to play the others ones? First things first, i've always been a Tekken fan. SoulCalibur too but that has weapons so i don't put it in the same fighter bracket. I understand that many people regard the Virtua Fighter series quite highly and as a seasoned gamer i thought it was about time i expanded my beat 'em horizons. I've enjoyed many, many hours of Tekken with my friends sat around a play station. But VF5 wasn't enjoyable at all.

What a game! Firstly if you don't like the beat'em up genre this game will not change your mind. I am a huge fan of beat em ups; I have played Tekken's 1-5, soul blade/calibur 1, 2 & 3, capcom vs snk 2 and virtua fighter 4 amongst others. Virtua fighter 5 is easily one of the best fighting games iv'e played. The only downside is its quite intimidating for begginers, as the helpfull tutorial style training from previous virtua's is missing from this game. The play is smooth and fast paced and it is a technical... more info
