World's first 3D Fighter is back to show that SEGA-AM2 is still alive & strong! This game is all about realistic fighting experience, after playing this game now I can easily understand why a big site like 1UP has given it a 10/10!, This game is not only the best fighting game of the year but it's also the best fighting game of this new-generation, Other 3D fighting games such as my beloved Dead Or Alive, my favorite Soul Calibur and my lovely Tekken are always button smashing fighting games & this means that during a fight you may win even without knowing moves & just pressing buttons(maybe that's why those games have better sales) but VF is different, SEGA-AM2's Virtua Fighter as the world's first 3D fighting was & is & will be always real & ahead of it's time both technologically and culturally, This is a game for real gamers, and this new Virtua Fighter for the Xbox 360 can easily prove that it's still the most realistic fighting game ever, You can easily spend years & years with this game because of it's deep & real fighting game play system and it's other exciting stuff. Graphics in Virtua Fighter as a 3D Fighting game is always ahead of it's time, and Virtua Fighter 5 is the only fighting game with true new-gen graphics for now, if you just compare some pictures from previous and upcoming 3D fighting games of this new generation you can easily feel the difference & yes, even graphically Virtua Fighter 5 is better than all of them without doubt, unfortunately other famous fighting games are just focusing on different kinds of story lines while a fighting game should have a strong fighting game play system before anything else and this is one of the reasons that we can call Virtua Fighter a real fighting game, As I said earlier you can easily spend years and years with this game because of it's exciting game play modes, thanks the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 because it is based on the newest Arcade version of this game & this means that even if you don't have someone to play with or even if you can't play it on Xbox LIVE you can still truly enjoy from this game by fighting with it's powerful AI in various game modes. In addition the Xbox 360 has better graphics in terms of lighting & anti-aliasing and as I said earlier this is based of version C which means this is a polished version of VF5 for the PS3 in many areas & of course the Online mode is already enough for calling this version a better one, personally I was about to buy a PS3 just for this game but when I find out that it's coming for the Xbox 360 too I waited a little bit longer(not saying that PS3 version wasn't great...it was great too but I liked to play the newest version but if I get a PS3 be sure that I'll VF5 for that system too,...so this is a great title no matter on which system), As for the controller maybe for doing some complicated moves you should practice harder in the great Dojo mode but don't worry if you haven't enough time to master those moves very fast because HORI has also made a great 360 Arcade Stick especially for this game and this can prove again that how much Virtua Fighter is deep, Musics are also beautiful in this game and for those people who are SEGA & Shenmue fans this game is even more lovely in the field of musics. Although VF5 as a fighting game has already done a it's great job with it's strong fighting system but this game has also more cool things and lovely features, memorable characters, beautiful environments, customization contents & some other new features such as Commentary. Overall Virtua Fighter 5 may become the best fighting game of our century if Virtua Fighter 6 doesn't surpass it so you shouldn't easily miss VF5 if you have a X360. In closing I should say that between Dead Or Alive 4, Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur 4, having one of the is really enough but having Virtua Fighter 5 is a must because it's different in comparing with other fighting games. You may call me a VF fan, but it is not fair because I've always been a fan of all fighting games but all true gamers know that Virtua Fighter is different.

No online lag here (DSL). great fun on or offline. 360 controller isn't that good for this game so if you're serious about competing find an arcade stick. TONS of moves to learn for ea character. Very fun customizing your character as well. playing the computer in the quest mode allows you to see various ways of outfitting your character.

Well, Just got my hands on VF5. I must say, I was not disappointed, but I was also not TOO impressed. I liked the fighting styles and the character models, also, online fights are a HUGE plus, eat your heart out PS3 fans. I would recommend this to the hardcore fans, they will know how to appreciate it more than new comes to the game because they will recognize the work that went into it. Highly Recommended.

This game is pretty much the same game as the PlayStation 3 version except for the online play. I know that it's supposed to be a pro but it never works right. All of my matches have been laggy even though I have a broadband connection and that really ruins the otherwise excellent fighting in this game. So the only new feature doesn't really work that well, if you already have the game don't get it, if you don't then buy at your own risk.
