Virtua Fighter 4 for PlayStation 2

Pros: Kumite Mode, Replay value, Ranking system
Cons: Jagged Lines in graphics, certain button configurations uncomfortable

Virtua Fighter has not had any respect for quite some time. Although VF1 revolutionized 3-D polygon fighting action, you mostly had to play it at the arcade to truly get the proper experience. VF2 used some of the similar concepts as the first one, but...

Pros: it's SEGA, awesome fighting system, awesome everything
Cons: some may be turned away by it's tough battle system

After originally having SEGA’s latest game in the Virtua Fighter series, Virtua Fighter 4 on pre-order at Best Buy, and then not having the rest of the money to get it... I decided to scrounge up some quarters, nickels, and dimes to get it...

Pros: Some of the levels are stunning.
Cons: Characters are the worst I've seen in a long time, a 'tweener.

I'd heard a lot of good things about Virtua Fighter 4 from various sources around the net, and I'd been waiting for a good fighting game for a while. They seem to hold more replay value than most, and while I had never gotten into a VF game before (Not...

Pros: Tutorial
Presentation
Character Customization
Cons: Very Deep Fighting System
Can only explore small portion of stages
Canine Training Mode

I've been a long running fan of the Virtua Fighter series. I've enjoyed the stream lined fighting system over Tekken and other titles since 1993. Virtua Fighter 4 is certainly a step in the right direction for SEGA's AM2 division. Unlike other ...

Pros: Deep gameplay, much variety in fighting styles, incredible graphics and sound
Cons: Limited play modes, difficulty

Finally... Virtua Fighter has come to the Playstation 2!

The Virtua Fighter series has always emphasized technique and skill versus obscene 10+ hit combos while pushing the envelope on graphical and audio presentation. And for fighting...

Pros: Deep fighting system.
Cons: Sound.

If you’re like me, then you’ve probably seen Sega’s Virtua Fighter series develop from its first incarnation as blocky polygon, 3-D fighter to a fluid and beautiful arcade masterpiece. More recent fans of the series are no doubt discovering its charms as...

Pros: Just about everything. This series is truly known for it's in-depth fighting.
Cons: None thus far

I can play this game for 45 minutes straight. And considering my attention span is extremely short, (I write reviews in little parts!) this is pretty darn good. The main reason I believe it keeps my attention is because it does have such an in depth...

Pros: controls are responsive, graphics are brilliant, Kumite mode is entertaining and rewarding.
Cons: Not as good as Soul Calibur 2.

I was toying with the notion of writing a rather scathing and disappointing review of Tekken 4, or a glad, upbeat one of Virtua Fighter 4. In these times of economic, and emotional woe, reasons to smile wouldn't go amiss. Where shall I start? This ...

Pros: Great graphics, in-depth fighting system.
Cons: Major jaggies, perhaps a bit too intimidating.

Intro:
Once upon a time there was a little fighting game that changed the genre forever. It debuted on Sega’s Model I Arcade Board and proceeded to blow everyone’s minds away. It was the first fighting game to be based on real martial arts styles...

Pros: Gameplay, graphics.
Cons: Extremely demanding.

Alright, let's start with the basics:

Storyline: Well, there's this tournament you see, and this guy needs to.. oh nevermind.. there's 13 fighters (11 from the previous games in the series, plus 2 new ones), pick one and beat up everyone else....

Pros: Good graphics
Cons: limited fighters, repetivitve audio, only 2 players

My 15 year old cousin was spending the night (I'm 25 by the way), so I rented Virtua Fighter 4 on PS2 this weekend. It is a fairly new release and so we gave it a try.

From previous experience, we check to see if the game is produced on a...

Pros: Mindblowing Graphics; Well-Balanced Fighters; Ridiculously Addictive!
Cons: The Jaggies have come back...

The Virtua Fighter series has gone from nothing to something in about 9 years, but finally, it is here in its greatest form ever. Enhanced graphics, addictive gameplay, and the most options and modes ever in a fighting game makes this one the best of the...

Pros: One of the greatest fighting engines ever
Cons: Still looks like a Dream Cast game

Note the title and I don't mean it to seem bad at all. Fighter delivers a mixed engine of being a fighter and a role playing game at the same time. Allowing you to unlock items for your characters as they climb the fighting ladder. It makes a lot of...

Pros: PAL 60Hz Option. Tons of replayability. Deep gameplay. Heaps of modes/options.
Cons: Aliasing (Jaggies).

Noteworthy Features:
- Train your own fighters using the AI Data.
- Kumite Mode, where you fight wave after wave to earn
ranks and special items.

Graphics:
Graphics are very good (though not on par with DOA 3)and...

Pros: Good Fighting simulations, good character modeling, Very Challenging
Cons: Very Challenging, unfair matches at times

This game is all in all very good. While at times you do want to quit, it is still fun. I will get to my reasons why you'd want to quit soon.

First, the gameplay. There's not much to say about this. Unless you can train yourself extremely...
