Virtua Fighter 5 Review

Virtua Fighter 5 is yet another video game based in the fighting genre, but this game is different from Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. The game is available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In terms of the storyline, the game is about the Fifth World Fighting Tournament. There is something about a perverse organization known as J6 and their malicious intentions. A woman named Vanessa is taken hostage by J6. Vanessa is rescued by someone, and J6 intends to find out who set her free. As a result, the Fifth World Fighting Tournament ensues. I must admit the plot in the game is convoluted. Fighting games have a propensity to bypass the storyline, and this game is no exception to that rule. Virtua Fighter is the premier fighting franchise that is currently on the market. The game has so much more depth that games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter just do not seem to offer. With that said, Virtua Fighter 5 is not any ordinary fighting game. The gameplay has a comprehensive designed fighting system that works well. I thought this game has the most superlative fighting schemes ever assembled. The gameplay makes the fighting seem challenging but not to the point where it is cumbersome. Virtua Fighter 5 has a fighting mechanic that does require some time to master; furthermore, gamers are not going to learn everything in one day. There is an arcade mode that can be easily completed in a short amount of time; however, the arcade mode is not the true bulk of the game.
