Wow, good scores. I'm pleased.

 

Awesome. I like the sound of that ranking system...

 

what do you expect VF5 always gets good ratings, as does Tekken and Soul Caliber. But VF is my favorite of the 3

 

An overview of all ratings can be found at Metacritic here:

Those include biased sites such as 360 magazine and so on.. be dumb of them not to give a good review.

 

Sorry to say that but the official Xbox magazine is not biased. They are independent from Microsoft and bashing bad Xbox titles, and failures of Microsoft all day in their magazine and their fabulous Official Xbox Magazine Podcast.

 

And the PS3 versions metacritic included single format Playstation media.
So whats your point again?

 

Just rather have Reviews that are not tied to particular consoles up. Didn't mean to start a debate but guess I should have known better.

I've come to find that every virtua fighter review says the exact same thing. They warn you that there is a deep learning curve, but enough easy stuff that anyone can pick up and have a fun match. And you can't read a review without reading that, "You get what you put into it," phrase. I'm still pretty excited about picking this game up tomorrow though.

 

I really wonder why Gamespot & Co. haven't already reviewed VF5. They must have gotten a pre-release version for reviewing purposes beforehand, actually. And even if they hadn't gotten one, it's about time for them to review this masterly done porting of Virtua Fighter 5 (Live) to the 360.

From the IGN review.......

"The VF series is not for casual gamers who want something that's easy to pick up and play; VF is for those willing to dedicate themselves to learning the fighting system."

What the hell..........

Way to go IGN. Let's turn off more people who play videogames to the VF series.

 

The IGN reviews are usualy fair to middling at best. While I enjoy the high score they gave the game, to Myke's point, many of the statements made didnt make a whole lot of sense and were clearly stated by somebody who obviously hasn't spent a fair amount of time with the series outside of his review copy of VF5. Having fond memories of walking into an arcade when VF1 came out playing what everybody called the "robot fighting game", to sitting down with my brand new Saturn in May of 95 with VF1 in my face until 2 came out later that year, etc, etc...I think I'm just old and jaded /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif I suppose its a good thing that VF never ceases to amaze me with every iteration.

 

I hope that was a typo, but something tells me it wasn't. Games that are less skill and more time investment remind me of MMOs.

I think she meant from a "Quest Mode" perspective.

Actually Hilary Goldstein is a "he". >.<

 

Yeah, from watching my 7 year old daughter having a blast playing Pai in Quest Mode, I have to agree that's off base. I don't think Hilary is intensionally trying to turn people off though, it's simply an unfortunate turn of phrase from a hardcore fan (which he obviously is) trying to emphasize how deep the game is.
