    Review :: Virtua Fighter 5 – PS3

    In amongst all that frantic button pounding and, in my case, extremely frequent swearing, is a fighting game so finely tuned that if it were an engine, it’d purr. If it were a girl it’d be Kiera Knightley desperate for some horizontal jogging.

    Yep, this our review of Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3.

    Look's a good game but it's not making me think to go out and purchase a PS3 anytime soon.

    She just doesn't know what she's missing...

    But you're right, I need to find a new bird... I did think of Chun Li but thought that might be inappropriate for a Virtua Fighter review.

    About the bit with the rumble pad.. I think its a valid sort of option for casual players..

    I think VF should have left an OPTION for the dual shock to be left on..

    However, I would stress that when ur anywhere near wanting to master such a complex game as the VF series, rumble is the last thing u would really use.. the whole thing messes all ur timing up..

    This game is best played with a joystick system.. just like the Tekken series..

    Get 2 joysticks, get some VF friendly pals along.. instant fun..

    My XPS 16 = fail

    Good that it RATs into my lab's 1024 node cluster..

    But the PS3 has NO rumble option... the six-axis doesn't have it... which was my point. It was a criticism of the PS3 not the game.

    fair play mate.. its a very good game built on a pretty ****ty controller..

    Still anyone considering VF5 should DEFINITELY infest in a proper HORI stick..

    Looks good, but never really seen the other VF games, but while I will accept it might be the screen shots, the gfx didnt seem that impressive to me esp when you compare them to DoA4.

    personally

    im looking forward for the xbox 360 version of this game.
    it will be interesting to see how a game ports from the other direction ( PS3 > x360 ) and also i have a 360 which makes it oh so more relevent
