Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360 gets a Perfect 10 from 1up

Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360 gets a perfect score from 1up beating the PS3 version not only in terms of slightly better visuals but added game play elements like Online play.

"If you love fighting games and want to play a fighter that continually unveils new wrinkles day in and day out and rewards dedication like no other, this is the game to get. Virtua Fighter 5 may not have kangaroos or weapons or bridges to fall off of, but it has unmatched playability as its calling card, and that's the only thing that counts."

lol why am i not suprised. got a 9.5 on ps3 all it needed was online for perfect

InMyOpinion6027d ago

Yup. But people will say that 1UP are biased. As usual. Are there any gamingsites left that are'nt biased? Could someone make me a list of them? lol!

Twist966026d ago

The article included notes about more polished graphics, storing profiles on the memory card and playing with them on other consoles, more items, armour and acessories, as well as online play.

mark096026d ago

wow why is it that in every positive xbox360 news comment area all you can find is PS3 bashing. amazing

jiggyjay6027d ago (Edited 6027d ago )

Here comes the TRUE next gen Virtual Fighter! Comes with rumble, better graphics and online! Poor Sony Fanboys!

Edit@Leon- Tekken will also be on the 360 mark my words!

LeonSKennedy4Life6027d ago

Um...we have Tekken:Dark Resurrection...which got better reviews, it costs less, has more fighters, and definitely better mechanics. It's online also...without LAG.

BTW...Virtua Fighter 5 is a fighter. Do you know what that means? That means you need a d-pad to play it. Does the 360 even have a d-pad? No...it has that weird, button thingy...

ActionBastard6027d ago

You read how the reviewer said it looked the same as PS3, right?

BloodySinner6027d ago

Yeah, Tekken also happens to be on your PSP & PlayStation 2.

Omegasyde6027d ago

The more time that is put into a game for development the better. Kudo's to new the new virtua fighter 5 owners on the 360, this game is great on both consoles but even better with the online. A must buy since its online for 360 owners and is definitely better than dead or alive.

I would hope a game would be better after 9 months of development for the 360. Online is a def + but it is funny how 1up is the only site saying that the graphics are better on this build (360) where other sites have stated the opposite. We all know 1up loyalty is for (360up!)

So will "virtua fighter 6" be a multi platform release now? Hmmm. if this game proves successful Tekken 6 may go to the 360 after all.

Skerj6027d ago (Edited 6027d ago )

But Tekken is only online on the PS3 version.

LeonSKennedy4Life6027d ago (Edited 6027d ago )

It's online on the PSP version too.

The point here is a 20 dollar PSP/PS3 game is better than a full-fledged 50-60 dollar 360 game. Get my point?

Seriously...play them side-by-side. Tekken just destroys this game.

EDIT: No...I'm really not. I didn't get it because fighters shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks. They're not worth it. According to reviews...Tekken's better. I'm not mad about no online play either. I could care less about online play in a fighter. I have Tekken also. What's your point here, dude? Do you not get that Tekken is just the better/cheaper game?

EDIT 2: Skerj...it is online though. The system says ad-hoc only...but you can actually use the network.

BloodySinner6027d ago

The fighting engine in VF5 is more advanced that anything out to date. You're just mad that the PS3 version of the title does not support online play. So you go through the trouble of calling Tekken the best thing ever. =/

Skerj6027d ago

The PSP version isn't online unless you're talking about the Xlink workaround or you mean the Ghost downloads.

Omegasyde6027d ago

Virtual fighter got better reviews and believe it or not it is a better game. The 360 has a real winner with this game being online for the 360 and beats the ps3 just because of that.

The only way you can compare virtual fighter 5 and tekken 5 is Value.

In that care Tekken 5 wins and that is a no brainer. $30>$60

mesh16027d ago

TO OMEGA SYDE if ur only saying 1 site is sayingits better than the ps3 vf5 which stated by well knowngame site unlike when ps3fandriods sayt the cod4 version is better stated by an unknown site while we all know cod4 o 360 is better also.

Play B3yond6026d ago (Edited 6026d ago )

Lmao you wish tekken was for the 360 but srry thats just another great exclusive for the 1 and only PS3.
Btw...this article has my picture lol

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911065d ago (Edited 1065d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1065d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661064d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691065d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1065d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1065d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021065d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1065d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021065d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

darthv721511d ago

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1871511d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1511d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1871511d ago (Edited 1511d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor1511d ago (Edited 1511d ago )

I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool

Silly gameAr1511d ago

Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.

BlackTar1871511d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver1511d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

Ask Sega. All of Yu's games haven't gotten updates. And they aren't helping to bring Shenmue 3 to console and PC. Spent most of their time on Sonic and Yakuza. Like they forgot the man that got them started. He was the "Miyamoto of Sega." Too many hits under hits belt.

VF is one of the best if not the best, technical fighters around based on real fighting styles. No supers, no finishers,etc. I wish there wasn't any juggling. It was fun as a videogame mechanic but I would like full realism for a fighting game. It's like adding nos to Gran Turismo. Would be fun. Just doesn't fit the realism Kaz wants in his game of winning through skill and perseverance.

I'm hoping for a new Sega surge of games in and out of VR and more respect for Yu and his properties. It's just not the same Sega I grew up with though.

As a side thing, Sega could have even updated Last Bronx to a modern fighter like Namco did with Soul Blade to Soul Calibur.

But they've sat on that too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1747d ago

I 100% agree with what you said about VF. As someone who use to play VF5 at a high level I want nothing more than VF6 however, I’m scared to see what would happen to VF in this day and age of super meters, rage bars and 100 hit combos.

SierraGuy1747d ago

Exactly...I love Tekken but I love VF a little bit more.

tulholdren1747d ago (Edited 1747d ago )

Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.

PhoenixUp1747d ago

What happened to a lot of Sega’s classic franchises?
