EGM Scores VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 as 9.5/10
34
EGM has awarded Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3 the prestigious honour of game of the month, scoring an insanely high overall Mark of 9.5. Looks like Crackdown has some strong competition on its hands. Interestingly, this is the HIGHEST score EGM has awarded over the past six months.

1 - WOW 9.5 from EGM
That game must be laced with crack or something, EGM is a tough magazine. I like the magazine because its fair and actually cuts into the meat and potatos of a game. Gears of War, while a great game for its genre is nothing revolutionary. Its basically Killswitch with updated graphics, the story doesn't really evolve nor does the characters have any real depth to them. Based on that I can't believe that some magazines scored it 10s and 9s for just looks alone. I'm not saying that its not fun, but ratings should reflect more than just graphics. Cliffy B did revitalize the genre with his creation, I just like a little more meat with my potatos.
I like the virtua Fighter series, real die hard fight fans will eat you alive. I have to say this is the most indepth fighting game ever made and it only uses three buttons. Button mashers have no chance against a seasoned pro and timing is everything. I can't wait to check this out hopefully it will be up for download on the PSN.

2 - Finally
A game on the PS3 actually broke 89% on gamerankings.com score (Resistance). It's about time! Can't wait to play it on 360. :P
http://www.gamerankings.com...
However, it's an average based on only 2 reviews. This game could easily drop dramatically as more review come in. Or it could increase.

HOLY SHIZ-NIT SON.. Your mad smart yo. Like for reals .(Just busting your ballz)lol. Anyways lets see system launch Nov. 2006. Date of "Finally"- Feb. 2007
Xbox360
System Launch Nov. 2005
Finally(as you put it) Came around March 2006
It would appear that PS3 is right on target if not slightly ahead of the game. More ooooo's and aaaaaaa's to come. Stay tuned kiddies.
Im a little shocked though. I wasnt even lookin out for this game. Bring on the Tekken 6 baby. But this will be a nice AAA fighter to hold me down and by the time they port it I should be rocking Tekken 6 by then. Timing is everything. lol

8 - now all the fanboys can sit in a corner about games
NEEDING ONLINE.online is a great additional feature.but it doesn't make or break a great playing game.vf series is the best,and those who play it know it comes closer than any other fighter in its take on martial arts.an expert with his prefered fighting style would destroy any noob that plays them.
this is a first of many good reviews from fans of fighters.notice i said"fans of fighters" who review.

10 - Competing with Crackdown?
I don't really see how VF 5 will compete with Crackdown. They're two pretty different genres, and both are exclusive to their respective consoles at the moment. That said, VF 5 does look great.

no online competative support for either version. I believe they have said that the precision sega wants for this game won't allow for stable enough online fighting.

13 - Continue to check out www.gamerankings.com to see if this review holds up any credibility (with respect to its deviation from the average score obtained from all credible reviewers)
I would never give a fighting game with no online component a score higher than 9 / 10 and I know for a fact that there are many reviewers that feel the same way, in a post-Xbox Live / next-generation environment.
For example: if this game were to be reviewed (in the exact same form as it exists now) on the 360 - it would never obtain an average score of 9.5 / 10 because Xbox Live has increased the bar and become a standard, such that any omission (to the contrary) is simply unacceptable!
If this game has been improved for the Xbox 360 (which by all measurable standards; it should be) …then, and only then, will I consider purchasing this game!

Looks like a nice game, PS3 owners congratulations. I'll be glad to play it on my 360 also
But what about this with the PS3 version??
"So, what's the deal, then, Sega? Why are we only getting 720p support?"
No native 1080p AGAIN? What's happening guys

"Looks like a nice game, PS3 owners congratulations. "
Yes and I am the one who posted the article that "TheMart" finally gave a positive response too. I knew it was in your heart somewhere bud. I apoligize for calling you "TheGrinch" of N4G. Somewhere inside all that hate,anger and utter disgust for Sony you still have your little X,Trianles,Circles and Squares floating around. Tryin to survive. Its inside us all dont fight it..ahahaha
But anyways guys to clear something up. I'll deliver the link I cant find it right now in my 1million book marked internet pages but I believe at the moment there is no intention for online with this game according to Sega. However it will more likely be live enabled for achievements as everything on Xbox pretty much is. But don't get your hopes bent on knuckling up via XBL. there is currently no plans for it whatsoever. Could you believe it. XBOX actually getting just a direct port. "Blasphemy Blasphemy I say. lol

You're just not seeing it. I gave props to Resistance and Motorstorm way before they were released for looking the best games on the PS3 when it came out.
I see I was about right, those are the two games that are good.
Don't mistake yourself. I am just very, very critical on the stuff that's overpromissed and underdelivered by Sony.
One more positive thing about the Playstation. Everyone need to go out and buy a PS2 with a copy of God of War. It's worth it. For 100 bucks you can get a PS2. And I hope they fixed the sh!tty DVD drives. The PS2 combined with a 360 gives you the best of both worlds. Because Virtua Fighter 5 will be on 360 also, might it be in 1080p ? for sure it has online features the PS3 version lacks...
Which is funny if you look at it. The PS3 first got pwned by the PS2 in sales. And now the PS3 gets pwned by the PS2 in it's games... I dare to say God of War on PS2 is better then anything on the PS3 out and yet to come in the coming months. Ain't that a bold statement there?!

Virtua Fighter is thee best tactical fighter around. This game is the only reason why I was going to invest in the ps3. Thankfully, Sega made the smart move on releasing it on both systems. I know the developer said no online for virtual fighter but I'm hoping Microsoft has something to say about that.

17.1 - It doesn't matter what MS says they want,
if Sega has said that they cannot get environments stable enough to allow for precise online play, then there will be no online play.I don't know what would cause more of a backlash, no online play or online play that really doesn't work?

It looks like a great game, but...9.5???...from stingy EGM???
I haven't read the review yet, but I can't help but be cynical about the rating.
From what I recall, the game doesn't even have online play.
Another fantastic website for grouped-up reviews (on all kinds of media) is:

Sounds good. But PS2 cannot PWN PS3. That doesnt make any sense. Clark Kent cannot PWN SuperMan ....Bruce Wayne Cannot PWN Batman. PS2 is a sales device for Sony. I know for a fact if XBOX was still around and holding sucessful Microsoft would be very happy with it. I think people like you and a few others try to spin PS2's success on the negative side. Just be honest PS2 is pwning the "NEXT GEN MARKET" in general. God of War 2 will not only pwn anything upcoming on the PS3 but it will also PWN anything on the 360 and Wii as well. So dont get it all mixed up there chap. The only thing thats gunna be able to end the PS2's Iron Fist rule is the PS3. One day PS3 is going to just have to step up and take on Big brother PS2. Those a pretty big shoes to fill. Talking about a console that outsold each of its competitors by 3:1. Forced them into early retirement. Listen I dont know how people can knock that. The PS2 is one tuff mofo. And that only brightens and hieghtens the expectations for the PS3 in the future. As for now Big bro PS2 is still breaking records and Pwning the competition. PS3 is not the competition its just the successor.
Come on bro you cant honestly be saying Sony is stupid because the PS2 is over successful. Just listen to how dumb that sounds.
Thats like saying Xbox360 is screwed because nothing will surpass Gears of War for a long time. Muahahahahahaha

26 - Maybe its just me.....
but I'm not excited about VF5 for the PS3 or 360, why becuase the last one wasn't that great IMO -but its possible that I just didn't give it a chance, I only played it a few times....not bad, but not great. I mean come on, when will we get a fighter that surpasses the fun and excitement of Soul Calibur released on the Dreamcast. -yeah, fighters have gotten prettier but THAT game was sick....yeah it was simple to play but hard to master...if you "mashed" buttons you would hear the laughter as you suffered a brutal defeat, if you tried a little you might win a few, but if you knew what the hell you were doing you could always snatch the SOUL from the un-prepared.
I haven't played any fighters much lately, but as you can tell I loved Soul Calibur....I'm thinking of "Fighting" again, I played a friends DOA recently on the 360, I thought it was good but still not great....so please what Fighter do you guys think is as good or better than good old SC. -just curious, anybody?

virtua fighter:evolution was great.virtua fighter 4 was good,but when you played the computer,the computer was overly defensive.still great for 1 on 1 with friends.evolution had AI that came at you on the hard setting.it sound like that would be the case with any hard setting,but this game(still got it)would take it to you.but you're right i still love soul calibur on my dreamcast.such a well made game.i love tekken,but i think the team should really look at what made soul calibur 1 so great.or just remake tekken 3.
oh,the one thing i miss(sold vf4)was the AI system.training an AI fighter that mimicked your style was eerie.i trained a pai chan character and she couldn't understand how to do a combo, flip over someone and then do a lower sweep move from behind.but a couple of videos i made her watch(crazy)and training with her got her to do it.that was crazy i put her in fights and it's like watching your kid become a black belt and move through dans.as i said eerie.
people, vf5 does not have to be online to be considered good.does god of war 2 need to be online?does ninja gaiden 2 have to be online for 360?come on people.it's the funfactor.everything else is gravy.

27.1 - Thanks.....
yeah I think it's even more obvious to me that I didn't give VF4 a chance because I didn't even know about the AI training system....I'm cautious if it works well or not for a game like this but it does sound cool. Well if the reviews hold up....(usually IGN is pretty close to my thinking) I will pick this game up for the 360....I could rent it first but honestly I like to buy and play my games from the start....I haven't rented a game in years.
