Virtua Fighter 5 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I don't recommend this game through Gamefly. It's almost imperative that you have a good, solid guide while playing, if nothing more than the instruction booklet. The learning curve is ridiculous. Every character has what seems like a thousand moves. While this sounds cool at first, they are all titled in Japanese. This makes it impossible to associate any moves with their names and the buttons used to execute them. Add this to the fact that there are 2 face buttons used for punch, one for kick and one for block, and you'll find yourself button mashing more than desired. The characters are all cool, but there are NO storylines. Add this to the inexcusable lack of online play, and you're left with a game that is confusing, frustrating, and utterly forgettable.
