This game [is smelly]! Of course the magazines hyped it up! And it ain't nuttin' but hype! Pure Hype! Hypenomics! The gameplay has a lazy feel to it. The colors aren't visually fit for anything.
Ugly! Please I bought this game and had to suffer as the game magazines hyped me up to the extent of buying. I felt dejected and disappointed as this game has nothin' to offer....

Nothing new here

It seems the only purpose this game was created for was so the company could make more money. There is absolutely nothing new with this game. It's pretty much of the same old thing, and this game gets boring rather quick. Just skip this one, there is always hope for Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, that game looks sweet!

Virtual Who?..........

I amdit, I am new to the Virtual Fighter series and after playing
VF4 I don't see what the big hype is about this game. First of all, I played Sarah Bryant and I creamed everyone in the arcade mode with a simple punch combo. The fighters are almost predictable and the moves were almost similar. The last level boss of the arcade mode looks like a liquid terminator with breast and the sad thing is you only get one crack at this dude.
Now I played alot of fighting games and this guy isn't hard as M. Bison for Street Fighter, or True Ogre from Tekken, or Tengu from Dead or Alive.
You would think after fighting your way through 12 fighters you
would get more than one shot at the last boss to at least get a feel about what this guy is all about...

i HATE this game!

there is absolutely no story line! there is only one secret character to unlock!this game doesn't even go par with Tekken 4(great game Tekken 4 is!)you are trapped in a little box or your on a little spuare where you always get ring-out.you get to get items to put on your character but,that makes them look ugly.

So Boring,Its more painful than the fighting.

No wonder wwhy this game went to greatest hits so quick.Their are no story lines, confusing moves,and it is practically impossible to beat the game on Kumity mode. If you like fighting games, Get Tekken Games.

worst fighting game for ps2

This game is sooooo boring! The kumite mode goes on forever and you don't get anything! The characters are okay and so are the arenas, but they could be a lot better.

Trust me, wait for Soul Calibur 2

I have a Dreamcast with Soul Calibur and was hoping VF4 would hold me over till Soul Calibur 2. Big disappointment. I guess it's an okay fighter (not a huge fighter fan), but compared to Soul Calibur it's:
1) Too slow
2) Not very flashy. The graphics aren't quite as smooth as the ones on the Dreamcast.
3) Less intuitive.

I was expecting more based on all the reviews I read. VF4 just doesn't cut the mustard. For instance, the characters take up the whole freaking screen. Leaves less room to manuever around leg attacks.

On the plus side, the AI mode is cool. Making your own fighter would be a great add on for Soul Calibur.

I wish I had waited for Soul Calibur II.

Wow...Not Living Up to the Hype :(

Ok, so I recently sold my XBOX and all my games (including Dead or Alive 3) and then bought a PS2. So far, I've been completely satisfied...well that is until Virtua Fighter 4...

I've been a fan of 3D fighting games since the original Virtua Fighter in the arcade. Since then many games have come out expanding the original concept of 3D fighting. Tekken was a major breakthough along with Soul Blade coming out around the same time. This is what is most frustrating about VF4...it has the same general features and gameplay of the original VF, which now very boring. The only new concept it introduces in fact (well knew to VF series at least) is that of new fighting style adjustments and counters. Unfortunately these features are very poorly implemented in comparison to Dead or Alive 3, which had extremely smooth transition animations with its counter moves.

The moves in VF4 are also sub-par. They remind me of the original Mortal Kombat for Super Nintendo...slow, poorly animated, and very unsatisfying to pull off. The physics model doesn't help the situation, either. Similar to DOA3 and most 3D fighting games, you can perform terribly unrealistic moves in which your fighter defies gravity, but unlike those other games, VF4 lack of smooth and quick animations add to the feeling that you're fighting in slow motion in a cheesy martial arts movie made in America.

Graphically, the environments are very complex, but the graphics are just NOT GOOD. The polygon count is very low and the textures are bad. Combine that with a fairly low-resolution(because PS2 isn't nearly as good as Gamecube or XBOX)and you get something that looks like it should be played on a Sega Saturn or a PSOne.

There are some bright spots, however. The sound in game is extremely good, there are plenty of options and cool modes (like training an AI to play a certain way and then watching them fight...like coaching mode in football games).

All in all, I give this a game a "D" for minimal effort. The only thing that keeps it from gettin' an "F" is the few bright spots that should appear in future titles.
