In all fairness, that last review is an exact, word for word copy from the one on Gamespot.com. On the other hand, it is an accurate description of the game. If you are adept at fighting games in general and pick up quickly on the myriad combos and special moves, this one allows for pretty in-depth strategy. If, like me, you are basically atrocious at this type of game, it teaches you virtually everything you'd ever want to know to become a decent player. It contains a huge training portion that will force you to perform hundreds upon hundreds of dodges, throws, counterattacks, etc. so that you aren't embarrassed when challenged to a brawl by someone half your age.

Generation defining "game"

If you want THE fighting game, you've come to the right place. Sega-AM2's Virtua Fighter series has always been one to disgust the masher, but reward the dedicated strategist. Deep is an understatement. Counters, reversals, sabutai's, inashi's, throw escapes, ect., this game has a lot going on. Due to this nature, it can scare people off, but you don't have to be THAT good to have tons of fun with this game. I know I'm not, but to me this is the best fighting game ever, and the best game on the PS2. Period.

Graphics-Not awesome, but better rounded than in the original VF4. Jaggies are reduced, though not entirely gone (big deal). 9/10
Sound-Sound effects are solid, background music is better (I find Lei-Fei's stage kind of catchy myself). 9/10
Gameplay- To much to describe besides it being the best. Quest mode is awesome too. 10/10
Presentation-Great in that all characters have drastically different fighting styles, timing, and are all real martial art styles (from relatively mainstream to obsure). 10/10

Overall- 10/10
At $20 this is a no brainer. Search for professional reviews (IGN, Gamespot) if you need more convincing!

Not much new, but very fun...

I can beat almost any of my friends in ALL of the V. Fighter games. Anyways, the two new fighters, Ghu or Gho...whatever(he uses Judo) and Brad(uses an altered form of American Kickboxing) are really good, and the scars and silver earring on Gho...or ghu...make him look even tougher. My advice; If you want a good fighting game, and you can't decide between the newest Mortal Kombat game, V. Fighter 4, or V. Fighter 4 E. Get V. F. 4 Evolution. I say this because the M. Kombat games are cheesy and V fighter is just an un-altered version of VF4Evolution.

Virtua Fighter INDEED!!!

Lets get the dont likes out of the way. The New Announcer for the K.O and Excellent are not as impactful as its predessessor.
However everything else has got me by the short and curlys.
The Training Sessions feels like I am "grasshopper" as the user friendly instructions let you know what mistakes you are making that result in the constant ass wooping you may receive. Navigation seems a whole lot easier this time around and the selections and things to learn seem endless. My faith in Fighting games has been restored thanks to the folks at SEGA. The edit and shopping mall is an excellent touch and the "advise" lets you know exactly where your weaknesses are in the Stats.
The Quest mode has blown my mind...just go train first , its endless fun ,excitement disappointement , frustration and ultimately when you have kicked and posed your way through them all (Lei Fei) You reign supreme champion.
All that is needed is some cool movie endings when you win these tournaments.

an awesome fighting game!!!!
