Great Fighting Game

This game is probably the best fighting game for the old systems (xbox and ps2). It's easily accessible to the beginner, but has so much depth that you can play it for months and still learn new things. Virtua-Fighter 5 will probably take it's place as best fighting game when it comes out on the xbox 360 (the ps3 version is not-so-good), but until then this game reigns supreme in my mind.

A Classic Remade

Every effect is brilliant, every hit is lightning fast and realistic, and all the physics are strong. If you like button mashing, this game is not for you, but if you're a dedicated fight sim gamer, this is a must for your library. If you're getting this game, make sure you get the "Evolution" version. It has the two estra characters that make the game.

Great Game, AWESOME Multiplayer

Great fighting game! This is one where you can get together with friends and own the snot out of each other. If you have even a remote interest in console fighting games, this is one your going to love.

I must say this game is great but I have a question. Why in the training mode they show how to perform the moves of a character like they are using a joystick,but you cant use the R3 AND L3 buttons in actual arcade or any battle? In the arcade or quest mode the R3 and L3 are totally useless, I understand that its really only three button to perform a combo but trying to perform a combo using the directional pad its really annoying in my opinion.Thats the only problem I have with Virtua Fighter 4 Evolutoin.

You can play dress up, as you would with Barbie dolls

This game is very addictive because it offers hundreds of ways to customize each character. You are able to change the color of the clothing, and add accessories. Accessories such as gold chains, sunglasses, boxing gloves, etc. You can even add new hairstyles. Like giving Jeffery a funny looking fuzzy afro, or giving Sarah long (goldie-locks) curly hair.

You can change the screen names too. Whatever you choose to type in, will appear at the top of the screen. Like typing in "King of Pimps" for a male character, or typing in "Sexy Lips" for a female characters.

The game's new Quest mode is a great diversion from Arcade mode. When you don't feel like playing 7 matches which always lead up to the boss fight, you can enter Quest mode instead. In Quest, you will have to meet certain requirements in order to earn points (money) which you'll need to buy the customizations.

Lastly, even the Training mode for this game is addictive! You can practice specific moves, in specific combat situations. There is even a slow motion option which helps you to perfect some of the more cumbersome combos. Although slow motion is NOT selectable for the other modes (Quest and Arcade), it looks extremely cool to beat up the training character in slow motion.

I thought this would be better than Virtua Fighter 4...

I thought VF4: Evolution would be better than the normal VF4, but I was wrong. There's only better graphics, more arenas, and annoying guitar music along with a new mode. The game's addictive at first, but then I wondered why I was wasting my time on it because I ended up dragging myself through playing it. VF4: Evolution does not have a single bit of my recommendation.

Better than Tekken 4 - Same Graphics as Tekken 5, almost

Tekken 4 is not a very good Tekken game. Tekken Tag beats it. Evolution beats standard VF4. Evolution is what you should own instead of Tekken 4. Why? Well the graphics are nearly as good as Tekken 5 and that was 2 years ago, so VF5 will probably be awesome to look at. Tekken 5 has more characters though but look at the price... it is twice the cost of this one that has less characters.

Fun at first...annoying later!

I liked this game at first, but as you get further the opponents become just impossible to beat. The opponents always do alot of guarding that you hardly land a hit. It's also difficult to get rewards. I mean, you do a lot of fighting, you smash your controller til you break it, then if you win you don't get enough to buy the ridiculously expensive items. This game has good graphics though. Fun only if you play against a friend, otherwise it's just torture. Don't spend more than $5 for this game!

PS2: there is Tekken, Soul Calibur 2 and Virtua Fighter...

...and you really can't compare them. Tekken has much more developed characters considering both personality and moves than other two and Soul Calibur is 3D oriented, not side stepping 2D game which Tekken 4 and VF 4 are.

Imagine Tekken 4 done in Soul Calibur speed and with simpler combos and no tenstrings. That is VF4 EVO: it has speed of Soul Calibur, simple combos and complicated heavy attacks and it has quest mode, too. Some fighters are Tekken lookalikes and there is sidestepping, but unfortunately there is only one sidestep attack, G+P+K.

The thing I like about game is quest mode which gives you different tasks, but when you reach arcade no. 3 or 4, can't remember, tasks become too long. There are lotsa combos, but you have to know BOTH your character in deep and CPU character in arcade mode to win. Game is quicker than, say, Tekken 3 so countering moves is complicated. Heavy attack grapples and strikes require lightning fast fingers and some characters are just too slow in that department...and yeah, Akira's doble flying kick takes out anyone...or I am too old for this :)

Buy! 20 dollars is nothing considering satisfaction game gives you!

why did I buy this?

Well, its as the title says. VF4 EVO. IF you already have VF4(as I do) there is hardly any differance. They added a quest and 2 charaters. So, if you don't already have VF4, this is a good buy for you. Its not realy worth the extra $20, if you already have VF4.
