Pathetic Excuse to call a fighting game

I am so disappointed not only on Virtua Fighter 4, but now even on this piece of waste. The graphics have improved alot, but Tekken 4 still has graphics far beyond better than thos game.
Why does it take time to get off the ground? The game should have fast gameplay to get right off the ground.
It as a mistake to make this game. I think now Virtua Fighter 5 will be even worse because Sega may be running out of ideas. With everything Sega used to make this game, they should have saved for Virtua Fighter 5.

Crap

This game is the worst game I have played in all of my 12 years of gaming. The graphics weren't up to par of either DOA3 or Tekken 4. The time you have to put into this game in order to get REALLY good at it is outrageous, and then you only have one character mastered. The fighting styles are horrible representations of martial arts (coming from a martial artist of 5 years) the worst are the two JKD characters, It descraces the philosophy by making it a style. Some of the moves are just flat out annoying to watch. I suggest either Tekken 4 or DOA 3 (if you have an X-Box) don't waist your money on this, there's a reason it's only selling for 20$.

Why does everyone love this

graphics are above average, but this game didn't grab my attention like gilty gear X2. It seems so normal and the fighting is just awful compared to gilty gear X2. get that instead. I hate fighting games with no weapons and this is no different. After playing it, I wondered why it got such great reviews. It just bad. the fighting seams robotic and slow.

HORRIBLE!!! WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE IT????

GMR magazine: 10/10 "Best fighting game ever made"-Playstation magazine EGM: 10/10, 9/10, 10/10 After seeing those reviews, I thought I HAVE to get this game!!! Boy, do I wish I never thought that. I was absolutely dumbstruck at how bad it was. You kick people with about 5 different moves, and you can push them off the ring for a ring out SO easily. The voicing doesn't make this exciting at all. Quest mode was supposed to be the most highly addicting mode and the most deep mode in any fighting game ever made...It was boring. Kick kick, punch, block, yay I got a new costume. Who cares? I also noticed the average customer rating for this game was 5 stars/5 stars...WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? You can choose from about 12 different people, which are very similar. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!! People may think I'm weird, but hey; I can have my own opinion!!! Buy Soul Calibur 2, a weapon fighter that is the best fighting game ever made. Please, don't waste your money on this.

Games should be fun not frustrating.

The graphics are great, so is the sound. This game has plenty of depth, as a matter of fact too much depth. A game should be fun this game is frustrating (and I've got through quest mode with two of the characters). The level of difficulty for some of the characters in quest mode is orders of magnitude more than it is for others. With previous Virtua Fighter games (pre VF4) I could beat the machine relably after roughly a month of play. I'm not even close here. I will never be close. The game designers have crossed a boundry of difficulty that makes this the least fun of any of the virtua fighter games. Pure Frustration. I prefer the balanced characters of the Tekken series to these unbalanced characters for player vs mode, and I prefer a game that is halfway reasonable to win, this game has unbalanced characters, unreasonable difficuly and super repetitive play. I can see why people new to the game would rate it as highly as they did, but if I want blatant frustration I can go to work.

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.

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!

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.

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.
