The Virtua Fighter series has always had a dear place in my heart and the fifth one looks amazing. The game sure has changed ever since I first saw it at a local arcade. The simple polygonal fighters looked incredible at the time. Just check out the screenshots below to see the next generation fighter.
Virtua Fighter 5
This new installment in the critically-acclaimed Virtua Fighter series packs a serious punch fueled by the power of the PlayStation®3. Virtua Fighter 5 will have an all-star cast of 17 fighters, including characters from the previous iterations along with two new characters named El Blaze and Eileen. El Blaze is a Mexican fighting champion that defeats unsuspecting opponents with his lightning-quick Lucha Libre fighting style and Eileen uses a Monkey Kung Fu fighting style which she learned from her grandfather, a former Kung-Fu master. Choose from an array of costumes and attachable items and then step into the ring and prove that you're the best.* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company.
About Author
I've been reviewing products since 1997 and started out at Gaming Nexus. As one of the original writers, I was tapped to do action games and hardware. Nowadays, I work with a great group of folks on here to bring to you news and reviews on all things PC and consoles.
As for what I enjoy, I love action and survival games. I'm more of a PC gamer now than I used to be, but still enjoy the occasional console fair. Lately, I've been really playing a ton of retro games after building an arcade cabinet for myself and the kids. There's some old games I love to revisit and the cabinet really does a great job at bringing back that nostalgic feeling of going to the arcade.
