"Anyone got Virtua Fighter 4 yet?"

I've had this on claim for a while now and my excitement has sky-rocketed in the last few days. I was hoping to recieve it Friday but didn't, and then this morning I was disappointed again.

But my brother got Wave Race through the post this morning so it's not all bad.

Anyway, since I won;t have it till Monday at the very earlist now, I want you (if you own or have played the game) to wet my appetite.

Basically praise the game.

Well a good question first would probably be has anyone actually played it?

Nope I never received my copy on Friday, got an email from SR Towers saying it was posted on the 10th.....doh!

Oh well, roll on Monday evening when I get home :D

I should be giving VF4 a play next sunday.

Soul Calibur was never just a button basher. Sure you could play it just bashing all the buttons, but if you were a good player and knew the moves, then a newcomer could never beat you by just hitting the buttons.

I'd like to point out that I was unbeatable with Maxi! And I'm also just as talented with nunchuks in real life, as he is in the game. :-D

ive watched my mate play it and it looks great

I think this game looks good especially the fact that you can create your own character then go through the Arcade mode with him/her doubt i'm saving up for a Mini Disc Player.

VF4 blows anything else out of the water.

Tekken 4 may be good (and it is, i've played the import), but at the end of the day, it's just a fancy looking button masher. Granted, Christie is absolutely gorgeous, and if I was in the game, we wouldn't be fighting, but regardless of asthetics, it's not quite the art that VF4 is.

Virtua Fighter is unique. In short, it's the Pro Evolution Soccer, the Metal Gear Solid or the HALO of Fighting games... It can't be beaten for depth, playability and flare.

Soul Calibur 2 will probably be amazing, but it, like Tekken as i've said before, is still a button masher - there's very little skill involved. I'm not saying there's no skill, but if you want a REAL challenge, get VF4 - Tekken 4 is just another Tekken game, but VF4 takes the franchise to new levels... the A.I, The graphics, the differenciation in character move fluidity, and what-not.

I haven't played them both for long enough to know all the ins and outs, but i'd recommend VF4 over Tekken anyday. It's simply a better fighting game... there's more variety, it's more realistic the graphics are a touch better and in general - it rules!


Game

i saw someone play it in comet today, i was going to wait for a go but was playing Pro Evolution instead

yep thats true, thats why im not gonna buy another Beat em up until Soul Calibur 2 comes out, because I know nothing will be as good as it :D

I had DOA2 on the DC as well. It wasn't bad but I soon went back to Soul Calibur. It just didn't have enough moves or depth to keep me playing. Soul Calibur was far superior. Although the arenas were pretty cool on DOA2.

Yep it will be a while till Soul Calibur 2 comes out but in the meantime im happy playing DOA 2 rather than getting VF..it's no as special as I thought, and DOA 2 does the business for me.

Prisoner of War, Dropship, Medal of Honour: Frontline are games which I want before anything else at the moment.
