Need to play the others ones?
First things first, i've always been a Tekken fan. SoulCalibur too but that has weapons so i don't put it in the same fighter bracket.
I understand that many people regard the Virtua Fighter series quite highly and as a seasoned gamer i thought it was about time i expanded my beat 'em horizons.
I've enjoyed many, many hours of Tekken with my friends sat around a play station. But VF5 wasn't enjoyable at all. I'm not labelling it a bad game, it blatantly isn't cause people keep making them and fans keep buying them. I just didn't enjoy this.
My main problem is probably that i hadn't played the older ones and picked up the battle system. The learning curve seemed very steep and i wasn't prepared to learn it all.
From my point of view it seemed slow and really quite boring, but at the same time i suppose the fighting is more realistic. My warning is for other Tekken fans thinking of trying this out, get it pre-owned it rent it.
