Default Virtua Fighter 5 / Xbox 360

Hello

Does anyone have this yet and can comment? It was my favourite game on the Saturn many (too many!) years ago and this update seems to be good (and better than the PS3 apparently).

But it plays so much better than any other 3d fighting game (waits for all the people to jump in and say Tekken is better ).

I didn't realise it was on Marketplace, I will go and do that.

As for Tekken, it is a great game but 'different' to Virtua Fighter.

Surely you need a decent arcade type stick to enjoy it properly?

This is my concern with it but it does work quite well with the stick but a proper Megalo 50 arcade stick would be nice (reminds me off playing VF3 on the Dreamcast)

Soul Calibur 2 is obviously the greatest 3D fighter of all time - But VF is aces *if* you have the dedication required.

Too easy imo but VF series is possibly too hard (especially Aoi and Akira)

Just bought it in Morrisson's for £32.99 -- and the game is as I remember it. I haven't tried it online yet though.
