Ein wahrer Alptraum für notorische Kritiker: man kann Virtua Fighter wieder und immer wieder spielen, es lassen sich einfach keine Schwächen entdecken. Lediglich die hohen Hardware-Anforderungen stoßen ein wenig auf. Wer sich auch nur ansatzweise für Kampfsportspiele begeistern kann, darf sich dieses wegweisende Produkt nicht entgehen lassen. Die sensationelle Grafikqualität und das über alle Zweifel erhabene Gameplay läßt die Konkurrenz vor Neid erblassen und macht Virtua Fighter PC zum besten Prügelspiel für den PC. Weiter so, Sega!

Det är till och med så trevligt att det vore en lögn att påstå annat än att Virtua Fighter är det bästa fightingspelet till PC.

Computer Games Magazine
Unlike almost any other fighter out today save the Tekken games (the only real competition to this series), Virtua Fighter is a strategy-laden, fluid gaming masterpiece which comes close to being a sort of brutal, interactive artform, and this new PC release of the classic game does nothing to distract from that. Make no doubt about it, Virtua Fighter PC is the best fighting game you can buy for your computer.

An der geschickten Simulation des Kampfgeschehens beeindruckt außerdem das enorme Repertoire an weit über 400 Schlagvarianten von nur acht Kombattanten. Allerdings muß klar gesagt werden, daß das Erlernen der Moves ganz schön an den Kräften zehrt und selbst im Easy-Modus die Gegner hart im Nehmen sind. Geübte Prügler sollten die Herausforderung annehmen, Einsteiger könnten hingegen überfordert sein.

PC Zone
So, to sum up, you won't find any-thing especially innovative or unique about Virtua Fighter PC. Sure, it looks amazing and it's a near-as-dammit perfect conversion of the arcade and Saturn original (and it has new texture maps to boot), but the frame rate is dreadful unless you've got a bloody fast pc. In its favour though, if you don't already have a game of this genre, at only thirty quid it's worth taking a look at this one.

GameSpot
In conclusion, Virtua Fighter is unquestionably the best 3-D fighter published to date on the PC. While not as fast or graphically appealing as the Saturn version, this is as close as a standard PC is likely to come. If you have even a passing interest in 3-D fighters, Virtua Fighter PC is not to be missed.
