Sega’s genre-defining beat ‘em up hits the next generation.
For fighting fans, Virtua Fighter has been an institution ever since it first hit the arcade
scene in the 1990s - and now it's back on PLAYSTATION 3. Virtua Fighter 5 raises the
beat ‘em up bar with incredible next generation visuals and a fighting system that's deep
enough to keep you playing for months.
Two new characters join the line-up, adding new fighting styles to the game. El Blaze is a
Mexican wrestling champion, while Eileen is a Chinese expert in Monkey Kung Fu. As with
previous Virtua Fighter games, each character offers enough attack combinations and
depth to make true mastery a rewarding, ongoing process - just like real martial arts, only
not as painful. A new ‘Offensive Move' technique adds even more strategy to encounters
by allowing you to move around your opponent to dodge blows and launch new strikes.
Harnessing the graphical power of PLAYSTATION 3, Virtua Fighter 5 delivers stunning
arenas, detailed characters and amazingly lifelike, fluid animation, making bouts more
spectacular than ever before. What's more, a huge amount of customisation options allow
you to tailor your favourite character's appearance.
- The latest in Sega's classic fighting series
- Two new characters, El Blaze and Eileen, round out a cast of 17 dynamic characters
- Stunning High Definition visuals, with detailed environments and intricate animation
- Customise your favourite character for a unique appearance
