The Final Word game review

Virtua Fighter -- Sega

R.I.P.
I was really amazed at this title when I finally sat down to play it. It's really phenomenal what the 32X can really do if programmed well. Unfortunately it was to little to late as a hardware upgrade, and I personally think it was a waste of R&D time and money on the part of Sega. When you get down to it, play control is pretty good. Graphics don't really touch the Saturn version due to a lower resolution and lower frame rate, but if you can't afford (or aren't ready) to make that leap up to a next generation system, but want to play a next generation fighter, then this title is an option for you to look into. For me though... I usually hate fighting games, and this title didn't do much for me in the long run, or do all that much to change my opinion of Virtua Fighter as a game overall.
