Description
Virtua Fighter 5 will deliver fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action as players head into battle, taking on a host of popular characters. The game will introduce two new dynamic characters, El Blaze and Eileen, complete with new fighting techniques and from completely different backgrounds. Play as one of the 17 default characters in the game or customize a character to become the top Virtua Fighter. Players will be able to modify their characters by selecting from four base costumes and then decorate them by attaching a wide range of unlockable and earnable items. Players will not only achieve victory by defeating highly-skilled opponents, but also by competing for prizes and earning in-game money allowing them to buy many items at an in-game shop. Further building upon the depth of the series, players will now be able to move around their opponent using an “Offensive Move” technique, adding a new strategic element to their battles.
Features
- Two New Characters, El Blaze and Eileen, round out the cast of 17 dynamic fighters. El Blaze is a Mexican wrestling champion that uses the Lucha Libre fighting style, and Eileen, originally from China, uses Kou Ken (Monkey Kung Fu style) which she learned from her grandfather.
- Stunning highly-detailed 3D fighting environments inspired by locations around the world allow players to challenge their opponents in unique types of arenas.
- New offensive move lets players move around their opponent from the side and back allowing players to be more strategic with their battle.
- Customize characters with the enhanced attachment system and customization engine giving players more flexibility than ever before when creating their characters.
- Next-Gen presentation includes HD resolution (widescreen) and Dolby® Digital 5.1CH sound.
