Virtua Fighter Animation Review

Virtua Fighter was a huge success for Sega back in the day, and they needed to milk that cow for all it's worth. The GameGear was not discriminated against when it came to Virtua Fighter.

They did a fairly decent job "De-making" Virtua Fighter. Most of your favorite fighters are here, and play similar to their 3D incarnations. 

The graphics are a bit laughable, but it's surprisingly deep for what I expected. Then again I didn't expect very much from it. Some of moves transfer over to the GameGear version, but the fighting is far less detailed and complex. It's a admirable try for such a limited hardware system, but it's not that great of a game. 

Score: 3 out of 10

Virtua Fighter (Sega 32X Version) Review

The Sega 32X was a unique console. Not only was it a bad idea, and a mess of a hardware system, but Sega soon left it out to die after release. However there were a few games for it, one such being Virtua Fighter. It's actually pretty close to the Arcade and Sega Saturn versions than you'd might expect. 

Obviously the graphics do take a swift punch to the face, but they're defiantly 32-bit. Frankly if you had to get any version, this would probably be dead last on your list. 

It plays rather decent, but the controls are too simple and floaty at times.There's also very little content besides a regular single-player and multi-player mode. It's an impressive effort for a awful system like the 32X, but it's still a bad game. Laughably this is probably the best game the console had to offer.

Score: 4 out of 10 

Things I Hate; Virtua Fighter 4

I was never a big fan of the series in the arcade. I had a little fun with Virtua Fighter Kids. 

I know many people loved Virtua Fighter 4 and are very deep about all the moves and whatever. I just don't like fighting games like that. I'm happy with Street Fighter and Soul Calibur.
