From the time the game was announced for Microsoft’s next generation console, Xbox 360 gamers have been waiting to get their hands on Virtua Fighter 5. Now SEGA of America has sent word that they have shipped VF 5 for the Xbox 360 in North America. The game has online two-player versus mode via Xbox Live.
Overview of Virtua Fighter 5:
- Virtua Fighter 5 is based on the latest arcade version update and features both analog stick and D-pad control, as well as vibration support. The game also includes an improved Quest mode featuring more CPU rivals, items, and emblems for character customization. The DOJO mode has added features including leaderboards, training move settings, improved throw escape training, and the option to change your opponent’s position and recovery type. These all work to create a more refined DOJO mode where players can improve their fighting strategy.
Rick Naylor is the director of marketing at SEGA of America. He says, “This is the moment Virtua Fighter fans have been waiting for, online head-to-head fighting for Virtua Fighter 5. The introduction of online play opens up the Virtua Fighter competition arena to a global scale, enabling players to compete and challenge anyone, anywhere, anytime, using Xbox LIVE.”
Virtua Fighter 5 has been developed by AM R&D Department #2 at the Sega Corporation. Just like the other Xbox 360 blockbusters, VF 5 too will cost $59.99 (approx. Rs. 2400). Last month, a demo version of Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360 was uploaded on Xbox Live.
