Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Review | Blistered Thumbs

BT writes: The fighting game genre is definitely one of the most prolific in video games within recent times. Successful or not, a few new franchises have thrown their hand into the ring alongside more installments in the already large pool of existing series, all based around two people beating the crap out of one another. One of the earliest franchises that still exists today is the Virtua Fighter series, which came out with its fifth installment around five years ago. While I have played my fair share of fighters, I never had the chance to experience this particular fighting system, until now. Five years after initial release, a second revision, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, has shown up on PSN and Xbox Live. So, does this old fighting game still hold up to today’s standards? Allow me to tell you.
