6.5 Presentation
Generally decent menu system and production values. Nothing really sticks out as glaringly awful or genuinely cool.
5.5 Graphics
Very bland textures and stiff animation. Design of the characters and world ripped from previous Sega titles.
6.0 Sound
Quirky and otherwise corny voice overs and music. Cool music from the original Virtua Fighter.
6.5 Gameplay
Not bad, yet nothing to get excited about. The action and platform elements feel dull after hours of play, and the difficulty suffers from a lack of balance.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
A pretty short game with not much to offer apart from the main quest.
6.6 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
"Virtua Quest offers an interesting blend of RPG elements and action. Plus, it makes decent use of the Virtua Figher name, including dozens of memorable characters and special moves. Unfortunately, the separate elements never quite come together, and each suffers from a lack of attention. The action is mediocre at best, and the platform elements feel sloppy and unrefined. The graphics and sound are equally forgetful. The only glaring problem comes by way of the silly camera. It really gets in your way and detracts from the overall experience. Still, theres a lot to like for diehard fans and those looking for a simple romp in cyberspace. The depth of the character customization, coupled with the Virtua Fighter mythos and special moves, make it a definite rental for the curious."
