...But that's not saying a whole lot. I still have a hard-on for the Dreamcast, so purely as a Sega-phile, I'm enjoying this game a lot more than I would be if I wasn't attuned to Sega's style. I'll get my $10 worth out of it, don't get me wrong - but it has so many issues, small and large, that I couldn't recommend it to anyone who didn't also have a major hard-on for Sega. The camera hardly moves unless you center it behind Sei. The controls are stiff and clunky. The required tutorials are incredibly lengthy. The combat system, while fun in a mindless way, does no justice to the Virtua Fighter name.

It's not hard to see why it bombed, in other words.

I have a HUGE SEGA hardone all the time. But my Toys R Us didn't have it. I did get Pikmin 2 which I always wanted. I was going to get that just because it's SEGA, but alas.

I won't get Shadow the Hedghog, I'll say that much. Damn you SEGA get back to freaking work man.

It's sooo incredibly boring. That's pretty damning for a game.

 

[FateBreaker]

I enjoyed it.

Yeah, it's really just a drab one-player PSO clone with a couple more combos and a lot less stuff to play with. The (unskippable) cutscenes do seem like someone put effort into them, but they're not very interesting.

I'll get Advent Rising when it hits $10 at Best Buy. It's good, but not $30 good.

 

[demi]

So will I

I could use a fourth copy

 

[FateBreaker]

If Advent Rising could have let you walk coherently, it'd be a damn fine game.
Virtua Quest is better than that.

Oh shit! You just reminded me that I have to pick up this turdpile while I'm back in America, if only to hear the English voices of all my favorite VF characters.

I remember some preview video where Akira was like "YOU MEET WITH ME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE STRONG!!!!"

:lol If you've played Gitaroo-Man, you could lift the voices straight out of it and paste it into VQ and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Hehehe.

I've wanted this since day one. I still want it. I'm an utter Sega nut. Shitty PSO wannabe sounds good to me. Let me at it. Unfortunately it's quite difficult to find online at a reasonable price. Reasonable being less than $20 including shipping. I may be a Sega nut, but I'm not stupid.

You missed your chance, because Amazon/TRU had the PS2 version for $9.99 for a long time. At one point there were 32 of them, and I ordered mine then. When it came in I checked their stock and there were still 30. :lol

Oh, I forgot to mention it has to be the GCN version. The PS2 version just doesn't feel like it's the right one.
