Critic Reviews for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage
Virtua Fighter 5 REVO World Stage serves as a fitting conclusion to a game with an amazing history. The new single-player content, crossplay, and rollback netcode are great additions to continue experiencing its great gameplay. However, as a definitive edition, a little more care could have been taken by removing paywalls.

Without a doubt, this is the best version of Virtua Fighter 5 and, in my opinion, the most accomplished in the entire franchise. Sega and RGG paid close attention to online play with the rollback netcode and managed to perfect the visuals to the fullest. The downside is the lack of additional content, but considering its 20-year age, the game has aged impeccably, and the additions have been a great improvement.

Despite being a 3D fighting game pioneer, Virtua Fighter has always struck me as being the serious big brother of the genre. Or perhaps even the ster...
The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage. While the excitement has returned to bring the rest of the world up to speed with R.E.V.O., its attempt to scratch the single player itch feels more like an added bonus than a defining feature. From the feel of it, Virtua Quest (shudders) and Virtua Fighter 5's original experiment at expanding the experience may have taken that shot almost twenty years too early. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage plays it safe but remains deliberate in its execution. World Stage is a solid choice for players from the "don't stop till the other drops" mindset, leaning heavily toward the multiplayer scene above all else. For its price, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage gives both new and returning World Tournament fighters a reason to jump back in and welcome fresh challengers. Expecting more than the competitive spirit of "fight everyone on everything" might lead to a ring out for your expectations, though.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage brings decades of excellence to the ring, neatly wrapped up in three little buttons. For those looking for more training options, this release is just the thing for those looking to hone their craft.
Don't be fooled: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is a great game, but with few new features when considering only this new version. Hardcore fans will be happy with the addition - finally - of rollback netcode. But the new "World Stage" mode leaves something to be desired.

Thanks to meaningful new additions such as crossplay, rollback netcode, and a meaty single-player mode, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage cements itself as one of the very best fighting games currently available.
For those wanting a more modern fighting game with a focus on story based single player content, you’ll need to look elsewhere. For fighting game fans who want the simpler more quaint arcade and competitive experience then look no further, Virtua Fighter is back!
