We're of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What's the point of applying a score to a game that's old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That's why we invented Deja Review: A quick look at the new features and relative agelessness of remade, revived and re-released games. The last time we saw Virtua Fighter 5 was five years ago on the 360, boldly advertising online play on the cover (which wasn't guaranteed in the fighting genre at the time). Over the years, the Japanese arcade version of VF5 has still been in development: it's been tweaked, rebalanced and of course, granted many wonderful new costumes, hats and so on.

The console version, meanwhile, has remained abandoned for those five years. This long-awaited digital release, appropriately titled Virtua Figher 5 Final Showdown, gives console owners Sega AM2's years of hard work on their flagship title all at once for a pittance of $15 on the XBLA and PSN. (PSN+ members get it for free this month.)
