VF4 Evolution - or simply Evo as it's fans call it - represents the current 'zenith' of beat 'em ups. In the UK, it was cruelly overlooked, with the vast majority of gamers opting for the creditable Tekken series or (shudder) Mortal Kombat. If you're looking for 'purity' in your fighting games, then look no further than Evo. The Virtua Fighter series - since its inception in 1993 - has always taken an increasingly technical approach to gameplay (perhaps explaining why the button mashing friendly Tekken series achieved greater commercial success). But for those willing to complete the tutorials and refine their technique, Evo is just wonderful. Fighter customisation is fun, but the real selling point in single player mode is the 'Virtual Arcade', where the AI of the CPU controlled fighters is based around some of the finest VF'ers in Japan - including Chibita (the famous Lion player). As with all Beat 'Em Ups, 2 player is where the game takes off. Watching a couple of high level players go at it is nothing short of spectacular. Not one for the mashers amongst us - but if you're even half serious about your games - or just a SEGA Fan Boy like me - you'll be adding this to your basket now. Without a doubt - Evo is THE greatest console fighter to date. I can't see this being bettered until SEGA convert VF5. Buy Buy Buy - without the slightest hesitation...then kiss your social life goodbye :-)Read full review

I have always loved the VF games in this is very possibly the best along with 2 on the Saturn. VF fans demand a game deeper and more interesting than Tekken and considering the low price it usually sells for on ebay it is well worth picking up. One of the best fighting games on the PS2 go for it
