    Default Hilarious amazon.com VG reviews, part 1

    Let me preface this by saying that I LOVE going through the reviews of video games at amazon.com looking for the most (unintentionally) hilarious reviews I can find. After seeing this one today, I just HAD to start a topic devoted to my pastime:

    Virtua Fighter 4 for the PS2

    "This is possibly the worest fighting game I've ever played. Woo Hoo it's hard to learn how to do moves, but even when you do learn the fighting still looks blocky and forced. The music is terrible, and your confined to a little boxed ring. The backrounds may look beautiful, but that doesn't matter you won't have a chance to fight in them. The characters are pathetic as well, but this brings up a bigger question. Why would any developer put wrestlers and boxers in a martial arts sim? I would like to see a true martial arts sim, where each fighter has a highly developled arsenal of moves based on real moves in real martial arts. Do yourself a favor and stay away from all of Sega's fighters. Yes, even Soul Caliber, it's garbage. Go and pick up any Tekken and watch the fluidity and grace in which the moves flow together, this is what simulated martial arts is all about."

    Yes, we all hate wrestlers and boxers in martial arts sims. Good thing Tekken 4 doesn't have either of those. ^_^

    And my personal favorite quote from this review:

    Do yourself a favor and stay away from all of Sega's fighters. Yes, even Soul Caliber, it's garbage.

    I shouldn't have to point out why this makes me crack up.

    More to come.

    Well, the idiot clearly knows nothing about martial arts. There are elements of wrestling and boxing in any martial art. There's a reason they call things like Pride and UFC Mixed Martial Arts competitions. I mean come on, does a martial art get any purer than the Drunken Master?

    It's because he spelled "Calibur" wrong, I just know it.

    Maybe he thinks that Sega/Namco merger went through.
    Selling collection, Atari through XBox. Send a PM with whatever games you're looking for.

    Ugh, I get so pissed when i read those things... do people who write those things think that anyone gives a shit what they say? Just like those stupid lists too... I saw one that was called "WHY THE MUSIC YOU LIKE SUCKS, LISTEN TO THIS"

    Humanity makes Baby Jesus cry. Humanity and the internet makes Baby Jesus give head to a sawed off shotgun.
