Series Vets will enjoy playing online matches again but without any new blood this game and ultimately this franchise is doomed to die. After a 10 year hiatus they had a chance to revitalize the franchise and entice new players to get into the fold.

Final Thoughts: End of the day this is just a huge missed opportunity. B.) Why no keyboard chat in lobbies? Why hamper the ability to communicate with each other? C.) Seriously why does the game look so ugly? Vanessa and Sarah look like they were beaten with a shovel, and Lei Fei looks like someone drew angry eyebrows on his face while he was sleeping. It was acceptable back in the day but we have had so many advances in technology that the game should be running much better. I promise your their is absolutely nothing Ultimate about 2021's Ultimate Showdown. Like Ulitmate Showdown that game was a third iteration, in this case being DOA2, that game had: a bonus character, new environments, a beautifully update graphic engine and packed to the gills with unlockable content. (They really want 30 bucks for this after August?)

Add in the fact that the game looks markedly worse than both its 20 counterparts and I see why the game was made free to ps+ members. Ultimate Showdown does not have a quest mode or any unlockable content, leaving new players little else to do, other than to go online and get killed by more experienced players. it was a simple but ohh so effective way to keep new players engage as they learn the many ropes and systems that are in Virtua Figher. Eventually you would have to travel to a more difficult arcade, forcing you to go into training mode to learn some new moves so you can continue to level up and unlock fun content. With each victory you had in quest mode you improved your rank and increased your chances of unlocking one of the many costume pieces for your character.

Virtua Fighter 5 Online had this excellent quest mode that encouraged new players (like me at the time) to learn and experiment with many different characters. Considering that I've been playing games close to 30 years and have played 100's of them, that means something to me. Considering that I've been playing Just to be clear, Virtua Fighter 5 online for the 360 is in the top 20 of my favorite games of all time.
