Virtua Quest review:
Earlier this year, a highly bashed game from Sega by the name of Virtua Quest hit stores without much of a positive response; actually the game was flat out panned. And to be perfectly honest, as a diehard proponent of the Virtua Fighter series (especially VF4: Evolution), I was one of the game’s biggest criticizers. Just the idea of a “kiddie” action-RPG spin-off of the famed VF fighting franchise sent wicked chills coursing over my body. But then again I hadn’t played the game yet to justify my hateful preconception. And wouldn’t you know it, after having finally played the darn thing I have come away both shocked at how much I found myself enjoying the game, and baffled at some of the ridiculously low review scores this title has been getting thus far. Sure, it isn’t a masterpiece gaming achievement that is going to satisfy the hardcore gamer, but it is a simple and fun action game with some cool RPG-lite elements, and for what it is meant to be -- a VF spin-off targeting a younger audience -- it fills its purpose nicely.
