I have been playing this for about a month now. It is incredibly addictive. I am only now managing to win the occasional versus match and I am totally hooked. Its much more straightforward fun than Virtua Fighter 5.
One thing you forgot to mention was how the control system works, for those who havent played the previous games (though of course they are easy enough to pick up).
