By now you've definitely heard about VF4 being one of the best, if not the best fighting game around. Now I own it, and I am one of the biggest fighting game fanatics you will ever meet, and VF4 has more hype than gameplay. The fighting engine is much to shallow; punch, kick, and block. DOA had the same style buttons, but they incorporated it in a good way, but VF4 does not do it justice. The fighting feels empty, and the moves aren't all they're cracked up to be. Yes, I admit it has smooth graphics and easy pick-up-and-play controls, but they don't outweigh the emptiness you feel when you play this game. Tekken 4 easily beats this game to the punch, so please don't give into the hype with VF4.
