SEGA of America this week released Virtua Fighter 5 for the PLAYSTATION 3. This latest installment in the critically-acclaimed series elevates the arcade fighting genre to all-new heights as it takes true advantage of the capabilities of the next-generation hardware. Virtua Fighter 5 features an all-star cast of 17 fighters, including characters from the previous iterations along with two new characters named El Blaze and Eileen. El Blaze is a Mexican fighting champion who defeats opponents with his quick Lucha Libre fighting style. Eileen, originally from China, uses a Monkey Kung-Fu fighting style that she learned from her grandfather, a former Kung-Fu master. Players will be able to customize their characters by selecting from four uniquely patterned costumes and a wide range of attachable items that can be placed onto each fighter's various body parts. The game will also support 720p HD resolution. Look for the game in stores this week.
