Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (2003)
Genres:Fighting
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Evolution was an updated version of Virtua Fighter 4. The game introduced two new characters and adjusted every other character as well. The two new characters were the Judoka-assassin, Goh Hinogami and the Muay Thai boxer Brad Burns. With the addition of Brad Burns, Vanessa Lewis's alternate Muay Thai style from Virtua Fighter 4 was removed and replaced with a Vale Tudo "Offensive" style; making her a solely Vale Tudo brawler.
All of the stages were adjusted. For example, Lei-Fei's stage in Virtua Fighter 4 previously took place during sunset, in Evolution it takes place during the morning.Show more

As someone who started with Virtua Fighter with VF4, it was VF4: Evolution that locked me into what has become my favorite 3D fighting game from a gameplay level. VF4 Evolution is the ultimate entry point of the series and, dare I say, the genre as a whole. What the game lacks in Story Mode, it makes up for in its Quest Mode, a mode that acts as a simulation of the Arcade Scene by allowing a player to take their character through various arcades and tournaments to play against the ghost data of different players, including many recognizable VF names from the scene at the time, creating an infinitely replayable and rewarding experience.
The biggest benefit to VF4: Evolution being preserved and revived on GOG, however, is the in-depth Tutorial features present in the game. While most games settle on teaching you the basics, VF4: Evolution goes above and beyond by setting up lessons centered on intermediate, advanced, and character-specific tools, techniques, and combos. The VF4: Evolution Tutorial is, with no hyperbole, the "Gold Standard" of Fighting Game Tutorials, providing an understanding of fighting game mechanics that extends even beyond the Virtua Fighter series with evergreen lessons that will level-up any player remotely interested in the fighting game genre.
While the Virtua Fighter series has progressed beyond VF4: Evolution with the release of the VF5 series of titles (5, 5R, 5FS, 5US, and 5REVO), VF4: Evolution remains a powerful foundational building block for the series and fighting games as a whole. Without VF4: Evolution releasing on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, there's no telling where my own fighting game life would be, but I do know that, as a result of this game's release, I've stuck with the series for over 20 years, and now, I do commentary for the scene and am able to play alongside some of the best players in the world. VF4: Evolution stands as the single greatest entry point in fighting games, and seeing it again is a service to the genre.

Dead or Alive 2Dead or Alive 2 is a fighting game in the Dead or Alive series. The gameplay of DOA2, and all subsequent Dead or Alive games, borrows heavily from the Virtua Fighter series, but makes some key changes that drastically changes the way Dead or Alive is played in comparison to Virtua Fighter. In DOA2, the basis of the entire fighting system is the circular relationship between three types of moves: blows, throws, and holds.The other defining feature of DOA2, aside from blows/throws/holds, is its stun system. In DOA2 many attacks upon hitting will inflict a stun on the opponent. While stunned, the opponent cannot attack, and cannot guard, but they can hold. If the attacker lands a non-knockdown, non-launching attack while the opponent is stunned, the opponent will be re-stunned in a new way, depending on what attack was landed. A major difference between DOA2 and other fighters was in the safety and non-punishability of attacks, both upon hitting and upon being blocked. Most blows in DOA2 can be punished on hit and block by each character's faster throws, making blow-based offense very risky. In addition to the normal rules of juggling, each character also fits into a specific weight category, which affects how the character responds to being launched and being juggled. In DOA2, fights can occur on either water or ice; when a character is on such a surface, all non-knockdown, non-launching attacks will induce a stun on any successful hit. Walls and falls in the middle of stages are everywhere in the game. Many stages are also multi-tiered: to get to other areas of the stage, one character must be knocked off a ledge and fall into the next area. These falls deal usually fairly high damage, but cannot knock the opponent out. Other notable features included introducing CG cutscenes in line with the plot, replacing the original "Danger Zone" areas in stages with fully interactive ones, allowing players to juggle each other into walls, propelling characters from landmarks for more damage.Action

Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC.
Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness.
To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests.
After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.Action Fantasy Historical Science fiction
