I think Boogie and Adventure summed it up perfectly.

People brought my expectations very high up, by going on and on about it. And what I ended up seeing was "just another fighting game." If I had constant human players to go against, then it'd be fun. But that goes for any game in the genre.

The way I see it, you can spend $50 for an overhyped game, or $20 for Virtua Figher 4: Evolution. As much I as grumble at its complex fighting system, I'd prefer it over something where I can mash buttons, and beat anyone with luck. Besides, Evolution's supposed to have a "tutorial" to better make you familiar with the gameplay. I know that since VF4 was my first game in the series, I was lost with it's gameplay depth.
