 dead or alive 4 platinum hits January 1, 2008

The game Dead or Alive 4 was received in a timely manner and packaged well. The game was ordered for two of my sons; and they have been well pleased with it. The graphics are good and it is simply "cool" to play.
 Pretty slick May 9, 2008

Now I've never "really" been a big fighting games guy aside from the DOA games and Soul Calibur. Anyway, DOA4 is a nice addition to the DOA franchise. The new and improved HD graphics are nice and shiny as they should be. All in all the game engine seemes quite refined from previous DOA installments making the moves slicker and faster than ever. With unlockables galore it is quite fun to see some of the cool stuff Team Ninja packed into this game. (I.E. Halo Spartan-458 unlockable character)
Only things I can say that make this game a 3 Star rating for fun and a 4 Star rating for overall playability is in the game's execution. The Story Mode is as convoluted and vague as ever. The encounters with other characters in Story Mode, which were kinda hokey to begin with, are extremely silly. (I.E. Li-Fang and Hitomi get into a fight over a head of lettuce.) More than one occassion the encounter cut-scene rolled and by the end of it I was slack-jawed with a "you-can't-be-serious" expression on my face. The end cut-scenes in Story Mode were...okay. Some were downright cool. Others I just wanted to shoot my XBox, or at the very least Team Ninja.
What's annoying, each opponent you face in Story Mode get's progressively harder, as it should. However it's not so much that they get harder as it is they combo you endlessly until you are dead. There were fights that started, my opponent gets in the first hit (and I'm pretty quick on the controls), then they keep hitting...and hitting...and hitting... So it becomes very tedious when you can't get even a single hit in.
Now here's the kicker...the end-all-be-all of why I did't rate this game higher. The end boss is TOO hard. Now DOA's boss battles are kind of a tradeoff. DOA2, Tengu can combo you and hits like a truck, as well as he has ranged attacks. DOA3, Omega (Genra) fight was a disaster to mankind. Now we get the Alpha-152 fight in DOA4. This Super-Kasumi Clone hit's like a truck and is fast like a freak. She teleports JUST out of your reach, then combos you eight to twelve times, and slams you onto the ground which explosively shocks you. If that doesn't kill you then it's a miracle. She has killed me (on more than one occasion) in two to three hits. If that wasn't annoying her teleporting around makes her dang near impossible. She'll teleport just out of your reach and hit you or teleport behind you and attack then. Not to mention her attacks are almost ALL unblockable.
All in all if you're a hardcore DOA fan this is an awesome game. If you're a fan of fighting games this one is fun to play but only if you're going to do survival, multiplayer, or the like. Otherwise, it's worth a rent but don't waste sleep over it.

I liked this game at first but it gotten boaring, its to easy to short and the same as the other dead or alive games. The graphics is good but the rest is the same like the other DOA games, only two new characters in this game but thats it. The combos are good but it lowers the opponiets bar to quick cause the attacks is to powerful, like virtua fighter, tekken, street fighter, and this one. This game gets real boaring after awhile so this is an okay game.
Not the best... June 16, 2008

Good-Graphical upgrade/stages/nice CG movies/Online mode/thats about it
Bad-Not enough extra content/unlockable costumes are mostly just color variated/Online Mode frequently lags/Cheap AI starting at stage 1/NO easy mode/game gets boring after awhile
This was the only fighting game for the 360 when I bought it and to this day I still regret buying this. The AI will counter everything and juggle you for days, at STAGE 1!...when you stack up all the negatives along with the AI this game isnt very fun. After I unlocked everything I bought Virtua fighter 5 and this became obsolete.
Stunning Graphics And Superb Game For The Xbox 360 June 27, 2008

I know this game has been out since last year but since I just got my Xbox 360 this February I didn't know what to expect. Once I got this game Amazed and Surprised are what I felt the graphics for this game were beyond belief with what I was thinking about the fluid way the characters attack and move was excellent as well as the visual background. The thing I also liked was that they didn't dub the original voices for an English audio don't get me wrong I usually don't mind when they dub the game for the most part but there are sometimes when you want to hear the original V.A of the game. Like one reviewer said it is sometimes frustrating when you're fighting and trying to counter or block your opponents attack and nothing seems to go your way in the battle round but you have to calm down and think about it would you rather have so easy opponents to battle against that the game gets boring after a few hours? I already heard that a DOA 5 game is in the works for 2009 if it does come out for the 360 I will definitely be getting that game as well.
So All in All if you like the fighting games like Tekken or Virtual Fighter I say this game is greatly worth it as well...
