We are all familiar with DOA, one of the top fighting games. The latest one to Xbox 360 won't make you disappointed. The animations are better and faster and all the characters have great fighting skills. I'm fascinated by the breast animations. All the girls have big boobs which are jumping quite a lot.
The story is as always very dramatic and the cut scenes in the story mode are funny and beautiful. Not as serious as the overall story though. The cut scenes are in fact silly, but in a good way. You're supposed to laugh at it.
The reason I don't give DOA4 a full score is that I hate the boss Alpha-152, the shimmering clone of Kasumi. She's a piece of cake when you play Kasumi, but with some of the other characters she feels invincible. She's cheating! She suck the live out of you in just two attacks sometimes. It's really hard to block in story mode. Your opponent blocks all the time but you're lucky if you can block a few times per fight.
But if you don't mind getting pissed from time to time it's a keeper! The worlds are quite big and you can get hit by cars, attacked by wild animals and fall on monkeys.
I recommend it to all of you who likes the fighting genre. It's worth every cent. It's the ultimate fighting experience! But if you have crappy entertainment system you won't be able to experience how great it is.

I found this forth incarnation of Dead or Alive being pretty much the same as the other ones, I'm not saying that is bad though. I enjoy playing DoA with a friend for sure. Before trying it out I read something about it being harder to counter attack (cause CA's are so extremely powerful in DoA) but I didn't really notice that, it's still far to easy to win a fight just by counter attacks.
wow, that looks like a cool game
You ARE keeping your eyes open for the forthcoming movie, I hope? It's gonna be sooo cool!
" I'm fascinated by the breast animations. All the girls have big boobs which are jumping quite a lot."

haha. I think that pretty muchs sums it up for DOA. I never understood why they focused that much on the boob renderings. I really really like Tekken and Soul Calibur a lot more, but they too spend time rendering awfully detailed breasts. I could really do without it. I refuse to believe that big boobs is practical in a fighting scenario. I refuse!
I guess the jumping big boobs have become Tecmo's unique trademark since they did DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball

Imagine that in xbox360 HD quality....
The graphics look awesome on this game. It's just too bad I don't really like fighting games all that much. I guess I won't be really convinced to buy the 360 myself until titles like Halo 3 or Forza Motorsport 2 show up.
I've also found a downside of having an entertainment set that can show games like DOA 4 in it's full glory... classic XBOX games now look like shit!
