DOA returns with a killer sequel.
The usual Dead or Alive modes are back. You have your classic Story, Time Attack, Survivor, Spare, and now, Online! There a couple of unlockable characters and a lot of unloackable costumes. Online is laggy, and can be a pain, but worth it for the experience. However, blocking and countering has been changed. You have to be standing perfectly still to be able to block, and countering actually requires perfect timing. Can be a pain, but you'll get over it. Oh, and the game has become a button mashers heaven.
Graphics:
Beautiful. I love the smooth anime look of the game. The backgrounds are very rich in detail. I wouldn't think that an "unrealistic" looking game would actually be one of the better looking games on the 360.
Sound:
The music is basically the same as the last ones, as well as the voices. Nothing really new, except the quirky effects online, but that's it. Still good though.
Replay:
Tons. With lots of unlockables this time around, loads of characters, and online, DOA4 will keep you busy for a while.
Overall:
If you love DOA, you will love 4. Buy it!
