Initially, I was worried it was yet another rehash of the DOA series, but once you see the content there is to unlock and attempt, you'll see that there's much more to this game than meets the eye. For the player at home, there's plenty to do and unlock, from Sparring (to get character voices), to Story and Time Trial (to get characters and costumes). There's always something to do. For the player online, you cannot help but be impressed with the online lobbies where you get in line to fight in virtual theaters, where you get to watch the best of the best duke it out. It amazes and continues to do so. Do yourself a favor, if you own a 360, you need this game.
