I went and bought this game a few weeks ago,and i didnt stop playing it until 3 days later. i had about 4 hours sleep. it is the most gorgeous game ive ever seen! i was literally drooling at the visuals. You step into the single player game and youve got a variety of characters to choose from, you play through them all to unlock new characters, like the very much talked about spartan-458. personally, when i unlocked her, i was quite disappointed, i preferred the halo level that was given to me.
there are 7 characters to unlock, most of them you have seen before, but one or two are new faces.
with the default characters, there are about 2 or 3 new additions. they are all very good characters to use.
The control system works like any other beat em up, one button punch, the other kick, the other block, etc. it works a dream. and tecmo/team ninja have done an excellent job on the countering system. you dont need to know every move to be decent at it. perhaps, if your a Japanese kid with no life and has the ambition to be the best online, then go ahead. but it isnt needed.
I recommend this game to everyone. even if your not a fan of beat em ups, i say give it a try.

    The DOA series is upping the stakes

    It's hard to describe my feelings towards DOA4 after spending a fair chunk of time with the game. In trying to get rid of the "DOA is for button bashers" image, Tecmo tried to incorporate more elements in DOA4 that would... Read Full Review
