Fun, but fustrating.........

User Rating: 8.9 | Dead or Alive 4 (Platinum Hits) X360
By GameCubeN24 | Review Date:
Dead or Alive four continues Team Ninja's fighting franchise on the Xbox 360. The Dead or Alive series has always been on of the biggest fighting games on any system and this new next gen version does not fail to impress me and is well worth the price of addition...but you may wanna take anger management classes before you pick up the controller.

Graphics: One of the games best points. The colors are bright, the textures are smooth and they all flow together in perfect harmony. The characters have so much detail its like watches live TV. The only thing keeping this form getting a 10 is the clipping issues this game faces when the action heats up.........and not to mention the "physics" on the female models :P

Sound: Its a typical fighting sound track...generic techno and bland rock. It’s not bad but you will mostly be playing your custom soundtrack. The character voices are very well done and are very convincing.

Game play: Fun and frustrating at the same time. The game can be a pain in the butt at times and the learning curve is very steep, but when you get good at the game.... you will never put it down. Not to mention fun addicting online play.

Overall: This is a must own for anyone with an Xbox 360.... but small flaws keep it from keeping it from perfection.

    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
