How can you say that this game is good? All the players are the same story line is the same as EVERY other fighting game. How the hell are you meant to memorise 64 different moves for every player and how can you expect to beat the computer over and over again when you have no easy setting for those who are new to the DOA games. It’s like an uphill struggle even if you want a quick one on one.

But the thing that made me mad was how the computer knows how to reverse all your move at the right time and how it seems to know and use all the moves for each player as far as I am concerned there is no way that a human could have reflexes fast enough to 1.reverse moves when it counts and 2. Pull off any of the special moves while playing.

Maybe if you could customise players to make them stronger faster more defence life etc then there would be more reason to play the game. If the computer were then to beat you go away level up then come back and wipe the floor with him simple. But no you have to fight and fight until you are lucky enough to finally beat him/her.

For a next gen fighter I would expect allot more than a bog standard side scroll beat em up that looks nice.

    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
