Just what all the fans want and expect.
Gameplay:
The same as all the other DOA games but with a few minor tweaks to the flow of fights, all to the better of the game. It has the standard Story mode with little to no story along with all the other modes you have come to know and love all of which are really just variations of a fighting game classic arcade mode. As always time spent honing strategy in sparring mode is time well spent. The standout mode for this iteration is the online mode. Although it was also in DOA Ultimate this time it just seems more complete. There is almost no lag and online is one of the best places to hone your skills and meet human challengers as a breath of fresh air from the computer.
Graphics:
Amazing as always with Team Ninja. Always improving their style and graphic effectiveness.
Difficulty:
As it seems with all Team Ninja games this game is easy to play and understand but hard to master and win at. The lowest setting will give all newcomers to the series a run for their money but for those of you who mastered the previous games there are two higher difficulty modes.
Controls:
Great as always, but the minor tweaks make it even better.
Overall this game is just what a fan wants, however if you did not like previous games in the series or just don't like arcade style fighting games you most likely wont like this one. If you are a true fan of DOA or fighting games buy it now, but otherwise buy DOA Ultimate or DOA 3 and wait for the price to come down.
