I am pretty dissapointed with Tomonobu Itagaki and team ninja.
Their games on the original xbox seemed to always look a lot better than the others, and even have more depth. But doa4 is just horrible.

the games good is its online. we experienced online in doa ultimate, but now the online is perfected. it has a funny lobby scheme, and the its fun.
there are 4 new characters. the graphics are better. the countering system has been made more challenging and less cheap.

the games bad is that it barely seems different than doa3. the graphics look barely better than doa3. the new characters, 1/4, have their own fighting style, while the rest have styles of original characters, very cheap. the game is challenging, but not smart challenging, its just overpowering and unfair on hard mode.

this game is absolutely not worthy of being called a next generation fighting game. I honestly think this game could have run on the original xbox.
i was expecting more.

team ninja has now seemed to have lost it.
