More like DOA 3.5 for XBox 1.5

This series has turned out to be a real shame. Just a little while ago I was in DOA heaven with Doa ultimate and now we are back to the rush probuction of DOA 4. It's the same thing that happened to dead or alive 3. It Was rushed to make a dead line for MoneySoft. the perfect counting system found In DOA ultimate has been replaced with a system that makes it feel more like a chore to do instead of funto use. They might at well have taken out the grappling system there is no need for one here, because after the first 2 matches in story mode the character never let down long enough to use it! The character fight like MACHINES! they don't even know when to stop fighiting, they're still kicking my ass after the match is over. I thought Kasumi was suppost to be peaceful and only fight if she must. But instead I see she loves kicking my ass even after my defeat.
This worries me, the graphics are good, but like I said before. It looks more like Xbox 1.5 instead of next generation. And what with all the congradulation on Xbox 360 launch signs everywhere. It make be feel that the great Tomonobu Itagaki has sold out for money. could he be kissing Bill's ass any harder!
Almost all the character costumes are remakes of one I've have seen since DOA1 (someone lost his creativity) Or they are the same costume with different colors. I'm sorry but If I'm going to get the living Hell beaten out of me about 30 time in a row by the cheapest character ever Jann Lee, then please reward me with something.
To be fair the endings are fun.... to watch about 2 time then just forget about them. OH look we are still fighting DOAtec. I just can't wait to find out more in Dead or Alive 5. Which will probably be rushed for XBOX 720 and will probably amazingly look alot like Dead or Alive 4, but this time they'll add more monkies to the temple stage and Tomonobu Itagaki will make a special guess appearane were he will flick us all off while counting his money Bill boy gave him for his soul!

    Excellent Game.

    Dead or Alive 4, the most recent iteration of the popular DOA series, is an incredible experience. Everything is superb. The character models-though still cartoony in appearance-are still detailed enough to drop a few ja... Read Full Review

    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
