if you've a fan of the Dead or Alive series up to this far, theres no good reason not to pick this up.
Gorgous, crisp graphics.
Fast paced fighting.
More unlockables then you can shake a stick at.
Attractive lady folk.
Ending cinematics that are funny, humorous, touching - also just plain well made.
Great sound.
Aerosmith.
Cons.
Refused to update, thusly I can't play online.
No "easy" setting for people like me who are below average, at best when it comes to fighting games.
Most "unlockables" seem to be just recolors of old costumes.
Bottom line; theres matial arts. Theres chicks. Whats not to like?
Aside from the fact of course that I can't update to play online.
I know I'm not the only one who's had this trouble.
Whilst the majority might play fine, this isn't exactly an isolated incident, so uh, fix.
