The best installment in the series so far! Seriously.

The Past DOA games have had amazing graphics, and an ambitous online system. But it has been better realized in this 4th game. The gameplay is not the strong point, despite that fact that characters now have new moves at their disposal. The 4 new characters are great, just don't take them online right away, otherwise you will lose a great deal of matches (unless it's just luck or you have played these games before). The online still has it's issues, but it is a lot more fun as it is not constantly lagging on you. I lobby system, it's a like it or hate it ordeal. Its cool that there is a lobby, but it may be to cartoony for some people. So to conclude, as this is my first review, if none of the Xbox 360 titles amaze you, give DOA4 a try. It's improved gameplay and online features make it worth the money.
The Good
- Improved online play
- New fighters and moves for existing characters
- Awsome graphics
- Improved countering system
The Bad
- Final boss is really cheap, I mean really cheap.
- Offline single player may not be as fun as offline multiplayer or Online play
- Not to innovative
