doa4 is -not- a bad game. it's a great fighter. it's fast and gorgeous, and unfortunately designed only for those inhuman super reflex clones that i'm sure george lucas will make another movie about.

doa4 is hard. it's really hard. it makes me want to fight team ninja and itagaki for they've done to us this time. additionally as per usual, the doa control scheme is about as far from intuitive as is humanly possible.

graphically however, the game is a delight to behold. in those rare cases where u do manage to win, it's certainly worth the effort tho.

however, i will say this in warning...the final boss cheats. don't ever expect to win and you'll do fine.
