So, I purchased Dead or Alive 4. Despite all of the negative reactions on this game by some people. Simply because I like fighting games. I use to own all of the Tekken series. Thought they were great too until I played Dead or Alive 3 at a friend. Sure, the story is way below that of Tekken, but the action is so much faster and requires way more skill. Newbies (like I am myself now) really won't win against people who have been playing it a long time. In Tekken on the other hand, button mashing worked from time to time for newbies to defeat long time players. The control scheme of Tekken is also a bit too easy as you can say. Simply doing nothing will block any high or mid range attack. Pushing the down button blocks every low attack. Given that there are only few fake moves in Tekken, it's just too easy to block stuff. I can say as a long time Tekken player, that game on single player is not hard at all. On the latest installment, Tekken 5, I had - what was it? - about 80 wins in Survival when I played the first time. I'm just sayin'.

Anyway, DOA4 is awesome. Allot of cool moves and above all, fast, technical action. Haven't played it online yet but I beat the story mode with two of my favorite characters from DOA3. Ryu Hayabusa and Jann Lee. Awesome duo too.

Anyway, I'm going to check out what those secret achievements are, because there are loads of them in this game. I'll see you all later.
