One of if not THE worst fighting game ever made

I have played many many fighting games fom NES(I'll count Kung Fu here) all the way up to the 360 now. And this has to be the worst one I have ever played. When I first bought it and was getting my head handed to me, I thought it just takes some getting used to. Well, after more than 10 hours later the same thing is happening. I have Soul Caliber 3, and though it was hard at first the more you play the more you get used to it. The more you can flow with it and hold your own. This game however, is nowhere near that good. Yes it's a pretty game, but beauty does NOT make a fighting game. I found the controls sloppy at best, the reversals or counters near impossible, and blocking pretty much not there. And anyone who has played through knows the last fight with evil gree jello girl is a gamers nightmare. The developer who made this junk should really stop trying to be a rock star and make a fighting game worth buying. I suggest you buy Soul Caliber 3 for PS2 or wait for a new and better fighting game to come out.

TECMO SUCKS!

why do they do this, why do they make it so hard? Tekken is way better in which it depends on skill, in this one you just want to break the game in half, the graphics are amazing, the game play hmmmmmmmmm dont know, the only thing i can see why many people like it is because the girls are half naked in it, lots of cat fights, its the only game that has the best female fighting i have seen on a console

but definetly get it when its 29.99 or even lower, wait for better games

Fighting FUN!

This is definitely my favorite, and in my opinion, the best fighting game to date. There are so many different ways to play the game it's not even funny. There are 23 characters this time around with new ones to choose from, including a Halo inspired Female Spartan. You have your single player gametypes including story mode, time trials, and survival among others. In story mode you pretty much play different matches against other characters (8 levels for each story mode, if I remember correctly). You also have your cut-scenes and movie quality endings to actually make up a "story." The endings are awesome (especially one is particular...HELENA) and can each be re-watched when you complete the story mode for that character. In Time Trial, you play through a certain amount of levels and you are timed throughout. Your times, then, are ranked and put up in leaderboards over xbox live. Then there is the Survival mode, which is basically you against a never ending boss. You play, without stopping, against one other character, and when they are "K.O.'d" a new one comes in the ring to verse you. You get back some of your health each time and there are also items to boost your score and for additional health. Both of the Time Trial and Survival modes can be played as singles or tag matches.

There are also ways to play against other players in a verses mode or over xbox live. The multiplayer portion of this game is awesome. I find myself playing over xbox live for hours on end without losing any bit of amusement. Like other games played via xbox live, there is a ranking system involved. You can be anything from a F- to a SS. It's pretty much like grade scale from F through A with the - and + signs, and then after A+ a player becomes an S, and then eventually a SS. If you want to become a SS you are going to have to work a lot harder at it because there is a significant difference in points needed for each rank. These points are obtained or lost by winning or losing games on xbox live. Overall, this game is extremely fun and is hours and hours of fun. It has definite replay value with its different modes and especially from its Xbox Live capabilities.

Rubbish AI; An Exercise in Frustration

Video games are supposed to be accessible for everyone -- someone should have told this to Tecmo, who have bogged down what would have been a delightfully fun fighting game with the cheapest, most abusive AI I have ever seen. Though the game is beautiful, fast, and frenetic when playing with a friend, trudging through the game's single-player mode -- the only way to unlock more goodies and characters -- is horrific. The game's AI is so cheap to the point where random button mashing is the only way to go. The computer relentlessly punishes you for attempting throws, reversals, or even BLOCKING. I won't even get into the final boss, which made me launch my wireless controller across the room multiple times. After 20 years of game-playing, nothing has ever frustrated me as much as this.

Avoid like the plague, unless you like a challenge and enjoy blowing sixty bucks on a game that will abuse and humiliate your playing skill at every step of the way.

team ninja does it again.

first off i will say dead or alive 4 has a nice look graphics looks crisp and clean, beautiful game. however like other team ninja games (ninja gaiden)doa4 suffers from a lack of an easy option i am so sick and tired of playing these games that's almost impossible to beat. to team ninja is putting an easy option on your games such a problem. $60 per game and $400 for the system can't team ninja and xbox cut me some slack please thank you. three stars for the look of the game's graphics but game play and anything else are like doa ultimate on the regular xbox no real big change.

all i can say is wow. i have wiated for this game since i first heard about it coming out as i am a huge DOA fan. Like most i do have my gripes with the game.
1: I hate the final boss. period end of story. cheese, cheese and more cheese. i know tecmo wanted to contend with jimpachi from tekken 5 but this is rediculous.......
2: ONLINE SUCKS. well its not bad but they do need to patch the lag.
3: breaking throws these days are hard.
4: overly cheesy AI.

other than that its the best looking game on 360 and plays like a charm. I love some of the new characters(even if eliot sucks)
The spartan is a welcome addition to the game but i wish she had an ending. oh well. The counter system got a much needed overhaul, making the counter window smaller for counters to activate. Throws got more devestation for the ones who have them and throws in mid combo are a wonderful addition.

the modes are the same as always making for a great fighing experience. The multiplayer is wicked as well with new tag team possibilites. The Xbox live is where this game shines. New ranking system so its not that easy to get the SS rank which we all covet.

cant wait to see some of you online.....

DEAD OR ALIVE 4 REVIEW

This game was hard at first but then it got a helluva lot better. This game has awesome fighting moves,beautiful women and gorgeous graphics,and a terrific storyline that ties into the Ninja Gaiden games. When I started getting good with this game I was beating storymode with at least two people per day out of seventeen characters.(some of which you have to unlock along the way.)For each character you beat storymode with,they come with an ending video. Some of these ending videos are excellent and some are really wierd. Also after you beat storymode each character gets a new costume and a new character to which Halo fans might enjoy playing,and the character is the only one who speaks English while the others characters speak Japanese. This game is an excellent purchase and is definitely worth trying to beat. This game's so fun to me that I would rather stay home from school and try to beat time attack mode since I beat storymode and in turn unlock a fourth costume. Parents take note,some of the content in this game isn't kid-appropriate because of some of the ending videos,and the content descriptor of blood,violence,sexual themes,and partial nudity. However,parents should be more afraid of Rumble Roses XX because it also has a mature rating, but this one's for mild language,partial nudity,sexual themes,and violence. Trust me for the warning because I own that game along with the one I'm reviewing.One reason it's not for kids is because of the opening video which many parents would consider horrifying for their kids. Number two,their outfits,sure the girls from the Dead or Alive fighting and volleyball series may wear sleazy outfits,but the game I'm warning parents of goes all out. From this Dead or Alive 4 would be more appropriate for kids. One simple word of advice,rent games first before letting your kids play them.

what i mean is that this game doesn't let you off one bit and there no crying in fighting games unless you own any other gaming systems you need to buy this game..but this is not a fairly easy game maybe the first match in story mode is easy oh but then it get challenging and doesn't stop with the counters or the reversals again as the other doa's it doesn't give up on graphics but i'm all about the hd get a hd tv to play this in all it's glorius splender .... the jiggle and the impacts on every hit can really be seen ... just like ninja gaidan it's fairly hard but u have to try and try again ...sound is ambient and really engrossing ... have fun and buy it now so i can see you on live and bring it .....my name on live is "LoganX360." GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!

GET READY.......FIGHT!!!!!!!

I have always been a huge Dead or Alive fan. I got the game the first day it came out. I was a little disapointed in the graphics. The DOA graphics have always been beautiful but I guess I expected more since DOA 4 was on the 360. The game play is faster then previous versions and the moves have been tweeked a little. This gave me more of a challange. You have to think just a bit quicker to keep up. I guess it somewhat forces you to sharpen you gaming skills. I loved it. Techmo and Team Ninja is always the standard when it come to fighting games like this.
