I got this game in a bundle with my xbox 360... I will have to say that I would never have bought this off the shelf and for good reason. This is a great example of how a company can throw some of the best graphix out there into a complete pile of crap. The game has less content to it then the first street fighter, online play is a complete joke, and the controls are extremely sloppy. Not only would i recommend not buying this game, I would recommend breaking or burning it if you got it in some package.

what the hell !!!

I'm mainly just writing this to disagree with some people. I don't play many fighting games and when I bought this game I took it out of the box and played it and enjoyed it. If you expect to beat the game in the first five minutes then this isn't your game there's a learning curve as with any game but it isn't that hard. You can play against people you skill level online so if you don't want to invest time learning 10 hit combos you can still have fun.

Good, clean, fighting action

The Dead or Alive series continues in its usual traditions while enhancing the core gameplay. The overall fighting action is noticeably faster than DOA Ultimate. New moves abound for each character and the three new characters add to the mix in interesting and unique ways.

Definitely a recommended title for any fighting game fan.

AWESOME game to play on the XBOX 360 game system

I've been excited about DOA4 for a long time now. I was thinking about DOA3 when I first got my xbox and DOAU when that came out, but I decided to wait. The wait paid off. The game is amazing! The graphics are unbelievable (except the hair that goes through the body and looks like blocks). The scenery, lighting, and color are all very amazing. I'm not sure if this is true of the other games in the series (this is my first one) but this game is one of the hardest and most frustrating games I've ever played! It is up in the ranks of Midnight Club. Unless you are a pro, get used to an annoying female voice saying "KO! You Lose!" It seems that every move is countered and it is almost impossible to win. I admit, I took the time (5+ hours) to beat all of the different character's story modes and it is hard, but fun. Even though it will take a while to get good at the game, it will be fun after a while. I would suggest buying this game for the sheer beauty, and the fun of the gameplay if you are willing to lose about 5 times as many fights as you win. Even though Team Ninja and Tecmo created quite possibly the hardest fighter (I've ever played), they still have themselves a winner.

There is a level for begginers. But if you can't handle exicuting half of the moves in Training (more than likely because you are hitting the buttons to slow), then you won't do well. I play several games and sometimes I don't come back to this one for a while. But if you want a hard fighting game, or think that this is hard, try Tekken. The secret to this game is learning your combos, knowing 4 counters, predicting when you should use the counters, ability to stop using the same moves over and over (you know, change it up a bit), and to know your opponent.

For some reason I counter better with Lei Fang. I fight humans best with Christie (may favorite character). I fight the computer best with Ein (second best with Hitomi). I have never played on Xbox Live, but I have a friend that is ranked somewhere in the hundreds in this game, and I mop him up. But you don't have to dedicate your life to getting good at this game. Just do what I do, don't play a game by the genre, but as the game individually. You wouldn't go into a shooter game the same way you would a RPG or fighting. So try applying that to this game. I can alternate between KOF (I am pretty good at), to MK (I can only rock 2 characters- I don't play MK much), to Soul Caliber (awesome), to Bloody Roar (awesome), to Tekken (very awesome), and Arcana Heart (pretty good) in any order and don't have any problems with the transistion. Just need a couple of moments to get use to the game (but I have that prob with all games).

But now to the game. The story runs fairly smoothly but sometimes it seems as though they were reaching out for an excuse to make a fight (i.e. Hitomi and Lei). Zach's ending (as always) is always comical (cartoony). They didn't get rid of the gay outfit the Zach wears either (you know the one, Just one word for it: Teletubbies). They do leave a lot of holes in the story, some get filled if you know the story from early in the series. They modified alot of the combos, Some for the better, some for worse. The wall counting system (how many times a person hits a wall before they just fall to the ground) has gotten better. It is easier to get up when knocked down (but for some reason the computer can jump on me and land an attack that is soley for when you are laying down, if they initiate the jump before I get up, while I am fully standing). They still need to change the term in Training from Standing, because if you are not touching any buttons from the get go- you are standing. They could call it Standing Up, or Up from Crouch. I think the word that they use in Japanese does translate to standing but in contect to standing up or to make stand (I need a better dictionary, I have four, but none of them have the full word that is used.

I am waiting for when they finnaly have Christie say (note if this does get used I want my money da---rn it)"Get lost and die". I am also waiting for when Hitomi can say, "Hitomi, power up!" in a more fluid english, she says it in english just with a VERY thick japanese accent. I don't even speak japanese, but what little bit I do say, I have a very soft american accent (and I prefer western japanese accent) but it is not so much that you almost don't understand what I am saying. And when are they going to get rid of the gay outfit? (Zach is american and he is dressing up like a teletubby, WTF people? WTF?)
