First of all, I can't believe I'm writing a review for this game. I've never written a review for any video game but DOA4 is so terrible that I have to review it. What's the problem? The game is too hard!!! So I haven't dedicated my entire life to playing DOA4 for eight a hours a day...I'm sorry. Surely the developers wanted us to have fun? No, they wanted the game to mimic the grueling journey of becoming a martial arts master (including the thousands of hours that it would take to master any martial arts discipline)...well it is no fun to be beat 12 times in a row in the story mode (I was able to play through DOA3 on all difficulty levels and actually beat the game with several different characters). I have played almost all of the DOA games and I've always enjoyed the series but I will admit that I am no expert at these games. However, the other DOA games are so much easier to learn. And where is the easy mode? At least with easy mode, I could actually unlock some of the story

DOA is a different kind of fighting game. It's not just about combos and quick reaction times, it's about fighting with strategy and learning to anticipate your opponent's moves.
The core of this game is fantastic. It consists of a seemingly simple system of attacks (punches, kicks, etc), throws, and counters. Counters beat attacks, throws beat counters, and attacks beat throws. It's a rock-paper-scissors affair. However, the gameplay has far more depth to it than that, which results more in "feeling" the game out more than practicing combos and timing over and over again like most fighters.
However, the game's frustration level, in accordance with Team Ninja's style, is at times simply overbearing. Sometimes it seems like the CPU 'cheats' because it can anticipate your moves waaay too well. And the end boss character is one of the most frustrating bosses I've ever fought.
The only thing left to cover is the online play, which is fantastic only if you never get tired of ninjas.

Well I have played this a lot lately, and well what can I say this game is a must-have for your x360 collection.
This game is hard, I mean the normal setting is hard, and learning to play will be a pain if you have never played another DoA game. But that's what really makes the game fun, to be able to say that you can finish history mode or even time attack without losing once to the boss... that's just great.
Overall is a great game and I recommend you get it, there's still plenty people playing on Live and well for the price this is one of the best purchases you can make for you x360.
