Great, if you don't mind the frustration...
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. Sure, it is true that there is no such thing as a truly balanced fighting game. But Team Ninja is so obviously dipping the favor towards the ninja characters (4 in total), that it's somewhat pointless to bother playing as any other character. You'll see what I mean after you've fought Ryu Hayabusa for the 70th time in a row...
One of the best fighting games I have ever played
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.
The Woes of Singleplayer
Fighting games have a sad tradition of horrible singleplayer experiences. Dead or Alive 4 continues this tradition wholeheartedly. It packs its singleplayer experience full of gruelingly difficult and frustrating opponents that can perform the trickiest combos at the drop of a hat. This would be fine on harder difficulty levels, but I'm talking about normal mode. There is no difficulty mode easier than normal, unlike in DOA 3, so if you can't take the heat and you don't want to dedicate your life to the game, don't bother.
The boss of the game, ALPHA-152, is stupidly difficult to beat. Memorizing her moves (as you will have plenty of time to do while she beats you again and again) does help ease the difficulty of the encounter, but it cannot be denied that victory is only possible when she decides to let you win. Fighting games typically work in a rock-paper-scissors sort of way, with the aforementioned items being replaced with attacks-blocking-throws. Well, ALPHA-152's throws (scissors) can bypass most of the attacks (rocks) in the game, and have the ability to do more than half of your life in one hit. To make matters worse, their animations take a long time. You can do nothing but watch helplessly as she pummels you into the electrified floor. And I almost forgot- she can teleport at will, escaping your attacks whenever she desires only to reappear behind you and snatch away your life.
So why play singleplayer at all? Because you have to if you want all the costumes and characters.
But the game isn't all bad. The graphics are beautiful. Most of the characters' animations are equally gorgeous, though some of the newer characters look like they need a bit more polish (La Mariposa's kicks). Most of the stages are nice and are about as ridiculous as you'd expect in any fighting game (dinosaurs?).
