The characters are well detailed with some major issues. First of all they look exactly how they've been looking for the past two installments the only difference is there clothing has a textured look ( which is a little weird, it's like cartoons with cloths). Also there is a problem with there hair going in and out of there bodies , it can be over looked , but I think it shouldn't be. We all paid over $400.00 + for the 360 plus accessories. The amazing part of this title are the backgrounds. The water effects and animals that attack you while your fighting are amazing. With that being said the on-line counterpart is almost non-playable the severs lock-up all the time forcing you to manually power down you xbox 360 and reboot. You may get one good match in and then boom you either looking at A black screen or looking at the winner posing for ten or twenty minutes. It has also locked up on me while I was playing off-line. So I give this title an 7.8 rating .... Great game with great problems. Game play would be better if on-line was up to par with it's previous title - Dead Or Alive Ultimate.
