So I'm sure there are a lot of people who really hated this game, and I can understand why. This is a really good fighting game, I've always liked the DOA games and this one is no exception. The game looks fantastic for starts, The graphics for the levels was very nicely done. The game is actually quite challenging. Unlike in 3 where I could do the same combo as Christie over and over again and win all my fights, in this game you actually have to learn how to play as each character to be good. It takes awhile to get used to the counters but they're worth learning. There was one VERY BIG problem with this game and that was playing it online. It was very rare for me to find a room online that wasn't lagging. The lag online pretty much turns the game into a turn based fighter. I advise anyone who wants this game for the online multi-player to stay away from is, this game just wasn't meant for it. For anyone who wants a fairly decent fighter, I'd say that this would be the game fr you.
