User Rating: 9.5 | Dead or Alive 4 (Platinum Hits) X360
Dead or alive is one of the best fighting games i have every played, even tho tekken is also very good dead or alive has it own style, The layered stages are amaing when you can knock you enermy throw a window, or down a flight of stairs and thake your battel to a different area.

The game player from DOA4 is very good, nothing much really to complain about, its very easy to understand and very understandable on how to play the game, it may take you a while before your very good at the game as they are a number of different way that you can fight in the games, they are also a lot of very complex moves and grabs in the games, some of the hard moves to pull of with would be with, Hayate, Ryu Hyabusa and Lisa.
also when your playing online you need to understand the fighting style that your going to use, a lot of people like to fight with large combos take large amounts of health of at a time, but other like to simple take small amounts of health of in small dosses. to help you stop them from takeing large amounts of health from you simply countr their attack and it will reverse thier attack on them take damage.

They are a number of different character in the game with different fighting style.

Online is also pretty good. There is hardly ever any lag even with mediocre connection. Of course you'll run into a few matches where it's like a slide show, but they are really rare and expected in any online game. The lobby system is fun since you can run around and watch fights while you wait your turn. There's still a lot of people playing this game. It's generally easy to see the person's skill level by looking at there record and rank, even though those can be deceiving, for obvious reasons. I sometimes find it annoying that a lot of rooms require you to watch for a long time before you get a chance to fight. Even then, you probably won't get too much playtime unless you keep winning, since most rooms are winner stays. It may be really frustrating for beginners, since you'll lose a lot before learning to play properly.
