Isn't it backwards compatible? I haven't tried putting the JSRF disc on my 360... anyway, with the current prizes for Xbox originals in the marketplace I prefer to plug the original xbox and play the game on it.

I played the demo and I just didn't like it. The QTE sequences were all right, but the controls feel clunky, the outfit of the ninja is awful and the Spider boss at the end is too boring... I'll wait for Ninja Gaiden Sigma II and Bayonetta to get my dose of action games, meanwhile I'll keep playing Ninja Gaiden II.

That's the ending. For me it was quite nice; the fun part of the game was actually playing it, not watching the development of the story (I must confess I really enjoyed all the cutscenes, though). In fighting and action games the story is never important :P

For me it would be Ninja Gaiden II or Lost Odyssey, DOA4could also be on my list. This year I haven't seen a game to expect with so much anticipation.

Space Channel 5 Part 3, Gunvalkyrie 2,a new Panzer Dragoon, DOA5/X3 or a P.N. 03 sequel. Megaman 3 for Xbox Live Arcade would be nice too.

Well, I really liked the game. Yup, the intro's song is terrible and the online is kinda basic (it works fine, but still I like DOA4 online features a lot more). The diferences on each character timing for combos and many things more are what makes fighting games enjoyable, any other way it wouldn't matter to have different characters to choose since all of them would be the same thing, just with different looks.

As all games it requires time and practice. You should try checking a different approach, like Smash Bros or Power Stone. Personally I think SFIV is a great game, I do not like it more than DOA4, but still is one of my top 5 favorite games for 360.

1. Dead or Alive 4.

2. Ninja Gaiden II.

3. Street Fighter IV.

4. Lost Odyssey.

5. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.

The only way I have found so far is to block. All of the attacks I tried to use were ineffective.

I transferred my DOA4 save from my old 20GB drive to a new 120GB HDD without any kind of problem. I didn't try to do it with a memory card though, I used the data transfer kit included with the new drive. Maybe your save data is corrupted or something.

Or it could also be some sort of copy protection to avoid players copying game saves, some time ago I tried to copy my saves of DOAU and DOAX (original Xbox) to another Xbox, but the system wouldn't even give me the option to copy the saves to a memory card. It's possible that Tecmo did something similar to copy-protect the saves on DOA4.

I guess there are two or three DLC packs. The most interesting is the one that adds a new dungeon, it has 25 floors to explore (all look the same, though), new items and some of the toughest enemies I've seen, regardless of the level of your party. It also adds a new boss battle (really hard, I can't still beat it, even the Immortal from the backyard looks like a cute kitty compared with that guy); I suppose it's only for people who really likes the game, otherwise I wouldn't recommend to download it.

The other DLC pack gives you three items, one is the memory lamp (to view all past cutscenes) a ring and another thing, can't remember exactly. And the other DLC was just for people who preordered the game, I think.
