Dead or Alive 4 for Xbox 360

Pros: Beautiful backgrounds, more nuanced fighting engine.

Cons: The computer A.I. can be extremely cheap.

The Bottom Line: Easily the best DoA game to date. Lovely to look at, but also fun to play. Aside from some cheap A.I. on the computer's part, this is pretty much flawless.

Cons: the lag, some of the stages, oh and it's pervy reputation

The Bottom Line: Look, I aint no pervert, this really is a good game OK!!!

Review: It's a shame really, such a trivial little thing can ruin a reputation for so long. It was around 10 years ago that game developers Tempco got desperate in their attempts to compete with beat-em-up giants Namco and Sega. The game in question was Dead Or ...

Pros: New Characters, New counter timing, Amazing online, And much more

Cons: No Easy difficulty

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you are a fan of the genre. At least give it a try if you are not.

Review: Gameplay 5/5: Dead or Alive 4 (DOA4) is the newest addition to the infamous DOA series. DOA has always been known for its beautiful women, amazing graphics, and ease of entry. DOA4 tunes these up to make for the best game of the series. DOA4 is not ...

Pros: More fluent gameplay , cool multiplayer system

Cons: graphics look the same as previous original xbox version

Pros: Online play, new characters

Cons: Alpha 152

The Bottom Line: You should already own this!

Review: Dead or Alive 4 definitely didn't let me down. The graphics were beautiful, the characters were well defined, and the story was coherent. All in all, it is an excellent addition to the series. I bought this game because I am a huge devotee of the Dead ...

Pros: Fantastic graphics, smooth animations, excellent multiplayer

Cons: doesn't bring much new to the series

The Bottom Line: If you are a fan of the genre, buy it. In the world of fighters, they don't get much better than this.

Review: I'm a little torn on this game. I know it's a good game, but some many things bother me about it both in terms of gameplay and as an American male who doesn't have a thing for Japanese schoolgirls. Dead or Alive 4 is one more sequel in the ...

Pros: Kokoro

Cons: Eliot

The Bottom Line: I for one am eagerly awaiting Dead or Alive Xtreme Bowling. It's not like the DOA girls would need actual bowling balls though.

Review: A generation ago, Tecmo demonstrated the potential of Microsoft's Xbox, with the gorgeous fighter Dead or Alive 3. Though the game had some mixed reaction on the gameplay front, nobody argued that DOA3 was a visual benchmark for what the Xbox could do, ...

Pros: smooth graphics, fast game play, lots of characters, low price

Cons: dated game, but still a solid value. voice overs are annoyinig

The Bottom Line: It is a fun game, a bit hard at times (the final boss is lamely unfair), and a good overall price.

Review: The Dear or Alive series has been around for some time, known for its fast fighting engine and female heavy list of fighters. That is what this game is - a one-on-one fighting game. This version of it has been out for some time, and can be acquired ...

Pros: Graphics, New Counter Physics, New Characters, Xbox Live

Cons: Not Enough Has Changed From Previous Entries

The Bottom Line: Dead or Alive 4 impresses with some fixes to the design, but ultimately failed to hold my attention.

Review: My first experiences with the Dead or Alive series came with part 2 on the Dreamcast. I had long begun to skip out on fighting games until this point, and you could say that this is the game that brought me back in. Since then I've picked up it's sequel, ...

Pros: Demonstrates the power of the Xbox 360

Cons: Lack of innovation, cheap last boss, unbalanced, lag online

The Bottom Line: Either you loved Dead or Alive before or you did not. If you did not, then you really won't find any reason to get this one.

Review: Gameplay: 6 Graphics: 10 Sound: 5 Controls: 8 Longevity: 5 Overall: 68% (Average/3 stars) The Dead or Alive series has evolved quite a bit since it's debut on the Playstation 1 in 1998. Always pushing the graphical envelope, the series was ...
