    Well, the game is solid. Anyone used to playing DOA4 will know what to expect. Graphics are nicer and there are some great tweaks they have added. The story mode sucks, but that's kind of expected.

    BUT...you get like 1 day online and you have to pay 800 points for a pass. Not great if this is a rental. Also the pass only lasts 1 year! September to September.! This sucks big time, and for the first time since Dead or alive 2 I won't be purchasing a copy.

  • Poor Attempt

    Rated - 1.5 stars

    Very dissapointed in the game. The story line was very poor, the graphics are also really poor. the game play of the fighters was interesting, was different, but you have to pretty much button bash straight from the start, if you dont get first hit in its very hard to come out of the combos the computer uses one after another and this wasnt on Legendary setting either. I thought the controllers were hard to get used to as there are so many different types of moves and some of them are extremely hard to get used to.

  • Lives Up To Its Predecessors

    Had this game on my rental list but,being a fan of DOA4,decided to buy straight away following a minor windfall.

    Game is an excellent successor to the line with much improved graphics. I agree that the storyline is tenuous,as was that with Tekken 6, but you don't play this type of game for the narrative...On the online pass issue, Voodoochilli, if you purchase the game new, the online pass is free courtesy of an in-pack code.

    story mode is very random and dosnt make much sence dont see the point in it. also found it to be a very easy game this is nothing close to a fighting game like tekken or mortal kombat .
