Dead or Alive 4 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Dead or Alive 4 was a bit over average--and that's it. The graphics were grand, especially the scenery. Storyline...I'm not much help. Considering that DOA4 was the first of all the DOA's I have ever played, I thought the storyline was extremely random. But I managed to understand the main storyline of it: Ninjas vs. bad people with an awesome fashion sense.

And speaking of fashion, why is it that the girls have to dress so skank-o-licious to be in this game? Stripper outfits...enhanced breast physics...wow!! I mean, Leifang was probably the most covered girl and she still had everything jumping around. Oh well, man's country eh?

The rest of the characters were pretty well done. Ayane on the girls side was way too powerful but she worked. On the guys side, they are all way too powerful in their own ways. Sure, there was blondie-shrimp guy that looked like he could be another girl and same with his co-partner/fighter Drunkie McDrunk...but even they were way too powerful for their own good. And my favourite character that I like to refer to as SUPERNINJA! (I think you know who I mean) I mean seriously, since when do antique shop owners know Ninjitsu THAT well!?

And let me just say this before I end this: I am a button masher. I blame Tekken at all lengths for my button mashing. And because of it, I severely got owned during my first tries at DOA. If you're a button masher, LOSE THE HABIT ASAP. You will get owned in this game, and it's a bad feeling.

Overall, this game was entertaining. The characters were good on both sides, but the game was a bit too flashy. Graphics made me play this game, graphics helped it earn a good grade from me. I only put 20 or so hours into the game cause the repetition of unlocking costumes and beating that seriously annoying Alpha Boss just made me go mad. If you're going to play it, go ahead. Just don't buy it.
