Dead or alive has a great series out there. dead of alive 4 seems to be the most fun and most entertaining. You have some really cool attacks. Cool characters also. If you like virtual fighter or tekken you will love dead or alive 4.

There is a level for begginers. But if you can't handle exicuting half of the moves in Training (more than likely because you are hitting the buttons to slow), then you won't do well. I play several games and sometimes I don't come back to this one for a while. But if you want a hard fighting game, or think that this is hard, try Tekken. The secret to this game is learning your combos, knowing 4 counters, predicting when you should use the counters, ability to stop using the same moves over and over (you know, change it up a bit), and to know your opponent.
For some reason I counter better with Lei Fang. I fight humans best with Christie (may favorite character). I fight the computer best with Ein (second best with Hitomi). I have never played on Xbox Live, but I have a friend that is ranked somewhere in the hundreds in this game, and I mop him up. But you don't have to dedicate your life to getting good at this game. Just do what I do, don't play a game by the genre, but as the game individually. You wouldn't go into a shooter game the same way you would a RPG or fighting. So try applying that to this game. I can alternate between KOF (I am pretty good at), to MK (I can only rock 2 characters- I don't play MK much), to Soul Caliber (awesome), to Bloody Roar (awesome), to Tekken (very awesome), and Arcana Heart (pretty good) in any order and don't have any problems with the transistion. Just need a couple of moments to get use to the game (but I have that prob with all games).
But now to the game. The story runs fairly smoothly but sometimes it seems as though they were reaching out for an excuse to make a fight (i.e. Hitomi and Lei). Zach's ending (as always) is always comical (cartoony). They didn't get rid of the gay outfit the Zach wears either (you know the one, Just one word for it: Teletubbies). They do leave a lot of holes in the story, some get filled if you know the story from early in the series. They modified alot of the combos, Some for the better, some for worse. The wall counting system (how many times a person hits a wall before they just fall to the ground) has gotten better. It is easier to get up when knocked down (but for some reason the computer can jump on me and land an attack that is soley for when you are laying down, if they initiate the jump before I get up, while I am fully standing). They still need to change the term in Training from Standing, because if you are not touching any buttons from the get go- you are standing. They could call it Standing Up, or Up from Crouch. I think the word that they use in Japanese does translate to standing but in contect to standing up or to make stand (I need a better dictionary, I have four, but none of them have the full word that is used.
I am waiting for when they finnaly have Christie say (note if this does get used I want my money da---rn it)"Get lost and die". I am also waiting for when Hitomi can say, "Hitomi, power up!" in a more fluid english, she says it in english just with a VERY thick japanese accent. I don't even speak japanese, but what little bit I do say, I have a very soft american accent (and I prefer western japanese accent) but it is not so much that you almost don't understand what I am saying. And when are they going to get rid of the gay outfit? (Zach is american and he is dressing up like a teletubby, WTF people? WTF?)

Yes it's frustrating at times but I think the majority of the issues were patched and corrected. I'm not a young man anymore and my reflexes are not what they were but I didn't have much difficulty progressing in the game. The game is beautiful even though the game is now "old". Content wise it's your standard fare for a fighter. Good game overall .. I would have to disagree with everyone saying the game is too hard.

DEAD OR ALIVE 4 REVIEW January 14, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game was hard at first but then it got a helluva lot better. This game has awesome fighting moves,beautiful women and gorgeous graphics,and a terrific storyline that ties into the Ninja Gaiden games. When I started getting good with this game I was beating storymode with at least two people per day out of seventeen characters.(some of which you have to unlock along the way.)For each character you beat storymode with,they come with an ending video. Some of these ending videos are excellent and some are really wierd. Also after you beat storymode each character gets a new costume and a new character to which Halo fans might enjoy playing,and the character is the only one who speaks English while the others characters speak Japanese. This game is an excellent purchase and is definitely worth trying to beat. This game's so fun to me that I would rather stay home from school and try to beat time attack mode since I beat storymode and in turn unlock a fourth costume. Parents take note,some of the content in this game isn't kid-appropriate because of some of the ending videos,and the content descriptor of blood,violence,sexual themes,and partial nudity. However,parents should be more afraid of Rumble Roses XX because it also has a mature rating, but this one's for mild language,partial nudity,sexual themes,and violence. Trust me for the warning because I own that game along with the one I'm reviewing.One reason it's not for kids is because of the opening video which many parents would consider horrifying for their kids. Number two,their outfits,sure the girls from the Dead or Alive fighting and volleyball series may wear sleazy outfits,but the game I'm warning parents of goes all out. From this Dead or Alive 4 would be more appropriate for kids. One simple word of advice,rent games first before letting your kids play them.
