This is my first game from the Dead or Alive franchise and I can say that I'm more than happy with my purchase. Before buying the game, I thought it was known for looking at female characters in sexy outfits rather than the game play. However, I was completely wrong; the game is actually very engaging. The fighting is not your ordinary fight game where you either hit, block, or throw. There's a technique called "hold" where you input a button along with a direction on the joystick to parry/counter-attack your opponent. You can only perform this successfully by examining your opponent's moves, predict his movements, and enter the correct inputs. Of course, you also have your standard punch, kick, block, and throw inputs beside the hold input as well. I have been playing this game for a month now and love it more each time I play.
Game play:
The fight is very engaging and not boring at all. There's story mode, versus mode, arcade mode, training mode, and online mode. You can also choose to play either a single character or a 2 character tag team for arcade, versus, or online mode. The tag team is really fun since you can choose 2 characters and switch them out during the fight.
Characters:
There are many characters to choose from, both males and females. I like how you can customize them by choosing different attire for your characters as well as having the option to change their hairstyle or having them wear glasses or not. You can get the different attires for the characters by unlocking them in fights. Some attires aren't unlockable and need to be purchased online.
Artwork/Graphics:
The artwork of the characters are phenomenal. Everything is very detailed from gross movements to fine movements such as eyes blinking during the win pose. The background is not as amazing as the characters but it's still pretty good. The cool thing about the background is that it is interactive, meaning you can alter the background during the fight and the scenery can change drastically. That is awesome in my book and makes thing interesting.
For beginners/intermediate/advanced:
This game is good for everyone, whether you haven't played a fighting game before or you have been playing fighting game your whole life. An advanced player can hone his skills in this game with the complexity and it's easy enough for a novice to play and have fun.
Would I recommend it:
Yes! I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in purchasing it and for those who collects fighting games.
