Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360)

Fashionably late to the Xbox 360 launch, Dead or Alive 4 is an impressive feat of a fighting game that boasts some excellent, fast-paced action in addition to terrific good looks. Best of all, you can play it online over Xbox Live, virtually...

Dead or Alive 5 Review: A Step Closer to Maturation

A major improvement over previous entries, but DOA5 is still playing catch up with other games in the genre.

Dead Or Alive 5 Review

It could've been a situation with the word "disaster" written all over it. Itagaki and various team members from his famed Team Ninja departed with the company last year, leaving a couple of Tecmo's bigger franchises in doubt. But did the company...

As for the extras, you can unlock a few bonus fighters, including a couple of surprise entrants – Virtua Fighter's Akira and Sarah Bryant. They're actually great entries to the series, though you have to wonder if Sega is going to get some DOA faces in...

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit

Hell Yeah is an enjoyable 2D sidescroller that waxes nostalgic about classic games just as much as it establishes its own identity as a “how-to” guide to murdering monsters in ridiculous ways.

Dead or Alive 5 Review

Have you ever had tunnel vision?

Old-school; Story Mode teaches you each character; Character models and effects; Core fighting gameplay

Almost completely without New-school; But what the hell is going on?; Same old same old

If you're a fan of Japanese fighters, you won't find a more core-focused beatdown. The stringent reliance on the formula can be a turn-off, but there's a level of welcome simplicity in walloping your opponent with fists and feet. However, I think...

Dead Or Alive 4

Dead or Alive 4

More bounce per pounceâ€¦

Do we really have to point out how brain-blisteringly beautiful DOA4 is?; Best implementation of the seriesâ€™ reversal system

Not too different enough from DOAU

Itâ€™s called â€œDead or Alive,â€ but does anyone ever die?

Dead or Alive 4

Although I'm excited about the news of DOA4, I'm also sick and tired of all the one-on-one fighting games at this point. This was the reason I was so hard on Dead or Alive Ultimate in my review. Sure, the game looked and played fine, but because it...

Dead or Alive 4 (XBOX 360)

SYNOPSIS: The general story of DOA4 is the same as the story of DOA3: Ninjas stopping DOATEC, People working for DOATEC, Tina wanting to be a rock star, her dad trying to stop her, and a couple extras just there for fighting variety. This is really...
