Product Description: The girls from Dead or Alive are back! The usual mix of stunning graphics, accessible gameplay and bouncing chests combine with an all new online mode for one of the most feature packed fighters ever.
Amazon.co.uk Review::
In a nutshell: The girls from Dead or Alive are back in the Xbox 360’s first ever beat ‘em-up. The usual mix of stunning graphics, accessible gameplay and bouncing chests combine with an all new online mode for one of the most feature packed fighters ever.
The lowdown: In hardcore beat ‘em-up circles Dead or Alive is often sneered at for being too shallow, but although it may not have the depth of some of its rivals this is the perfect game for first time fighters. The combat has been tightened up since the first game, so that it’s much harder to perform counters and there are less overly powerful super moves. One thing that hasn’t changed is the amazing graphics, particularly the various backdrops with a fight in a market where every apple on every stall can be sent flying. The game is still relentlessly sexist in its portrayal of women but treat it as Carry On Virtua Fighter and you won’t be disappointed.
Most exciting moment: Countering everything your opponent can throw at you and then knocking them all the way down the stairs of the Temple on the Mountain stage.
Since you ask: One of the best unlockable secrets in the game is the chance to play as Spartan-458 – a female version of Master Chief from Halo. She even gets her own level based on Nassau Station.
The bottom line: A showcase for the power of the Xbox 360 and a fun, accessible beat ‘em-up to boot. HARRISON DENT

I have to say that I am quite a fan of the Dead Or Alive franchise and have many of their games ranging from the first to DOA Xtreme 2. I recently purchased this little gem for my trusty steed and havn't been able to put the controller down! So far I have spent 95% gaming time doing story mode repeatedly with various characters to unlock their costumes and the fights start off fairly easy but soon get hard. An example is when you get to fight Kasumi's evil clone you'll find you'll have you're hands tied probably as she is incredibly fast and surpirisingly strong for a small lass when it comes to her attacks. I mean I even found her difficult when fighting her as Ayane, one of the best fighters in the series! Zack is greatly improved upon as ... Read More:

Well it's certainly not dead, not at all. This was my first experience of a dead or alive game, largely because I fancied a new 360 game and one that was different to my others (first person shooters, racing...).
This is one of the only games of its type for the new console generation, so naturally you'd expect to find flaws of some sort. Not only this, but this game was released near the 360's launch, meaning the chances of the game using the full power of the console are abysmal. But it must use some grunt, it has to be said. Silky smooth motion combined with sharp, high definition visuals and the physics engine which has to be admired ;). Not only does this game have eye candy in plentiful supply, but the loading times, I must ... Read More:

One of the most enduring beat-'em-ups gets its fourth incarnation making it onto the XBox 360, complete with super-slick combat moves (punches, kicks, blocks, counter-attacks, throws and other close-quarters techniques) and female characters with the famous bouncy breasts that have permeated the series right from the very first game. There are also some cool-looking male characters to control, too, with some hidden characters that you can unlock once you have completed the story mode with certain characters.
As well as the story mode, you can also do modes such as time-attack (complete the game in the fastest time you can), survival (try and survive fighting against each character one after the other). There are also some camera modes ... Read More:

This game is not for button mashers if your that type go to tekken. It is very hard but interesting at the same time the AI is intelligent and hard to defeat giving the game that extra "I HAVE TO WIN " feel. Multiplayer is great, remember dont cry if the AI is too intelligent for you

I found 'Dead Or Alive 4' to be a very difficult game. The only fighting game I have ever enjoyed before was 'Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance' on the PS2 and that was mainly because it wasn't too hard for me.
In the right hands this is probably a great game, as other reviews have stated. The graphics are beautiful and the girls are as pneumatic as ever. The arenas are varied and most are on several different levels, some have obstacles of their own that can cause you damage e.g. cars.
Online play is there but I didn't experience it when I owned the game.
Sound is disappointing. Background music is bland and the voices are all in Japanese with subtitles. I know this adds to the authentic 'arcade' feel but I would ... Read More:
