Awful, not even worth the Boing

By CHIRUNO (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

The game is horribly painful and really only revolves around Button Bashing or Countering every hit which both are essentially impossible. It was really only the Boing Physics that was the impressive and I was still hardly aroused.

Alright game

By Kangaroopoo123 (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

Dead or Alive 4 is just like an arcade game, with the story mode you have about 6 fights then you see an awsome Graphic scenario of the characters daily life. I wouldn’t really buy this game as it can get repetitive.

Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360) review

By David Hall (darkzero.co.uk)

Dead or Alive is back, bigger, badder and bouncier than ever. After last year's remakes of the first two in the series Tecmo have finally given us an all new instalment and all the familiar faces are back along with a few new ones including the much...

If you have an Xbox 360 and like beat 'em ups then you owe it to yourself to buy this game.

Tecmo's flagship series has arrived on the Xbox 360 with a bang and a good few wallops.

Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360)

By (cnet.com)

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 4 is similar to that game (right on down to the near-identical menu system), but it adds several new characters, new moves and abilities for returning characters, and a beautiful new coat of paint to all the proceedings. It doesn't defy...

Dead or Alive 4

By Randolph Ramsay (cnet.com.au)

Dead or Alive 4 is one of the must-have games for new Xbox 360 owners.

Tight, fast gameplay complemented by responsive controls ; Large list of characters to choose from, including new additions to the team ; Immersive and interactive environments ; Addictive online experience ; Looks amazing in HD

Sparring mode needs more fleshing out for newbie players ; No offline persistent versus mode ; Still not a bastion of political correctness

Dead or Alive 4

By Matt Peckham (oxmonline.com)

More bounce per pounce…

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

Not too different enough from DOAU

It’s called “Dead or Alive,” but does anyone ever die?

Dead or Alive 4

By Ryan Genno (gamingtarget.com)

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...

Despite my jaded nature, I’m still confident the big sequel here can do what the remake couldn't: redefine the fighting game as we know it

Dead or Alive 4

By Chris A.J. (snackbar-games.com)

Dead or Alive 3 was one of the Xbox's defining launch titles back in 2001, and Tecmo went all out on presentation for it to show just how much power the Xbox was capable of. While it just missed the launch, the series is back for the Xbox 360 with Dead...

A technically beautiful game and qualified fighter, DOA4 brings a worthy update to the series and utilizes the capabilities of the Xbox 360 to their fullest. With flawless graphics, great usage of Xbox Live service, and an improved fighting engine,...
