The BEST fighting game ever. Polygons have never looked this good. Seriously, this game is a chick fest, seeing that some of the strongest players are women. The game looks amazing, the fighting system is very advanced and prevents against button mashing. Its a game of wills. I've once battled it out against a friend where for 30 seconds not a blow was landed due to reversal of reversals, mid air dodges, and quick relfex blocking. Definitely a button masher will get abused in this game and skill and THOUGHTFUL play will be rewarded. The horrible boss battle and lack of storyline doesn't taint the title much. A revamped DOA 2 hardcore coming to xbox should be interesting to play, though i will miss hitomi...
