My verdict on DOA4: Single player: Bobbins. In order to beat the final boss, I simply removed my left hand from the d-pad and spammed kick. More advanced tactics didn't work. Online play: Bobbins. In order to cope with lag, someone had the bright idea of making the game run at 1/2 speed. Or 1/4 speed. Or slower. This, essentially, makes playing DOA4 online a complete waste of time. I've yet to have an online match run at full speed. Graphics: Lovely. Yes, it moves well, and it looks lovely on an HD set. But… Clipping: Bobbins. There's a terrible amount of clipping. The "realistic" hair does some very odd things at times, and the characters glitch into each other quite a lot. This destroys any illusion of graphical goodness. Overall verdict: Terrible. Good graphics (and bounce) do not a good game make. Quite how this became the best selling game in the UK, I don't know.
