The Bottom Line:

"Grows on you"

It has been 7 years we had a doa fighting game, when doa was absent, super street fighter IV, Mortal kombat 9 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 are roaming the fighting game community, and this came along. DOA5 takes place 2 years after doa4. and kasumi is fighting her clone, with helena helping along. the game play has one punch button, one grapple button, one kick button, and a throw button, and there are 2 new characters, rig and Mila. rig is a worker on the oil rig, while mila is a fan of bass, which kinda reminds me of sakura is a fan of ryu. the graphics look pretty good, and each fight, when your health is half down, you get to knock your opponent into a train, off the roof, and out of the window. and the animations look nice! and i like the roster of characters, there are so many to choose from, and this really amuses me, and the music is okay, i dont mind rap, as long its good. along with the voice acting, and the story. and the game is just plain fun! and its worth the preorder, and this game is good, but not the best compared to doa2. you must buy it. ;) trust me, its a good desert for ttt2. ;) and the other problems that theres no character themes, no arcade mode endings. but it makes up with a huge roster and great graphics, in the end, doa5 is a must buy.
