It's on sale at Toys'R'us right now so I picked it up for just 30 dollars and I have to say I'm really impressed so far. after playing both this and Super Street Fighter 4: 3D I much prefer this game to street fighter. The mechanics are a lot easier to grasp and the way they've implemented things makes it much easier for band new players of the series like myself to learn the basics. First is chronicles mode which provides a condensed version of the four DoA games storyline, while this won't keep long time veterans interested it allows new players to understand the general storyline of DoA as well as its charaters. Why chronicles mode is really helpful to new players though, is that many of the fights start out with a short tutorial in the begining going over some of the basic moves and how to pull them off, as I said while veterans of the series may feel bogged down by the pace of chronicles mode it's a god send to new commers. the other way DoA helps out those new to the series is through the implementation of the touch screen which shows a catolog of all the moves a fighter can preform and the button combinations nessesary to pull it off. this catolog will change as a move is executed narrowing down all possible moves as each button is pressed, making learning specific combo much easier.
