DoA Dimensions is amazing to a noob of the series

[MaxwellGT2000]

This is the first DoA I've ever bought, I played DoA2 on the PS2 at a friends before but I was never able to grasp the fighting mechanics, do any amazing combos, and it didn't look all that impressive either.  DoA Dimensions changed that, just picked it up today, I've been playing through singleplayer all day, it not only helps you learn the fighting mechanics (with good pacing and gradual build up) it also tells the complete story of the series, so any newcomer like myself can easily jump in, learn, and won't be lost on the story of the past 4 titles.  

Also I believe this game trumps Super Street Fighter IV in a LOT of ways, SSFIV has lite controls sure, but DoA:D takes that a step further, if you start off a combo the list of combos leading from that first attack pop up on screen, so you can either learn the list or you could tap the move for each button press and execute the combo that way, so it allows for MUCH more freedom than SSFIV and unlike SSFIV actually helps teach me the fine mechanics of the game.

Couple this with a good number of characters, many costumes for each, more coming in DLC via spotpass, and having really detailed stages... it makes DoA a very impressive fighter and quite the contender.  If you love combo and counter heavy technical fighters DoA is for you, if you don't know much about them, well DoA is probably the best entry point ever, and for those that are seasoned vets of the series... well there's finally a proper DoA game on the go, not that PSP game taking pictures of the girls (though you can do that in this game as well using the 3DS camera to help no less! )

Basically don't pass this game up, many people whining about wanting games on their 3DS, if you like fighting games at all, it's for you.
