| MikeRox said: I picked up DOA5+ the other day from ShopTo. I don't generally enjoy Beat Em Ups as I'm so bad at them, but thought it'd be pretty nostalgic from my time on DOA2 on the Dreamcast. Damn it's actually a LOT of fun! working my way through the story mode at the moment. Up to about level 25 on it. The combat is really smooth and works great on the Vita. The visuals are actually stunning in places. I really can't wait to see Tecmo-Koei's future projects based on how well Team Ninja have got to grips with the system (comparing this to Ninja Gaiden). Really looking forward to Toukiden in Feb and may grab Ninja Gaiden 2 in the meantime. |
It does look pretty stunning, I'll agree with that. Really smooth and characters/environments look great, aside from the odd hiccup (i.e. character's hands are really weird).
But man, the "story" in that game pissed me off. Considering it's the first multi-plat release since DOA2, I really think they should've done more to simplify things than they did. Going from character to character getting into scraps just made no sense to me, and the stuff towards the end with Ryu & Kasumi just confused the hell out of me. I don't think I even understood what happened.
I think I'd have preferred a more traditional approach where you can play through each character's storyline separately and see their version of events, rather than seeing the whole storyline told piece-by-piece through each character.
S'part of the reason I traded it in. I'll just cross my fingers and hope that Tekken Vita comes sooner rather than later.
