With characters that look like Angelina Jolie squeezed into fetish wear, it's easy to forget that D.O.A. 4 is a kick ass martial arts fighting game. But it isn't just the best looking brawler around—it's also the deepest, as designers Team Ninja have complemented the game's responsive controls with hundreds of cool combo moves and tons of unlockable characters, outfits, and arenas—including everything from a busy Vegas street to a dinosaur petting zoo. Even better, it has numerous gameplay options, including four-player online tag-team battles and an often hilarious Story mode that'll have you fighting for honor, revenge, and…uh, lettuce. (Hey, we don't make 'em, we just play 'em.)
