    I am a huge fan of DOA4 what I like about DOA4 is the perfect rank system and the 16 player online. I know this has a 4 player online mode player match system but I think thats enough, do you think I should rent it or is it so good that I should buy it, actually I went to blockbuster a couple days ago and it was all rented out so forget waiting to rent it, its just a question of BUY now.

    If you have to ask, rent it and see if you like it. If you do, buy it. If not, don't.

    im not sure how 16 player player match would be good as ud be waiting to play for 30 mins while it rotated through everyone, the 4 player player match system works well. I bought it and wasn't disappointed

    I think it's worth a buy. The online works pretty well... I was only disappointed with the extremely short story mode.

    Rent it 1st, then buy. I have the game for my PS3, and I like it for the most part. The only bad think about the game is the short story mode.

    Rental, maybe not even a rental. It's not that it is a bad game, it just isn't worth it considering all the great games coming out soon. If you need a fighting fix, find some old compilations, or wait for SFIV.

    Since you just said fighters get repetitive in your other topic. Why do you have 2 topics? but I would say buy if you like fighting so many options and online I still play it about 2 hours at least daily it is great

    spammers yeah I hate them which there was a anti button masher achievement for being able to do 80% of your characters moves than you unlocked the anti button masher server. What is cruel about tower of lost souls it is pretty easy just have to switch characters and styles

    "Since you just said fighters get repetitive in your other topic. "

    Cause im still thinking of buying this game, I own DOA4, DeFjam icon, virtua fighter 5 and dragonball z, when I get bored of 1 that means im bored of all because its the same thing, fighting. Then the only game im left with is Halo 3. I had sc2 but I dont know if this game will end up like Vf5/

    I got bored of it within a couple days when I was renting it. That's probably because I am not a fan of fighting games, but I would say rent first and give it a try.
