I'll give it an 8.9/10 for many reasons
+Graphics, characters models and stages are outstanding!
+Gameplay is very addictive & it so much fun to put hours into getting better.
+Free play is back!!!!! lol
+Lives up the hypeness
+command training is back once again
+Its on PS3!!!!!
+Story mode is waay better than DOAD's
+Better mechanics than DOA4
+Every female character looks sexier & they're no longer skinny like a crackhead, so this means that they're thick this time around. Just take a good look at Tina for example. LOL
+The impact of the attacks (looks & sounds) is one of the best parts about DOA5.
-textures looks like N64/PS1 & the colors are washed out
-Story mode is retarded but some parts are pretty cool
-Buffering system is garbage, input timing is weird & movement is stiff, Tekken has a better buffering system, the controls on DOA5 is a BIG disappointment.
-The worse A.I. in the series, input reading is some fucking bullshit, cpu can throw you anytime they want (thanks to the shitty controls).
-Stupid unjustified nerfs, some favorite moves/combos are missing.
-too many glitches
-Art style (stages) are bland compare to DOA4, DOA3 & DOA2U
-Music is borrrringggg to listing to.
-No team battle, No tag survival & No Ein & Leon
-Heard terrible things about online which is very disappointing.
-No custom soundtracks for the PS3 version.
Overall I think DOA5 is one of best in the series & I think it destorys every DOA expect DOA3. Its a awesome game but it has some serious issues.
