35User Rating: 3 out of 5

Review title of Randy Cruel Ped or Alive 6?

Still maintains the most fun fight system, IMO, but several missteps and off-putting decisions make this my least favorite DOA since DOA1. Story Mode is a major step down from DOA 5's and it revolves around the new characters too much. This brings me to my biggest issue with the game; the new characters. Diego is okay and I can deal with a female Tengu but the addition of 3 child like girls is unnecessary and unwanted by a vast majority. To make it worse, 1 of them has a playmate of the year body and then the face of a 16 year old (and even more disturbing; the voice and mannerisms of a 9 year old). This change in focus has moved DOA from a cool fighter with ninjas and sexy grown women into something all together different where the coolness and acceptable (or tolerable) adult appeal is now gone and been hugely overshadowed by the constant spotlight on these 3 out of place children. Add in the removal of tag battle and still no treasure battle type mode... and yeah, 3 stars.
