1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid purchasing this DOA4 game guide, March 18, 2006

I disregarded the previous review by LB on January 25th and i sorely regret it. This game guide does not tell you how to counter properly, guard breaks, and character strategies. On the back cover it says it shows you the best/worst match-ups but its nowhere to be found. Doesnt give you any tag combos at all, or online play instructions.

PS For goodness sake, learn to play a character other than Ryu Hayabusa, Jan Lee or Brad Wong. Everyone plays these characters online.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, January 25, 2006

This review is from: Dead or Alive 4 (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)

The back cover of the guide promisses "expert lessons". Where? It's just more general suggestions. I already know I need to learn the counter system to be effective at this game. The booklet with the game tells me that. HOW PRIMA? HOW DO I DO IT? There's no lesson. There's no how to. I'm still looking for the promised "gaurd breaks" list in the "character strategies" section. Sounds like it's something I'd really like to try. This guide makes it seem like an effective tool. Too bad that other then a general description of what a guard break will do for me, there's no actual instruction on the technique.

Great I know all the character moves that you can't possibly hope to accomplish while the computer has you in a 99999 punch juggle. I can get that info for free on gamefaq.com. I was actually better as a button masher at this game than I am armed with this worthless guide.
