I like DOA for what it is: a shallow dial-a-combo fighting franchise. When you think about it it does exactly what Tekken does but a lot better. Tekken is a similar shallow dial-a-combo fighter, but it looks like crap, has equally bland characters, not nearly as nice looking graphics, no tag battle, and no Ninja Gaiden guy. And sexy chicks. So that's fine by me. I hope DOA2 is more than just a graphical improvement: the countering in that was kind of twinky.
