I had this at some point when I was a teenager and it faded from memory. But I decided to pick it up again recently on a whim and I'm really glad I did! It's genuinely a ton of fun to play. I love how the Chronicle mode drip-feeds you all the game mechanics and ways to play while you're getting a crash-course on all the story of the first four games. The cutscenes in Chronicle mode range from fully-animated to 3D character models just standing or posed in place and "talking" without even their mouths moving. The inconsistency is a bit jarring at time, but the fully-animated cutscenes look fantastic. Unfortunately, the Tag battles are fucking dreadful, and sometimes you're forced to do them in Chronicle mode. But after finishing Chronicle mode, it's easy to ignore the existence of Tag battles thanks to the Arcade and Survival modes. I had a blast playing as Tina, Leifang, and Kasumi. If you have a 3DS and enjoy fighting games at all, you really owe it to yourself to give this one a shot!

Enjoying this so much has me really wanting to go back and play some of the older DOA titles as well.
