Oh interesting. My friends played the 3rd one quite a bit and these games don't suck as much as you'd think. They are fast paced and fun to watch, not to mention, they said it was one of the best fighting game they have played, next to DOA
The Storm series is just ew D:
Tell your friend to go back to Ultimate Ninja on the PS2 to see what's a fun to play fighter. And yes, DOA is quite enjoyable. More than SF at least.
