Okay...I'll admit it. I was worried that the XBox might not look good on the big screen. I've always ripped on PS2 because the graphics are so pixelated and jaggy. The bad part about playing on a big screen is that little flaws turn into big flaws.

Well, I am happy to report that my fears were unfounded. DOA3 on my ten foot screen is absolutely breathtaking! The fighters are lifesize yet the detail is equisite! The environments are gorgeous. I find myself going into training mode just so I can look around undisturbed.

Great job, Team Ninja! Thank you, Microsoft!

(I've also found Nascar Heat is much more fun if you turn off damage effects and drive the track backwards at full throttle. I'm a rolling path of destruction, baby! And I love it!)
