Remember the old days when pushing an opponent out of the ring was considered an instant win? Remember getting frustrated with the guy who could counter anything? Remember thinking the ratio of male to female characters is a little chauvinistic? Dead or Alive fixes many common issues with the... Read full review »

Dead or Alive was a minor hit in the arcades, and wasn't long in making it's way to the homes of Saturn and PlayStation owners, but it didn't exactly set the gaming world alight, and was really only famous for the outrageous way in which the female characters dressed and how their breasts bounced...

Pros Eye popping graphics that almost defy Dreamcast physics
Cons So short, it looks like a premature release, illogical cutscenes
Recommended it? Yes

One of Dreamcast's most hyped up titles, Dead Or Alive 2, is a masterpiece of visual effects - so much that it looks like GameCube or PlayStation 2 standards.

In this fighter, you begin by selecting one of several fighters (assuming you are playing the single player mode), each with his... Read full review »

This is one of my first reviews. I'm starting on a game that has probably been reviewed to death and is no longer in the public eye, but I'm just getting my feet wet.

Before I start, I must point out that I do not own this game. However, I do think that having played it for at least 30 hours in a single weekend qualifies me to write a decent review. That being said.

Pros Amazing graphics; simple controls; fast gameplay and smooth animation
Cons Might force a young lad into puberty; offensive to some
Recommended it? Yes

I'm almost ashamed to enjoy Dead or Alive 2 as the thing relies so heavily on exploitation that it's almost laughable. The main idea behind this game is simple. Tecmo made some very attractive models of well-proportioned women and put them in skimpy costumes that reveal plenty of cleavage. Then, of... Read full review »

I can recall when the PS2 was released, it's benchmark to the Sega Dreamcast was Dead or Alive 2 . After critiques nit-picked the two to death, the overall outcome was one of disbelief.

Dead or Alive 2 is a good game that could have been even better. The graphics are probably just as good if not better than Soul Calibur's, especially in terms of the woman characters. They look so real you just wanna reach out and grab them, literally. But the great characters can only last so... Read full review »

I'll admit that I've been spoiled on the jaw droppingly gorgeous Soul Caliber (and comparing the two is inevitable), but DoA 2 really gives the ol' Caliber a run for its money in the gameplay department.

Along with Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2 is one of the best looking games for Dreamcast. The stages, the graphics, the fighters are all well done. The music is well above average for a fighting game, and the ability to throw your opponent several tiers down in a multi-leveled stage is a fun twist... Read full review »

What a perfect game. This is the game I have been waiting for since Mortal Combat came out. The 3D graphics are mind blowing, right on par with Soul Calibur.

Dead or Alive 2

Thought you'd revived your social life after countless couch hours playing Soul Calibur? Guess again. Dead or Alive 2 brings more phenomenal fighting action to the Dreamcast with the gorgeous graphics and incredibly fast gameplay that Sega fans expect. Dead or Alive 2's character- against- character action takes place in gorgeously rendered locations ranging from a cathedral to a moving elevator cage. In a special twist, characters can battle in multiple locations in many of the areas and interact with the environment. This means that the cathedral window is more than just a pretty background--it's just waiting for an opponent to be hurled through it and onto the fighting platform below. Perhaps the coolest feature of all is the Tag Battle mode--available to one-, two-, and four-player games--that enables fighters to summon a teammate into the action. A total of 12 male and female fighters are available, each boasting a slew of basic and special attacks, tag-team combos, reversals, and throws.
