Editorial Reviews :
While you may not be familiar with the original Dead or Alive--a run-of-the-mill fighting game most famous for the bouncing breasts of its female combatants--the sequel Dead or Alive 2 is a major-league contender that ranks up there with genre giants (including Soul Calibur and the Tekken series).
Dead or Alive 2 features drop-dead gorgeous visuals, with gracefully animated 3-D characters rendered in great (and in some cases, downright naughty) detail. Not merely scenic backdrops, the lavish 3-D arenas are also highly interactive: fighters get slammed and thrown against walls, and, in some cases, they can be thrown through windows and off ledges, with the camera viewpoint following the aggressor as he or she jumps down to the lower level of the arena to continue the punishment.
A game that plays as good as it looks, Dead or Alive 2 sports a rich combat system that's heavy on the counterattacks. Gameplay moves along at a blazingly fast pace, and the simple controls are easy to pick up on and make executing combo moves a breeze; this is a brawler that both button-mashers and hardcore gamers will enjoy.
Unlike other fighting games which contain hidden features that must be 'unlocked,' Dead or Alive 2 pretty much lays all its cards out on the table from the start. There are 12 fighters to choose from (each with at least one alternate costume) and seven modes of play are available (including tag battle mode and a two-on-two battle royal that up to four players can join). --Joe Hon
Buyer Reviews :
I've been playing games since before I could talk, and I have lived among games ever since. I have seen good and bad, seen revolutions, and hoped for the future. My picture of video game utopia has come one step closer, with Dead or Alive 2. Ever since I played video games, this was the ultimate outcome I wanted from the fighting game genre. This -IS- the best 3D fighting game available now, and in my opinion easily topples Tekken Tag, Virtua Fighter 3, Soul Calibur, Fighting Vipers, and other similar games from the elusive top.
On this GigaDisc are excellent character design, wonderful cinematography, incredible drama (for a fighter), superb music that enhances the whole experience, good voice acting, and simply the best background-visuals imaginable. You simply have to see the stages to believe it. All of this and it plays as well as the original, with all of the innovations and improvements you would expect from experts like Namco or Sega. Tecmo is the new king, for now. Hopefully they do their best to beat it, and hopefully the genre will improve further. Either way, this is a game that any gamer must have, to experience it and have a piece of history.
