Dead or Alive 2
- Dreamcast
Product Description
The world has become a very chaotic and disoriented place ever since the tragic murder of Fame Douglas, the sponsor of the legendary “Dead of Alive 1 World Combat Championship”. We must now rely on you to ensure that the world returns back to a state of peace.Editorial Review
While you may not be familiar with the original Dead or Alive–a run-of-the-mill fighting game most legendary 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 splendid (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 parapet, and, in some cases, they can be thrown owing to 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 excellent as it looks, Dead or Alive 2 sports a rich combat system that’s heavy on the counterattacks. Gameplay moves by the side of at a blazingly quick pace, and the unadorned controls are simple to pick up on and make executing combo moves a breeze; this is a brawler that both button-mashers and hardcore gamers will delight in.
Unlike other fighting sports meeting 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

After playing DOA Ultimate for Xbox, people may be tempted to buy this version for Dreamcast. Don’t bother, this version for Dreamcast is extremely dull. It has zero replay regard. This game is garbage compared to the better Xbox versions.
Other Dreamcast sports meeting that are 100 times better: Virtua Fighter 3, Soul Calibur, and Scheme Justice. These 3 sports meeting are brilliant and are only available on Dreamcast.

It’s no Soul Calibur. Lacks alot of extras… I mean c’mon – of course I want a splendid arcade port, which this is, but it’s for a console… where are the extra’s? The layout and character design just plain ….. Just compare the quality of the voice acting in DoA2 with Soul Calibur and you’ll see what I mean.

Horrible. Terrible controls, clunky, clumsy character movement and really simple to beat. Only thing that deserves praise is the nicely done character renderings. Oh…and the storyline of the game DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! Go on, not anything to see here…Soul Calibur is still the better game here.
