Advantages: Great fun for 4

Disadvantages: 1 player mode

Right, Dead or Alive 2 – I’m coming with you! This is another great fighting game on the Dreamcast games console, and this time 4 of you can battle it out in some supreme Tag battle action – there’s plenty more to float your boat too, but the best point of the game is the multiplayer activity.

Gameplay – the controls are good, very easy to learn and some stunning moves can be performed with a little practice. Counter moves are impressive – learn the right button combination and you could become unbeatable!

The game plays really well, in all modes, aside from the slightly boring and empty story mode – daft stories, strange looking boss to beat!

Graphics – very, very good. No pop up, no glitches. Some very shiny and flamboyant outfits, some very interesting characters and levels! The graphics are probably better than Soul Calibur, that’s saying something!

The modes are plentiful, but as I say the main reason you should get this is in order to utilise all four of the control ports – great fun with 4 of you playing, the tag mode is excellent.

Overall for £20, or less this is a superb game, with the one player mode being the only let down. 5 Stars.

Tips: pick a fast fighter, they are usually the most effective, and have the best array of moves and attacks. Zak is probably the best to choose, although Helena is a very efficient fighter.

Smooth gameplay and lucious graphics. Get it!
