Dead or Alive 2 (DC) Reviews

The Dreamcast was a very fortunate console when it came to beat em ups - it managed to get a lot of the most revolutionary fighting games of the 2000s and late 90s, including Dead or Alive 2, a visually impressive fighting game that introduced many revolutionary elements to the fighting series, perhaps most notably the idea of destructible ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 is still one of my favourite 3D fighters. The Dreamcast was built for arcade games like this and it shows. The graphics are still appealling now. Characters and backgrounds are rendered smoothly and movements are fluid and natural. The game boast an interesting bunch of fighters. There's some typical characters like the ...  Read the complete review

When Street Fighter II first debuted in the early 90s, it reintroduced the two-player competitive fighter in a big way and made the genre one of the most popular for years to come. The game was also notable for having only one controllable female character, Chun Li, amidst the cast of testosterone-filled hulking brawlers. Nearly a decade later and ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes when a game is released for a system, one must sit and ponder its intended audience to properly portray how the game fulfills its mission. With Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore, the audience is twofold. On one side are the players who are just tired of Tekken Tag Tournament and are looking for something fresh and new. Folks, this is your game. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

This game is the most addictive beat em up game on the dreamcast! its good to look at, (just ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 had a lot to compete with upon release with Tekken Tag Tournament. Tekken Tag was made out to be the best, probably because the good reputation of previous Tekken games and corporate muscle. Plus, the original Dead or Alive was only available on the Dreamcast so gamers may not be that familiar with the game. Despite Tekken Tag ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 was the first game I played on the DC and the one that led me into beat-em-up heaven. Before I start i'd like to point out that I will never award a game of this genre 5 stars, purely because I have never played one that lasts for more than a couple of weeks. While the game is light years ahead of any other beat-em-up i've ...  Read the complete review

Everybody says that Beauty is skin deep, while this is true, this game is stunning to look at as well as play. But once you get under the surface of the game, you will realise that this is a truly great game. The fighting style is well balanced but the fights do seem to have the same rhythm to them. For example you will perform ...  Read the complete review

This game is simply stunning. I cannot express how gorgeous it looks to anyone reading this. At first I thought the intro was just rendered cut scenes, but half of it was the actual in-game graphics! Most of the hype for the game comes from the Ladies assets that have the habit of moving rather a lot while fighting, but don't let this ...  Read the complete review

It’s not all boobs in Dead or Alive two, although there are still the girls its just there boobs aren't as bouncy ase they were before. The girls play still play a significant role in the game. Dead or Alive two is a beat em up. It’s not quite your average beat 'em up though; Dead or Alive 2 stands out with the likes of Soul ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 is a superb fighting game on the Dreamcast – almost as good as the 10/10 rated Soul Calibur, but doesn’t quite match it in terms of longevity. The graphics are absolutely astounding – you won’t believe the advances in video game technology! The game offers a real sense of atmosphere, with some pumping ...  Read the complete review

The original Dead or Alive was an interesting game. Based on Sega Model 2 arcade hardware and sporting a combat system which leans heavily towards a parrying system, Dead or Alive had two especially interesting features. Firstly, the outer edges of the arena was known as the ‘danger zone’ and knocking an opponent down in it threw them ...  Read the complete review

Already word of mouth has turned Dead Or Alive 2 into a must see, it's combination of Soul Caliber quality beat em up action and innovative new features making it one seriously hot ticket to martial arts heaven. Developed simultaneously for DC and the arcades, it's a visually astonishing creation, with multiple battle areas with battles ...  Read the complete review

Dead if you ask me. The guy's clearly a moron! Some babbled Japanese gibberish crap about cloning (well isn't it always?), memory loss, personal passions and private missions. Please. I'm sure the paying customer would have been more forgiving if the story writers had just written at the start of the game: 'Sorry but we ...  Read the complete review

This is a very good beat 'em up, but is a bit simplistic at times. It is possible to get through the entire game using just one or two moves, and it doesn't have all the extras of some of the other games out there. One of my main complaints about the game is that all you get for completing it is extra outfits for the character you ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 is an unbelievably sharp beat-em-'up where curvaceous babes do kung foo and wrestling on each other on a variety of tasteful outdoor locations. Not only is it fantastic to look at, it's a corker to play. The fighting is unbelievably fluid with move feeding into countermove and characters whincing whenever they've been ...  Read the complete review
