Dead or Alive 2 (PS2) Reviews

Dead or Alive 2 is a fighting series developed by Tecmo, it became Xbox exclusive after this one so this is the only one you'll see on the Playstation 2. Dead or Alive is a basic fighting game, there is a story mode for you to play in but it just seems to be a regular fight sometimes prefaced with a few lines from your ...  Read the complete review

Wicked man! I got this game as a present off a friend and I was never really quite into beat em up games but this was an exception. Just so many modes to play on each developed in there own way. There are several characters to choose from and each character has their own special moves and different techniques. The story mode is ...  Read the complete review

Then what better way to do it than playing a few rounds of Dead or Alive 2 on the playstation. It may not have the reputaion of the mighty Tekken but put in the ring together it could have a damn good go at fighting for the crown! This game is great fun. The graphics are fantastic, the action is thick and fast and the best bit ...  Read the complete review

When the Dreamcast arrived on the scene in 1999, there was only one fighting game to have, and that was Soul Calibur. Sure, there was Power Stone, which was a fighting game of a different colour, but in terms of pure 3D polygon prowess, there was no debate. Fast-forward to November 2000, and already there's a battle raging over ...  Read the complete review

I love this game. Masterfully rendered wrestling chicks go at it. How cool is that? There are a hand full of virtual hotties and a couple dudes that matched up from two to four players. That's right, tag team on foos. Graphics are by far the best I have seen since Soul Caliber for the dreamcast. All the characters are ...  Read the complete review

Dead Or Alive 2's graphics look quite good although not as detailed as Tekken's. Then you notice just how much is going on and get more impressed as you play. The major difference between the two games is that in DOA2 you are also able to damage part of the background scenery, jump down floors, etc. The inclusion of this in ...  Read the complete review

It has got everything blood guts and hardcore fighting. The graphics are mind blowing and if you want action look no furthur than here! so if you got a PS2 then buy it! ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 from Team Ninja is perhaps the only fighting game around to rival the mighty Tekken series of games. It combines fantastically realistic graphics with some explosive fighting action. This is a gem for PS2. The Gameplay Firstly, the control setup is simply amazing. It not only allows a full range of throws, combos, kicks, ...  Read the complete review

At the launch of the Playstation 2 in the US, many wondered what is the best game at that time. Most people think that it's Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore and I agree. I've never played such a great fighting game where you are totally in control of your character. Tons of moves, counters, throws, and the extreme realism of the game. ...  Read the complete review

Crowned champ at our recent Tekken Tag Vs. Dead or Alive 2 play offs, crammus takes a closer look at the game with the big.... personalities... Dead Or Alive never really got much attention on the PlayStation, its biggest feature (in more ways than one) if you listened to word of mouth, was that the female characters all had ...  Read the complete review

Are you willing to enter the DOA2 tournament and fight back? Many DC games do not please me easily. There are so many bad and o.k titles which have came out. Did this game fall in the, "good" category? well read through this review for the "kicking" answer. This game is rapid, cool, and good ...  Read the complete review

Fast, slick and loads of fun.This is definitely one of the best beat'em ups ever, but it may be just too hard for newbie fighters. Just by watching dead or alive 2 in action with its smooth,fliud movement can cause your amotions to run abit wild.The more shallow obsever will get all that from merely glancing at the mammoth ...  Read the complete review

This has to be THE game to buy. I have played almost every beat em up game there is but this one is by far the best. It has everything anyone could possibly want from a beat em up. * countless combos * excellent graphics * loads of backgrounds * brilliant characters * easy moves * Fighting ...  Read the complete review

I think game is ace, I ever think it better than PS2 Tekken Tag. The graphics of this game are superb and game play the too. It is quite hard to tell the difference between the movie sequences mode and the play mode. The Characters are cool looking with a variation of two costume but in you compete the story mode with all ...  Read the complete review

This game has to be one of the best beat 'em' up games I have ever played on my PS2, it has practically everything you want out of a beat 'em' up. The graphics are spectacular with the new Playstation 2's engine where you can see every little detail of the character and the sound, it is amazing, crystal clear ...  Read the complete review

If you played the original Dead or Alive, chances are you will mainly remember it for the female characters’…‘assets’. Again they are big and bouncy, but I should concentrate on reviewing the game, shouldn’t I? As you probably know, Dead Or Alive 2 is a beat’em up which takes place during ...  Read the complete review

Dead or Alive 2 is a fantastic fighting game, that manages to offer gamers a deeper level of game play than you might have thought at first. In my view it isn’t as good as Soul Calibur, but then nothing is – Dead or Alive 2 claims the honourable place as the second best Dreamcast fighting game, and that is something to be ...  Read the complete review
