Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore for PlayStation 2

Pros: A lot of different modes to play
Cons: Beating the story mode is easy, and the endings are pretty dumb.

I must be honest with you. After I played Tekken Tag for the Playstation 2 system, I thought that I would never like a fighting game ever again. Yes Tekken was really that bad. (See my review on Tekken Tag for more information on that game)...

Pros: nice graphics, good game play, cool characters, nice arenas
Cons: the difficulty of getting out of a combo

Well...since I rented Bloody Roar 3 a little while ago from Hollywood Video, I’ve had non-stop thinking about the fighter genre. I had been looking up games on the internet for the PS2 and the PSX trying to find some fighter games that looked...

Pros: gameplay
Cons: everything else

Now a couple days after I received my playstation 2, my friend came over and showed me some of the games he got. I was dying to see this one, because I was excited to see what the already great game would look like on a more powerful system, however...

Pros: New costumes and extras to unlock.
Cons: It's not worth buying if you have the DC version already.

Or, maybe not, but hell, it's a formula that works, you gotta stick to it.

DOA2: Hardcore doesn't offer much over its DC counterpart, which isn't as hardcore. The graphics flow a bit nicer, I think there are more cutscenes now, and there are...

Pros: Superslick fighting system and graphics; no pyrotechnic punches.
Cons: Multiplayer gaming arenas limited.

You have your Tekken camp, and you have your DOA camp. (As for you Fighters Destiny people, please leave now, you're cramping everybody's style.) DOA is definitely the superior game if you give it a chance.

No! Tekken is the living...

Pros: Graphics,Controls,Extras
Cons: Minor Graphic Flaws,No Improved Endings

Dead or Alive(DOA)2 first appeared on the Sega Dreamcast. An excellent fighting game that featured top-notch graphics, responsive controls, and different modes of play. The game's weak point was a lack of depth, there were no secrets to unlock. Still...

Pros: Graphcis, physics, sound
Cons: Single play, story, voice acting

Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore is a Dreamcast port updated to take in the potential power of the PlayStation 2. While the game is good overall, it has a few blaring problems that should be dealt with to make it a truly great fighting game.

-...

Pros: Presentation style, graphics, great fighting engine.
Cons: None.

It's a shame that in this Tekken and Street Fighter saturated genre few people will get to experience DOA2. DOA does have a following, but as I wandered through Best Buy on October 26 trying to find my launch game all I heard was "Oh, I've heard of...

Pros: Awesome graphics and fun play modes
Cons: JAGGIES!!

Since I do not own a Sega Dreamcast, this is the first time that I experienced playing this game. Along with five other games, I bought DOA2 Hardcore on the Playstation 2 launch. DOA2 Hardcore is the latest revision in the Dead Or Alive 2 series....

Pros: Nice graphics, good fighting system, fluid animation, interactive backgrounds, fast paced fighting action
Cons: If you have DOA2 for the Dreamcast, there's no need to get this. Has a different feel and a flavour compared to other fighting games. People will think eye candy when they first see this game.

When the first Dead or Alive game first came out on the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation, the first thing most gamers noticed is excellent graphics with several female fighters that wore tight and/or revealing clothing and extremely bouncy assets. What...

Pros: Great graphics
Cons: Story mode is too short

Dead Or Alive 2 definitely wins the match for best fighting game on Playstation 2. I was kind of amazed since Tekken was surrounded by all the hype. For those of you who are not familiar with the series, it is a unique 3D fighting game that focuses...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, Music, Gameplay,
Cons: A.I a little cheap at times.

Dead or Alive was a okay fighting game for the playstation and arcade that came out a few years ago. Since I wasn’t too impressed with the game I didn’t think the squeal would be any better. Well when I bought the dreamcast version of Dead or Alive 2 I...

Pros: Incredible graphics and sound.
Cons: Jaggies, American voice overs.

Background
Dead Or Alive 2: Hardcore is the fifth sequel in the series. The game was previously released on the Sega Dreamcast system. It was an instant hit with arcade gamers across Sega's network. The 3D-Fighting game has reinvented itself...

Pros: Great graphics and collision, fluid and deep.
Cons: It's not exactly the first time this has been on a console.

The first thing about this game you'll notice is the women. They all have cleavage for days. Quite possibly, despite the difference in their "measurements", the exact same cleavage. Fun to look at for a while, I guess.

The second thing...

Pros: Graphics, game speed, and the girls
Cons: counters are to easy to do

Put together a killer fighting game filled with combos and non stop action with beautiful girls and you get Tecmo's Dead or Alive 2. First it was in the arcades and was it good. Then it came on the Dreamcast and the improvements were so great that...
