Dead or Alive 3 for Xbox

Pros: awesome graphics, fun gameplay
Cons: lacks any real extra stuff to unlock, fighting kind of slow

The Xbox didn't have a bad system launch at all. It took a couple months for the Playstation 2 games to start rolling in, and the Gamecube's Mario-less launch crippled the Gamecube's first six months or so (Super Mario Sunshine was released the summer ...

Pros: Graphics. Graphics. Graphics.
Cons: Lack of unlockables.

"Owners of the "next-gen" systems searching for a classic fighting game have very little choices. With one of the flagship XBOX releases, is it more than just eye candy?"

Intro
Almost always on cue, you can expect a...

Pros: Graphics, Solid Gameplay, Easy to pick up and start
Cons: Lack of extras as compared to previous versions of the game

On the Playstation 2 launch last year, there was only one decent fighting game... Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore (forget that horrible 3D Street Fighter EX title... I did). DOA2:H showed off spectacular graphics on the playstation that in some ways blew away...

Pros: Tecmo sure knows how to make a good flowing fighter.
Cons: All the jaggies of the PS2, shallow gameplay.

I know what most of you are going to think, "Hey, you can't have possibly played this yet!" But I did. I went on vacation to Japan last month. I had originally planned to see the Lakers dismatle the Golden State Warriors on the 12th of October in the...

Pros: Graphics are superb,flowing fun fighter
Cons: doesn't add much on the second game

To help launch the XBox for fighting fans, Microsoft recruited the aid of Tecmo to bring the third installment of their Dead or Alive series to the console at launch, and to keep it exclusive. Given that the group behind it, Team Ninja's, slightly ...

Pros: GRAPHICS! Easy to play, "multi-tier" environments
Cons: Not much to unlock, no real story

What sold me on Dead or Alive 3 was a trailer I watched on my Xbox Magazine's demo disc. I had never seen such a good looking game before. I was amazed at the characters and drooling over the environments, I *had* to get that game! Of course, the ...

Pros: Visuals, design, mutliple layered levels, sound effects
Cons: lack of extras, control, and where the heck are those aerosmith tracks?

The fighting game series that carries more curves on
it’s females then an all woman adult movie has finally
come to it’s third landmark on Microsoft’s newly
released console system, the XBOX. Many people claim
that if you were to...

Pros: beautiful graphics, nice controls, deep tag team mode
Cons: the same damn game that launched with the PS2 last year

Tecmo has gained quite the reputation recently in the fighting genre, with its exemplary (and well-endowed) Dead or Alive series. The series, which originated on the PlayStation and Saturn, wowed gamers with its stellar in-depth gameplay...

Pros: Superb graphics, massive multi-layered environments in which to fight.
Cons: Cheesy boss, weak story line.

It has been quite some time since I have last played or owned a fighting game since my tastes have been primarily football, racing, and 1st person shooters over the past several years. Prior to that, I was a Virtua Fighter junkie and also enjoyed a good...

Pros: I almost wet myself because it looked so pretty.
Cons: Wetting myself is a bad thing.

Well, after much listening to what other people had to say about this game I finally decided it was time to give it a try myself. I went into this game with mixed feelings because a lot of people seem to think it is the greatest thing ever to happen to...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, Gameplay
Cons: Somewhat akward control

Here I am, yet again sipping on my tea and writing a review; hopefully contributing on helping you make your decision. Well, now that I caught myself blabbering, I might as well go on with my opinion.
The Dead or Alive series certainly has come a...

Pros: Jaw dropping graphics, expansive arenas, 3 new characters with distintive techniques
Cons: Same old gameplay, odd controls

Every console needs a fighting game at its launch. The PS2 had Tekken Tag. The Dreamcast had Soul Calibur. Microsoft has claimed Team Ninja's Dead or Alive 3 (DOA3) as their flagship fighter. You may have seen the screenshots around. After all, what...

Pros: Great Graphics, Accurate fighting styles, high kicks, Good Tutorial
Cons: Minimal Secrets, Not much different than DOA2 in characters, poor plotline

* Incredibly gorgeous graphics
* Beautiful multi-level levels
* Wide variety of characters and fighting styles
* Less of a button masher than previous games
* Tweaked counter system
* Good Tutorial Mode
* Decent Multiplayer...

Pros: Amazing graphics, diverse fighting styles, amazing levels, easy to learn, fun for multiplayer
Cons: story mode is tiny, boss is cheesy, not that many new characters, few secrets,

In a way, I was a bit disappointed when I first played this game. What I expected was a game with amazing graphics, interesting fighters, intricate levels, and a great plot to tie it all together. Unfortunately, I only got part of my wish. Dead or Alive...

Pros: Awesome graphics, fast gameplay, good controls, amazing stages/stage interaction
Cons: A little unbalanced

Introduction:
This franchise began on the idea that sex appeal sells. The original DOA sported "bouncy" female fighters and became successful enough to spawn a sequel, DOA2, which has had many incarnations. With the growing success came new games,...
