Dead or Alive Ultimate 1


It is such a grate feeling to have that arcade feel when you are browsing as to what game modes to choose, it does get slow sometimes when you want to go from Arcade Mode to Time Attack but it is not much trouble. The backgrounds of the are surprisingly good due to the fact it was a port on the Saturn. The fact that we can not choose what stage we want is very bad. The costume amount are fair as DOA can get, but they do get repetitive.


Well this is a port of the Saturn version and all I can really say that they do not compare to Dead or Alive Ultimate 2. It look alright as you can say but the graphics wont gives this game a title, its the game play that will.


The sound is alright but while playing as Kasumi against Lei Fang, there punches are the same and also the sound does not match to movements of the character. The sound of the Danger Zones are cool but I think that they could have added more WOW power as doing that.


The gameplay is good. The fact that there are no cut scenes in Arcade mode sucks, but the Online mode regains that, all of the modes are special in its own way. DOA Arcade lets you face in the DOA Tournament and player 2 can join by pressing START and the winner of that match will continue. DOA Online lets you challenge a player from almost everywhere in the world. Time Attack is where you are being timed for 8 match, you can upload your score to Xbox Live. Versus lets you play any other player in the room. Survival is where you fight to the death against many fighters, each time you win it harder and harder... Kumite lets you face the computer or another person for as many matches you want, 30, 50 or even 100!


Well the gameplay is pretty low as to what DOAU2 is but it does attract attention but not to online gamers.

Rating: 7.3

Dead or Alive Ultimate 2


Beautiful backgrounds on the very simple game menus make the game already, every stage comes up sometimes, if you really want to see them, just pop in and out of one more and pop out, they are just jaw dropping. Also the costumes in the game are very nice! They do get very repetitive especially with Lei Fang she has 5 different versions of one outfit. The amount of arenas are very high and very butifully rendered, the best has to be the Ray House, with the soundtrack, is just great!


The fact that it is the same engine as Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is GREAT! The Opening Movie is amazing as to the graphics and in game graphics are better than DOA3! The animation is great and the lighting is done perfectly! There is nothing else that I could say about the graphics!


The sound in the game is very good! The soundtrack very outdated but with the remix it does bump it up but not allot. The sound effects of the moves are great really brings it to life. The regular soundtrack is very repetitive even though its 45 soundtracks.


The gameplay of the whole overall story is great, this time there acculay is a story with many cut scenes which is better than DOAU1. With the multiple modes it haves it really is the ultimate package! It has a huge amount of modes its crazy! Story Mode lets you really see the characters story which is an improvement from DOAU1.DOA Online lets you challenge a player from almost everywhere in the world. Time Attack is where you are being timed for 8 match, you can upload your score to Xbox Live. Versus lets you play any other player in the room. Survival is where you fight to the death against many fighters, each time you win it harder and harder... Tag Battle lets you controls two characters at once as you battle out as a pair. Sparring lets you practice your moves and tactics but I hope there are more options than this one. Ranking lets you see your ranking in the offline game, it includes, Time Attack, Survival, Most wins, ect. Setting lets you configure the game as you want it. Battle Records lets you record and save matches you play, you can fast forward, rewind, pause and allot more! User Profiles lets you configure your DOA PROFILE. Watch lets you watch the computer battle it out with its self! DOA Online is the same thing as the DOA1 version experts this has more people on it.


This is really the ultimate version of the DOA franchise but the fact its not Dead or Alive 3 that has Xbox live really makes it not so ultimate.
