IMPORTANT NOTE: Well, well, well...I was hoping this wouldn’t come to this, but because of some difficulties that are coming up where I will not be home to post or anything for a few days...Dreamcast month is going to have to come to an...
Pros: Amazing graphics; simple controls; fast gameplay and smooth animation Cons: Might force a young lad into puberty; offensive to some
I'm almost ashamed to enjoy Dead or Alive 2 as the thing relies so heavily on exploitation that it's almost laughable. The main idea behind this game is simple. Tecmo made some very attractive models of well-proportioned women and put them in...
Pros: Graphics,gameplay,multiplayer modes,comedy Cons: Comedy isn't intentional, story is mostly trite,boss, may offend

or Alive was a minor hit in the arcades, and wasn't long in making it's way to the homes of Saturn and PlayStation owners, but it didn't exactly set the gaming world alight, and was really only famous for the ...
Pros: Beautiful interactive backgrounds. Cons: Single player longevity.
I can recall when the PS2 was released, it's benchmark to the Sega Dreamcast was Dead or Alive 2 . After critiques nit-picked the two to death, the overall outcome was one of disbelief. Most onlookers expected the muscular PS2...
Pros: Many Things Cons: Movies not viewable outside of Story mode
Before I start, I must point out that I do not own this game. However, I do think that having played it for at least 30 hours in a single weekend qualifies me to write a decent review. That being said.
Pros: Awesome graphics, strategic counter-combo style game play. Cons: This game is a work of art, just ignore the bubblecious ladies.
This is a situation that makes me laugh. What are the Japanese developers thinking when they build characters such as Ivy from Soul Caliber, in her skin tight leather g-string, whip, and moves such as 'Dominion'? Luckily, despite the ridiculous sexual ...
Pros: A great series of fighting titles, nice graphics, more characters. Cons: Polygon style visuals.
Background
Dead Or Alive 2: Hardcore is the fifth sequel in the series. The game was also released on the Sony Playstation 2 system. It was an instant hit with arcade gamers across Sega's network. The 3D-Fighting game has reinvented itself over and...
Pros: Graphics, fluid fighting, multi level maps. Cons: Excessive cleavage may offend, story is horrid.
For a while, after the Dreamcast came out, everyone was RAVING about Soul Calibur, and how this system was going to blow the Playstation out of the water. Now, a year later...everyone's still talking about Soul Calibur, and every other game developer on...
Pros: Sensible fighting system, quick to play and learn Cons: Out of proportion characters, music doesn't work
Want to shock a fighting game fanatic? Go back in time five years ago and tell them that Tecmo was going to make a game that would rival anything Namco came out with. You'd get a look of amazement, befuddlement, and finally disbelief as they put...
Pros: Graphics, fighting engine, and just plain fun Cons: Could be a button masher
When I first sat down to play this game I was expecting quite a bit from it. Great graphics, an amped up fighting engine, and just a whole lot of fun. Tecmo delivered in every area. This game is really quite an improvement over the original and shows...
Pros: You can throw people off buildings. Cons: You can only do that one good thing in one mode.
Soul Calibur. Marvel Vs Capcom. Powerstone. How can anyone after having played those games remotely enjoy the mess that is Dead or Alive 2? Fighting games, maybe moreso than any other genre, are about gameplay over graphics. DOA2 may look very nice...
Pros: Graphics, tag team, multiple platform stages, and oh yes, the girls! Cons: Short story mode, lack of characters, no 'extras.'
It’s finally here. After seven months, it’s time to put Soul Calibur in the ring with a new contender for the King of Fighters on the Dreamcast. Tecmo’s Dead or Alive 2 is considered the next Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast; a new...
