After playing DOA Ultimate for Xbox, people may be tempted to buy this version for Dreamcast. Don't bother, this version for Dreamcast is extremely boring. It has zero replay value. This game is garbage compared to the better Xbox versions.

Other Dreamcast games that are 100 times better: Virtua Fighter 3, Soul Calibur, and Project Justice. These 3 games are excellent and are only available on Dreamcast.

DEAD OR ALIVE: THE OVERVIEW

dead or alive 2 is a great game! it has awesome graphics and tons of players and fighting moves to choose from. although the game (to me) is a bit short in story mode, as all of the players i believe have 8 levels and always have the same boss(evil tengu), it makes up for it with its multiple modes and great multi player action. there are also many cheats for this game. you'll soon learn that each character has different statistics and some characters are better than others.it is worth what you pay.

Good but not great.

DOA2 is a fun game to play with friends that can play it also.

First off the game has NO extras. That in itself is disappointing!

Secondly, the single player game [...] BIG time. As a result the team battles and versus battles with friends are all you will have to hang on to.

These 2 flaws really killed the game for me. I love extras and a good single player mode since I can't have friends over everyday.

On the plus side, the graphics are great and the gameplay is fun, espically with friends. I'll recommend this game as a good game to play with friends. If you don't have that option then you couls let it slip by.

Collisions badly handled, too little variety, but solid game

1) Be forewarned that the graphics are a little "lazy" - the collisions are handled fairly poorly, so that fabric, hands, legs, etc all overlap and slide into each other pretty much all the time. Body parts do not stop when they hit body parts.
2) Be forewarned that characters, costumes, and backgrounds are limited -- I'm spoiled by having dozens of characters and arenas... the limited variety in DOA2 is frustrating.

Otherwise solid game...

And, hey, do not make the mistake of comparing the look-and-feel of this game to Soul Caliber, ok? This is closer to silly cartoon-like games like Marvel vs Capcom or Mortal Kombat Gold. It is cartoonish, highly stylized. It is not trying to be super-realistic. It's a beautiful, internally consistent, and good-looking game taking its stylization into consideration. Game play is fine. Fun! Easy enough, and with some variety for skill-building...

I love this Game

This is the coolest fighting game ever. This game, I still play. I love it lots. It's the starter for the DOA3. Without DOA2, DOA3 wouldn't be that great. Good game, and I don't really know what else to talk about, except that it's cool to kick people out of windows, and EIN is the coolest in the game.

I have played this game to death and I am still finding new counter moves, throws and attacks and I'm still having a blast! I completely disagree with anyone who says this gets old after hours of game play. Wrong! This game is only toped by Soul Caliber (Amazing) There are no extras to DOA2 but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this awesome game. The countering system of the game is so cool although sometimes frustrating if your on the receiving end. It takes practice and sheer skill to truly master any of the characters and by doing so you'll get even more enjoyment by kicking your friend's ...! This is an essential game for the Sega Dreamcast that no owner should be without!

3.6 STARS

This is very fun but after you beat it there is not much more you can do except play your friends. I suggest buying it if you love fighting games and you are tired of the Mortal Kombat Golds, Trilogy's. All good games just remakes of each other. But I'd say, if you want to buy this...DON'T. Get Dead Or Alive 3 for XBOX but if you can't get an XBOX or DOA3 for it buy this if you are still hanging on to that Dreamcast.

The best Fighting game on the DC that rivals Soul Calibur

I never expected anything graphicaly good looking on dreamcast
when playing so much on the Playstation 2 and looking at how
slow the processing is on dreamcast when you play crazy taxi 2,
but this game just pushed all the power that the Dreamcast had and made a game that really looks GOOD! I had bought crazy taxi
#1 for playstation 2 then later my friend was selling his dreamcast in order to buy a playstation 2 so I bought it from him with crazy taxi #2. I took a good look at the buildings and
you could tell how slow the processing was on Dreamcast,so i thought thats what I should expect to see on Dreamcast but when I played this game I was AMAZED!... The graphics were just as good loking as Playstation 2 (to bad for my friend)
