What's sad about some of today's games is the fact that some are still looking like ugly PS2 games unlike the slick graphics of modern PS2 and Xbox games. One thing that still amazes me about Dead or Alive 3 is the fact it still looks better than a lot games to this day... and it was made six years ago! The fighting mechanics are still awesome and manages to outclass a lot of fighters to this day. The characters are still awesome and the unlockables are still awesome, and the ending videos are still excellent to watch. The only problem with this game are small control issues, other than that there is nothing wrong with this awesome game.

One of the greatest fighting games in history

This game is awesome, the graphics are incredible and clean
I just have this game for 2 months and I still don't get bored of it and the fighting styles is something to be proud of, but I still like more soul calibur 2

I'm not a huge video game fan, but I happen to have an X-Box and my friend had this game. I played it a few times with two player and I got beat everytime. I couldn't figure out if it was because I suck or if it was because he was better. Well, I beat the game with all the characters in less than a week. The game has a large number of different modes, including Story Mode, Time Mode, Team mode where you make a team and then fight a bunch of other people. Story mode is a lot different from other story modes I have done in games. You pick a character out of the 20 or so characters and then fight a bunch of people until you reach Omega and unlock a movie. You have to do this with all the characters to unlock the movies. This is a really nice touch. This game is addicting and maddening as well. I threw the controller across the room. The graphics are terrific, the movies you unlock look like a real movie and it is just spectacular to watch. A-

Not bad at all

This game has a lot of potential. Anybody notice the feet are too big, though? Anyway, the fighting moves are really on point. The grappling moves look good, not generic like other games where characters are automatically in a takedown or hold. The female wrestler should probably have her own game as well, with other wrestler type characters. Maybe we can have her do a guest appearence on the next Rumble Roses game? Oh well. The game can get boring after a while, with little extras. And yes, the women are great to watch in action. Almost famous for this one.

Dead or Alive 3 defines what a fighter should be with it's amazing visuals and sound, but other than that, it's ordinary

A step ahead from Dead or Alive 2. The story is about a fighting tournament which offers a big cash reward. Each fighter is in it for a certain reason whether it is for glory, riches, or to confront another in a fight. Now, what do you notice, first of all? The graphics! The graphics are well detailed and it's near the summit of graphic design.

The soundtrack is great and features bands like Aerosmith. Each character has their own theme song. Attacks, moves, and crashes have relistic sounds to them. The Story Mode is good. You can play the role of each character and then unlock their movie clips and costumes. There is a practice mode where you can practice your techniques. A Time Survival mode where you try to beat the enemies fast. There is a tag team mode where each character can tag in. One fights while one heals. There is team battle where each player can have up to 5 characters and they duke it out.

The character variety is awesome. You got the slow, but powerful characters. You have the fast, but weaker characters. You have the average characters. Each character is good at something like punches, kicks, crunches, and a mix of some of those. There are over a hundred moves for each character and plenty of combos to try out. The settings can set the difficulty, the controls, and the sound which is decent. The environments are beautiful. Some have electric walls. Some have areas to fall. Some have little and some have plenty when it comes to space. This game is great for multiplay and for single play. The game is a step up from most fighters, but it's not anything that a game hasn't done before. All in all, DOA fans will love this. 2d Fighting fans will love this. You can punch, kick, grab, defend, and pull of combos. The game can be beaten easily unless you challenge yourself, but never the less, this game has a thick amount of replay value.

Pros: Beautiful graphics with detailed characters and environments. Fighting gameplay is great and a nice soundtrack to go with it. Good selection of characters and many modes to play in. Multiplayer is very entertaining and the game has juicy amount of replay value.

Cons: Behind the stunning graphics and sound, the game isn't that much innovative to other fighters.

Dead or Alive is more Alive than Dead!!!

I got this game back when it first came out at the regular price. This one game that you keep playing and playing and always have fun, especially with a group of friends. Now that it is in the Platinum Hits for that amazingly low price, if you have not got the game, definitely you should get it as it is a title to have on your X-BOX game collection. This is definitely a classic now! Graphics are awesome! Controls are simple enough for a newbie and great for seasoned players!!

Wanted Dead or Alive.

Dead or Alive 3 is a great game. It has the best graphics that I have ever seen on any fighting video game(just a little bit better than Dead or Alive 2). I like the fact that there is a hidden character in the game and he happens to be one of my favorites in DOA2. The stages and the ones with different multilevels are spectacular to see and fight on. The cenematic endings are better than they were in DOA2 because they are longer and have more substance. The gameplay is the same as DOA2 which I liked. Combos are still easy to do. The only complaint I have is that the characters do not wear at least 3 different outfits like in other DOA games with the exception of three characters. Also on the boss stage, you have to fight him at a different camera angle which I am not use to. Overall, this is a must game for Xbox owners.

THE BEST GRAPHICS

this game is amazing. it is so addictive and so much fun in general. the tag team with another person is very fun to do. once you learn the combos in which two kill the guy at the same time. my favorite is the jump rope swing and the human dart. overall this game is sweet!

this is game is great, don't get me wrong but i guess it just doesn't strike a fancy in me... true i have never been a fan of the fighting genre, but this game is just not all i thought it was gonna be. i recommend this game to anyone with an xbox, and who is a fan of fighting games, but for anyone else, this is probably just a renter.
