Game Overview

Dead or Alive Online will not just be Dead or Alive 3 with online support. It will be a 'powerhouse combination' of Dead or Alive 1, which never made it to North American shores, and Dead or Alive 2. Released back in 1996, the first DOA fighting game was released on Sega's now defunct Sega Saturn. The game literaly pushed the machine's hardware to its absolute limits. This title will make its debut with those SAME graphics, perfectly rendered on the Xbox Video Game Console in Dead or Alive Online.

The Bottom Line

Formerly known as Dead or Alive Online, this compilation contains both the original Dead or Alive (released on SEGA Saturn) and the sequel Dead or Alive 2. DOA2 has been upgraded significantly with improved graphics, faster gameplay, and eight brand-new environments. Team Ninja also added new episodes from the characters' past that reveal more about their storylines. But the biggest upgrade to the two fighters is the fact that they will be fully playable over Xbox Live. And it wouldn't be Dead or Alive if there weren't tons of hidden costumes to unlock for the team's large cast of characters.

It sports the most fully featured online multiplayer mode of any fighting game yet, which is a huge accomplishment.

Each of the moves that you want to execute performs flawlessly and looks great at the same time.

The greatly improved arenas, the plethora of costumes, the addition of slope moves, and the implementation of Xbox Live play makes DOA Ultimate one of the best games this year.
