    El género de la lucha es uno de los más repetidos dentro de las consolas. Ofrece una gran variedad y tal vez ese se ha convertido en su máximo problema, pues poco a poco ha ido agotando las posibilidades de hacer algo completamente nuevo. Read more

    It is a great fighting game that, if not for some game balance issues, could have been the best of all time. Still, worth picking up without a doubt. Read more

    In the end Dead or Alive 2 comes close to topping Soul Calibur, but doesn't quite hit it's mark (at least not like it did on the PlayStation 2). This has the workings for a classic fighting game, as well as some of the most innovative features in current fighting games, but it has a little more work to go before it's perfected. Close, but not quite in the same ballpark as Soul Calibur. Read more

    Tecmo's Dead or Alive was released back in 1996 for both the Sega Saturn and the Sony PlayStation. Being based on Sega's own Model 2 engine (which was previously used for Daytona USA, Fighting Vipers, and Virtua Fighter 2), it was no surprise that this game looked like its arcade predecessor on the Saturn.

    Team Ninja has made one of the finest fighting games to date. Dead or Alive 2 is a beautiful fighting game in every meaning of the word. The game looks great, plays great, and has enough personality to pull it to the top of the Dreamcast fighting library. Read more

    OVERALL: This is a game you should likely own if you're a fighting fan, or you want a game that looks good and plays fairly well. But, if you want a 3D fighting game that will last you a long time, you should probably look at Soul Calibur instead. Read more
