| One of the Best Fighting Games in the Universe! | | Darkfist09 says (18/Mar/2005): | Dead or Alive 3 is truly one of the best fighting games in the universe. This Dead or Alive game was a lot smoother in the attacks and the fighting. I also found that there are many more attacks in this DOA, or Dead or Alive. That helped add to the smoothness of it. Another good thing about DOA 3 was that the places were beautiful. The graphics are great and the places are huge! This made the game play a lot of fun because I was able to throw people into stuff and knock them off of more things than before. Something else that I liked was that you could do many different types of blocks and things like that. DOA games are better than Tekken in that respect because you can counter moves from other opponents instead of just taking a million blows and not being able to do anything until you fall down and get back up. One last good thing, (there are too many more,) was that there are little cut scenes at the end of the story mode and are very interesting to watch. I have watched many of them over and over again, just because they are cool. Although short, they are definitely cool.
There aren't really any negative things I can say about this game. There are only three, and they aren't too totally negative. One thing was that the last guy in the story mode was hard to beat because he was able to throw fire and stuff like that, but, actually, it was very easy. All you have to do is memorize what he's going to do (he does it all in the same order each time) and just know what to do. Another thing I thought was a problem was that you couldn't play as my favorite character, Ein. This turned out not to be a problem though, because you can unlock Ein later in the game. One last problem I think the game has is that during some points, some attacks make you get on the opposite side of the screen, so you have to do combos and things like that, using opposite directional buttons. This is expected though, because it happens with about every fighting game.
As you can see, there really aren't any negative points to Dead or Alive 3 and the only ones I could think of are very minor things that don't make much difference to the fun of the game and the value of the game. Dead or Alive 3 is a really great game and I would recommend getting it. It's a lot of fun and is worth your twenty bucks! I would have paid fifty for it!
| The true future of fighting games. | | Ryan from Greenfield, Indiana, USA says (16/May/2004): | When I first got this game I was more than a little dissapointed. The reason I got the game was because of the really good reviews that the gaming magazines I read had given it, and because of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Anyway, when I first got it I started trying out different characters to find one that I liked. When I was fighting the computer controlled characters they did something that I really didn't like. I would throw a punch or kick at them and they would counter it. What the hell?! I had never played a fighting game with countering moves like that, and I found it really annoying. Then, when I tried to counter their moves I could never get it to work half of the time. But, I kept playing and I got better, and I was able to see how much depth it added to the game. A veteran player could through a button masher newbie's attacks right back in their face! The graphics on this game are phenomenal, some of the most realistic looking graphics I've ever seen. The tag team battles are my favorite part of the game, I especially like how you can switch by using the grab button to do a team move. I really wished this game could be played on Xbox Live, and that is why I can not wait to get Dead or Alive Ultimate. The story mode was a little short and there wasn't enough unlockable content (only one unlockable character and a few outfits). The end boss was one of the worst I have ever seen. I specifically did not like how the camera angle changed and the boss was able to shoot projectiles. He was also too easy to kill. The characters are all really well balanced and have different fighting styles, and a large variety of moves and combos. The sound is really good because of the great music but the one thing that I had a problem with was that no one spoke any English! The only spoken language was Japanese! I would have liked it if their had been an option to choose the language you wanted. After a while though, I didn't mind it at all and kind of liked it. After all, a fighting game should not be rated by what language is spoken in it. Overall, though this game is awesome and should NOT be passed up if you own an Xbox. This truly is, the future of fighting games.
| If it wasn't for English... but the game is Great. | | Brad Felizardo from Luanda, Angola says (15/Mar/2004): | _ Graphics _
Team Ninja now moved to XboX to show a more powerfull side of their skills. It's good, even on PS2 DOA2 already had amazing graphics, now prepare to see more than that, i mean really. You'll sure notice about how much the graphics are, just looking at Jann-Lee you'll notice that his face changed, now he looks more like a real guy, and many other fighters are improved. What will really make you respect the game is the quality of the end movies, intro, etc, and much more! If you explore a bit the stages you'll figure the gamemakers have done a really great work, they really used their attention for details. Now the bad things about the graphics, well, i don't have much to regret about the graphics, but i don't know, somehow, something tells me they had a more "DOA-smooth-style" on the graphics of DOA2 of PS2, that happens when i remind of stages like the "White Storm" "The DOA2 Danger Zone", "Dragon Hills", "Aerial Garden", etc, so sometimes i dunno but i prefer to play DOA2. Christie is the fighter with the best ending movie, kindda shows to you with style how a real modern assassin lives.
_ Sounds _
Oh, this is it. But why they all speak japanese? This really made the game not too great like i expected, we need english!!! Many players aren't too cool because of this. Players like Zack, Bass, Bayman, Helena, etc, aren't cool because they don't spell english, this was a big mistake. On the PS2 version you could choose between japanese or english voices, but here not! And just think about how the new players like Christie, Brad, could be really cool if they could speak english, man, i don't play the game "that" much because of this. They changed the face of Tina, i think it was to make her look like a real american girl, i never liked her too much, but her voice on DOA2 is really cool, so, sometimes i play with her on DOA2, but here in DOA3 she speaks japanese and looks like a japanese pre-teen, she isn't cool anymore, like many players, even Ayane, Hayate, aren't too cool anymore. I know they used to say some senseless things on DOA2, but i prefer that.
_ Gameplay _
A lot of new moves, this is what really makes the game greater than DOA2. But where is my sweet "Battle Rec. Mode"? My mistake, isn't greater than DOA2 then... Story mode was improved, but without english isn't "that" great. And like i said, there are new fighters, new moves, so you better be ready for new hot vibrations, because fighters like Jann-Lee, Kasumi, Bayman are so hot now. I quite enjoy playing with fighters like that Christie (dangerous snake-like fighting style), Brad Wong (the drunk master, if it wasn't for english i could say he is more cool than Steve Fox and Lei from Tekken4 at the same time), etc. But man, still a pain some end movies. What's up with Brad? He stopped drinking to live with flowers or something? And Hayate, life isn't to be jumping trees and playing with shurikens all the time, a "man needs to be a man", wich meens to study and get some official job, we all need ninjas for movies and things like that but you don't need to take it too seriously and live your life like a movie. I was sad when i saw Ayane crying... but that's ok... Now i heard Microsoft helped Team Ninja for developing this game, oh, c'mon, that was critical because i can't see what i really expected for this game, my game is PAL so why are they speaking japanese? And i don't know how to unlock more costumes, somebody got to tell me.
| Amazing fighter | | Super Gaijin from Charlottetown, PEI says (14/Dec/2003): | This, Halo, Star Wars: KOTOR, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon are what make the XBox so incredibly good. Other people always get so bitter over the XBox because "It's just a pc with controllers, blah blah blah waaaahhh!" but that's because that's what a console SHOULD be. A console should be a pc geared completely towards gaming in an efficient box with no complicated upgrading and compatibility problems or $#< remove me > at !ty OS's like Windows.
Anyways, on to DOA 3. I've played all the DOA games since the first one on PS and I've always loved them. Each one of them is an improvement on the last (although DOA 2 had some $#< remove me > at !ty characters like Leon or whatever his name was) and DOA 3 is the final, finished product.
The controls are perfectly smooth, the countering system evens out the battlefield for all to play, and there's no stupid 50,000,000 hit combos or some overtly powerful character like Akuma (the reason why I hate street fighter games). Every character has flaws and bonuses for their size, speed, power, and fighting style. Every single character in that game rocks once you learn how to use them and I could sit there all day playing 2 player mode.
| Almost perfect but the best game I ever played!!!!! | | Javier Calderon from Cicero,illinois U.S.A says (16/Nov/2003): | Like everybudy says these game is one of the best games I have ever played
In first place the graphics Is one of the coolest thing in the game they are really cool it almost seems like real life. If mortal combat and dead or alive 3 were compared at graphics mortal combat would look like a fool because dead or alive 3 is one of the best game with the best graphics.
This is why I put a nine on the score the game is really easy When I played the first time I beated the game with no problem and the boss from story mode sucks.
The gameplay Is the best part of the game specially story mode every character has is own movies and endings but the thing that dead or alive has that mortal combat or soul calibur doesn't have are the costumes every character has at least 4 costumes because if you get tired of how your favorite character looks you can always change her or his clothes or even their hair style.
I really recomend this game for kids and adults that like fithing games and really hot chicks like me.(by the way I'm 12)
| pretty | | Billy Baru from New York says (31/Oct/2003): | This is a phat game. i dont mess around w/ one player much, and 2 player quickly migrates to team battle (much like mk2 on sup.nes) Overall look is fantastic, as well as control, music, and a large command list. This games a 10 on the "i just slammed your a^&*" meter. My big complaint that dropped the overall rating to 7 is a creeping feeling of rock, paper, scissors as the deciding factor.
| Dead or Alive rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Cubbilicious from San Mateo,California says (29/Oct/2003): | Not only was this game better than any other fighting game I knew, but the graphics, the graphics stunned me/ so beautiful! I mean if you did compare these graphics with any other games- Dead or Alive would win. I looooooooooooooooooove this game! The extreme game play is mesmerizing to the eyes. It is a true masterpiece, if you don't mind my saying, but I want a fighting game to verse Doa and I would like to see who can beat Doa, I mean come on. You need to by this game. The graphics are good because it's on xbox too, know wonder there's no power greater than the X..........THIS GAME IS TRULY THE FUTURE OF ALL FIGHTING GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| Could be a lot better!!!!!!!!! | | A gamer from Dublin, Ireland. says (27/Sep/2003): | The single player is just too easy. I completed it on my first try. Two player is a bit more fun, but not much. There are far better games out there. DOA3 is a waste of money. The only thing going for it is the great graphics. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!
| Just as cool as dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball! | | Taylor Yeates from Wales says (3/Sep/2003): | I played this game at my cousins house when it first came out and thought it was simply the best. The graphics looked like real life, the gameplay was amazingly fast and the girls are really beautiful! It has so many different modes like survival, team battle, tag battle and story which without a doubt will keep you playing for ages. I have dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball (which is even better trust me!) and will definitely be buying dead or alive 3 on september 6th which is only a few days away, i cant wait!
| great fighting game with girls that kick high | | knives from Nebraska USA says (20/Aug/2003): | okay not much can beat this game as of fighting games it was sweet moves kwel charaters and girls that kick high lol but each charater has there own story and there own ending move the levels are pretty big with things that break apart and things ledges to throw ppl off of the graphics are pefect theres not a fighting game out there that can beat doa3 and the doa boobie jiggle
| Dead Or Alive 3 | | Joshua Webb from Hampshire, England says (4/Aug/2003): | I may be 12 years old, but I still remember when the whole point of fighting games was getting a mate round and standing, face up to the screen locked in a neck by neck contest of seeing who is the best at learning 47 button combos. DOA3 is very different. It is overally the future of all fighting games. And to all you experts out there, it has a new revoulutionary system that makes Tekken look like an empty wrapper down a dark alley. It has a counter system designed to stop newbies kicking the hell out of full trained pros by hammering away at the face buttons. Or in simpler terms, if your enemy is just hitting the Y buttons, just press x with the corresponding direction you can grab them mid-punch and send them a one-way ticket to the hall of shame. But wait, there's more. Compare Tekken 4 with DOA3 and you will probably have already dropped Tekken 4 out the window for the dog to chew. The graphics are almost REAL-LIFE, pushing the XBOX to its limits. You probably will find no PS2 or Gamecube game that stands up to the so-high standard of Microsoft and Team Ninjas DOA3. Listen to me readers, DOA3 is much better than Tekken. Moving on to the subject, the gameplay and controls are exellent. A real gem. Aanndd... There is something else, play on the DOATEC HQ or Lorelei or the Lost World, pack a powerful punch and you can send them smashing through windows, off cliffs, and through banisters. Some other levels have electric fences, the perfect way to 'hammer' through your opponents health bar. So, unlike any other fighting game, the scenery plays just as big a part as the gameplay.
Believe me, you will enjoy it just as much as I did.
Enjoy the game!
| Good And Bad Points To "DEAD OR ALIVE 3" | | Richard lafferty from paisley,scotland says (28/Jul/2003): | At first was one of the best games i bought, all though after weeks of none stop play and no new fighting options it can be a bit boring. DOA3 has some of the best fighting game graphics i have ever seen up to this point including that of the latest tekken game: "Tekken 4", also the characters storylines and dramatic endings make the first few weeks of gameplay really enjoyable, again i found that this game like many of its fighthing game counterparts contains little options like unlocking new characters and costumes which would keep us glued to our seats for weeks and weeks. Apart from those few critisiams "Dead Or Alive 3" is definetly a must have for all fighting game lovers and even for those that just want to have the best games at the moment!!.
| Great game! | | Off Da Chain from Atlanta,Georgia, USA says (20/Jul/2003): | If you like good graphics, tight graphics, off the heezy moves, and the hottest wome n you can see on a video game, this is for you. It is kinda easy and all, so you won't be pouting too much about it being unfair(some of the time). The only thing I have a grudge about is that getting some tight attire is in Japanese version only. 1 guy siad that the game is so great, it was sold out. I looked everywhere, didn't see it till I stumbled upon it somehow.Lol. I sure hope I can get some codes for it or something. All in all, it's a great game. Bring a buddy over to play!
| Sublime | | Ben from Melbourne, Australia says (3/Jul/2003): | DOA3 excels in every classical sense of game design. Graphics-more character and environmental detail than any other game. Sound effects are great, very convincing and lifelike. It's easy to imagine that this audioscape is what a true fight would be like. But what, really, is the gameplay like? The Dead or Alive series has a reputation for being a 'better' series, in comparison to fighting series like Soul Edge/Calibur, Tekken and Virtua fighter. Ever since DOA2 the inclusion of a counter system has been controversial. This system allows player to counter an incoming move and send one back for more damage. Simply put, this system is excellent. It adds more depth than any other fighting mechanic alone. Combine this with DOA3's other drawcard, its multilevel, destructible environments, and you have a very deep fighting game. Of course DOA3 also has the other fighting mechanics nailed(combos, throws, blocking etc.), similar to any other 3d fighting game. All in all, this game takes it to even Soul Calibur 2. It's brilliant on every level. Put simply, it has the deepest fighting mechanics.
| better than tekken 4 | | brandon from RICHMOND,VA says (19/May/2003): | i think doa3 is better than tekken 4 because you can kick people of the cliff knock people though wall and has a better story than tekken 4 AND TEKKEN GRAPHICS are ok but doa3 graphics are the bomb. i think doa3 is the best fighting game in the world
| DOA3 | | David from SA Adelaide says (15/May/2003): | DOA3 is the best game in the world. Even the newest games of tekken and street fighter dont come close to beating this game in graphics, game play, moves, everything. The chicks in the game are really cute especailly Ayane, Hitomi and Kasumi. The movies look really real with hair swaying in the wind and the pupil of the eyes opening and closing to the light. Man I cant wait for DOA4 comes out it will be even better then this one. The tag team mode of this game is sweet with the combo flips. And every chacarter has its own special style of fighting. I never did like fighting games til I came across DOA3 now i think fighter games are the best. The only down fall is the last boss Omega. The next one should put a stronger boss in. Again this is the best game EVER and it will be til number 4 comes out. My favourite character is Ayane(I think she's the prettiest girl in the game)
| One of the Great Ones | | Seiryu from Louisville, KY , USA says (21/Apr/2003): | DOA3 is one of the greatest fighting games of all time. The graphics are phenomenal, the characters are awesome, and the sound track really gets you into the mood. The degree of interaction with th level backgrounds adds alot to the gameplay (especially when you knock your friend out the window in the Hong Kong stage!) I myself am a martail artist and I've picked up some useful strategies from many of the characters combinations. The game has pretty good replay value in story mode due to the gorgeous ending sequences (which are the best I've ever seen in a fighting game) but the real fun lies in fighting another friend in versus mode who is equal in skill to you, Oh yeah! I recommend this game to anyone who loves fighting games; if it's girls you're after then get DOA EXB.
| DOA is Okay | | Ross from Stanton, Iowa USA says (5/Apr/2003): | Well the game was fun for about the first week I bought it. The single player isnt fun at all becasue you're not earning anything. Maybe Tekken spoiled me or something. Tag team is okay too it could be better. I was disapointed that you can earn nothing except 1 guy Ein. The graphics were extraordinary and that is why I'm giving it a 4 beacuse graphics are sweet but gameplay sucks. Whoever wants really cool graphics but sucky gameplay go right ahead and play it....haha...its your money
| A MASTERPIECE!! | | Bill Shortenwegs from USA says (28/Mar/2003): | At first i only bought this game because of dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball and the women but it proved to be a great game!! Its graphics were so real thta i found myself unable to sleep after seeing kasumi's panties!! I would say it is the best game for xbox apart form dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball which i really recomend!
