I love the classics Dead or Alive games like original for Arcade version (which I'm using a emulator software), and so with Dead or Alive 2 for SEGA Dreamcast as one of the best on the series.
I also enjoyed Dead or Alive 3 on original Xbox (which I'm using my brother's Xbox) with great gameplay, and superb graphics which keeps the game up to date. I've never tried a forth one which my brother haven't got one yet but he does have a X360. This series are quite much like to other 3D fighting games such as Virtua Fighter and Tekken has a similar style of gameplay. What I like about the series are female characters roster like Kasumi, Ayane, Tina, Helena and Christie are the hottest Tecmo's characters on D.O.A series. While I like the previous games, now I'm going to review this game which already came out last year for PS3 and X360 while the PSVita version came out since last month.
Dead or Alive 5 is a 3D fighting games for PS3 and X360 which developed by Team Ninja and published by Tecmo. This game features story mode as single player campaign including arcade mode, training mode, and survival mode. The muiltiplayer has online battle including versus offline mode. You can play ether the 1 on 1 battle or tag team battle which ever you want to enjoy your fighting game experiences. The gameplay is quite good as the other 3D fighting games. It has a fast paced combos moves and great techniques styles of characters movements what makes the control more balanced and steady. The stages are excellent with some dangerous objects which is quite awesome to see a characters gets kicked off the arenas, and attempts falling down. This game can run up to 60 fps which makes the performance of this game moves faster and playable. The graphics are impressive with nice character design, smooth textures, and detailed backgrounds. The music and sounds are quite good too. The music sounds decent in each stages. The sound effects is loud and clear, and the voice acting is not that bad with English but you can also change voice to Japanese on options menu which sounds lot better. The special features has 21 characters including 3 guest characters like Akira, Sarah, and Pai from Virtua Fighter series. It also has DLC stages, and costumes to download it from PSN and XBL. It does have a cross save which you can able to share save data from PSVita to PS3 which gives you a extra stuff from DOA 5 plus.
