Dead or Alive 2 (PS2) > Reviews (20)

This is a great Beat em up game, it is like Tekken, but I think it is better, it dont have the powder... This game is about a story of revenge, to make their destiny come true. To make all means of fighting to go away. There are many characters, and 2 to unlock, I have only Unlocked one, but I know what the other one was... Later in the review I will tell youhow to get them. Ill also give info about the characters and loads of other stuff as well.

There are many things you can do on Dead Or Alive 2, you can do Story, which is how you get different costumes for your characters, and I think you get 1 of the unlockable characters as well. Story Mode is like Arcade, and you have some movie Scenes in between. Then there is Time Attack, where you have to defeat as many enimies as you can in the quickest time. Then there is Tag Battle, where you can play with your friend, be on the same team or against each other, depending what you want to do, or you can play with the computor. In Tag Battle, you have 1 other person of your choice to be your partner, and you can switch them between each other during battle, any time you want. When the person is not in battle, that person will heal him/her very slowly. When one of you people dies, the other one will come out automatically, to finish off the battle. Then there is Team Battle, which is when you pick a team of upto 6 I think, then you can battle in the arena's that you are allowd to use. You can have 2 player for this, one team be 1 player, and the second team be 2 player. Then theres Survival, this is when you will have to win a series of battles, keep winning, and the more points you get, you want to kill as many as you can, your health heals itself a bit after each battle.

Now that you have done these, you should be able to access the CG Gallery, which otherwords has all the women in bikini's and other clothes, and look at you in a sexy way. This is very entertaining. There are a few more modes, like Watch mode, otherwords, just watching a battle, like you were playing it, but 2 comps are. You pick the characters like you usually would.

Story
Very good story, many different ones for each character.

Thats what I like about it, there are many characters and many storylines, but all ending up fighting the mega ultimate bad guy.

Graphics
The Graphics are very good, they are smooth, like the PS2 is. All the graphics and dtails of the game are perfect, I wander how much better Dead or Alive 3 is.

Playabilty
You could be playing this game for ages, especially the story mode, and Tag Battle, my brother and his mate were on there for ages. This game is very playable because of the reasons above.

Addictivness
I would say you could play it for over 3 hours, depending if you like it or not.

Soundtrack
Well you can download them off this site http://www.geocities.com/el_perron2/ the mp3's anyway, and then see them for yourself.

Bayman
