OPENING Dead Or Alive 3, the 3rd in its series. It has all the characters from the second Dead or Alive, plus a few extras. I will tell you about the new ones later in the review. There are loads of different things you can do, you can do practice, and do working out, otherwords doing all the moves in your command list. There is another Dead Or Alive game thats out, called Dead Or Alive Extreme Beach VolleyBall, very good... well anyway lets get on with it.
REVIEW This is a very good game. There are loads of things that you can do on the game, you have Story, which is that you choose your character, and do Arcade mode with some film scenes within. You get Theatre Mode, which allows you to see end film scenes, once you have done story mode with them, for example, Kasumi (want to know who she is, check out my dead or alive 2 review) has a one called Runeraway Shinobi, and you get it at the end of her arcade mode. You get different costumes, by doing Story mode, and other special stuff like Survival or Tag Team.
Tag Team is roughly, you get to pick 2 characters, and it is also up to 4 players. Then when you are in battle, you can change your character by pushing the black circle button by the left analog stick and you are your second character, do the same to get your other character back onto the battle field. When 1 of your characters are not in play, their health will start to heal slowly. When one of your characters dies, then you will only have 1 left to take on your enemies. Team Battle is when you select a number of characters, and you battle your enemy. When your 1st character dies, your second one will come out and take on the opposition.
Versus Mode is you battleing a friend, the computor like any other fighting game. You have all the characters that you have unlocked from the game, and all the arena's too. There are loads of good moves you can perform in this mode, like combos, decent throws, power moves, stuff like that. I like this mode, because I can play it with my mates and with my brother too.

STORYLINE This is the 3rd Dead Or Alive tournament, fighters from all over the world come to this tournament in hope of finding their true destiny, some prevail and some dont. Some of them come for the enjoyment of a good fight. This one is hosted by Omega, the main boss, no one has any info on him at all. Who will be the champion, who will find their destiny...
GRAPHICS The graphics are great, it looks like the real deal. 1 because it is on XBOX, and 2 its because it is not a straight treansfer from and inferior console. I dont know what else to say accept I think it is pure brillience at the graphics area.
SPECIAL FEATURES Play as old favourites or all-new characters 13 fighting styles, ranging from Karate to Zui Ba Xian Quan (8 spirits drunken fist) Hyper-realistic graphics render 16 stunning fighting environments
TECHNICAL DETAILS Region PAL: Will play on UK XBOX only Rating 11+ (ELSPA) Players 1-4
SOUNDTRACK Great music, I have some of it for MP3, if you want to know how to get them, well I got them off this site... http://www.geocities.com/el_perron2/SOUND The sound is great, it has all of the fighting noises, all of it is in the right place. The voices are in Japernese... Shame.
If you liked this game, try Tekken.
The Game that Tekken wished it was.
PRICE: 17.99 at www.play.com XBOX RATING: 4 star * * * *
