 The First 3D Online Fighter EVER!!!!! September 22, 2004

From the same people that brought you Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive 3 and Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball comes Dead or Alive Ultimate, packaging the original Saturn version of Dead or Alive with a completely redesigned Dead or Alive 2.
What Makes DOA Ultimate Special??
For first the first time ever on any console-gamers can enjoy 3-D fighting online! Both games are Xbox Live-enabled, giving players the chance to test their fighting skills against a vast community of highly competitive gamers across the globe.
Why should I care about the 1st DOA???
In 1997, the original Dead or Alive was released on the SEGA Saturn, pushing its processing power to the limits. The original Dead or Alive has long been considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the series, but it was never released in the North American Territory. Now, the graphics of the SEGA Saturn version, make their first appearance on the Xbox-perfectly rendered.
But I've Already Played DOA 2.
Not this DOA 2. Redesigned on a brand new engine, the new DOA 2 boasts amazing new interactive environments that are made possible by the incredible power of the Xbox. Gorgeous new graphics, hard-hitting new fighting moves, and never-before-seen costumes were added to create the "ultimate" fighting game.
What else is there???
The new Dead or Alive Ultimate features never-before-seen episodes from the characters' pasts, revealing new details about each character. These new movies feature unbelievable graphics that will you breathless. These movies will finally answer questions such as the reasons for Ayane's birth and the meaning of the flower in Kasumi's ending. Dead or Alive Ultimate also features a bunch of brand-new costumes.
I would say if you are a fighting game fan, pick this one up. And if you are not one, this could be the game to change your mind. The online feature will now add hours and hours of gameplay. I hope to see you on XBOX LIVE!!!!
Great background and gameplay November 27, 2004

In Dead or Alive Ultimate, you get to play both Dead or Alive 1 and an improved version of Dead or Alive 2 - plus online gameplay as well!
XBox fans who enjoy fighting are thrilled about this - because while Dead or Alive 3 was on the XBox, until now there was no way to play the older games on this console. The Dead or Alive 1 gameplay is just like the original, bringing the classic feel and fun. On the other hand, Dead or Alive 2 is definitely updated. You get the same characters and locations, but the graphics have been revamped to take advantage of the XBox's engine.
I have to say this is GREAT because I'm a huge fan of Dead or Alive 3 and its amazing graphics. To be able to have that same level of graphic achievement - with blowing leaves, footprints in the snow, and so on - is just great. The costumes and characters are all quite distinctive and really let you get a feel for the personality of each individual.
The main theme is done by Aerosmith, but each level has its own music that fits well with the scenario. You get to fight in Japanese gardens, on the Great Wall of China, in a peaceful forest, and in other quite detailed spots. Not only are the three dimensional areas visually spectacular, but you can knock a character off a given section of the map and continue the fight on lower levels. It really adds to the strategy and gameplay.
There are great new scenes to help you learn more about the Dead or Alive universe. It's like reading a prequel to your favorite story - suddenly the characters and their actions take on new meanings.
The online gameplay lets you take your skills and techniques online, to test against players around the world. Instead of being 'stuck' with the gameplay in the game (which can easily last for weeks), you could play 24 hours a day and never run out of new opponents to face.
If I have any complaint about this game, it's that while the guys are in really cool costumes, the women all seem to be wearing costumes that clearly show off their underwear and big breasts. Some people DO play these games who aren't obsessed with women's underwear and inflatable chests.
That being said, it is at least great that female fighters are treated with respect, and it's considered normal to have just as many female characters in a fighting game as males. It wasn't that long ago that a fighting game would be males only, with women stuck on the sidelines waving little flags.
A great fighting game in general, and a must-have for DOA fans to fill in the storyline.
4.5/5
 This game is horrible unless your into bouncing boobs: September 13, 2005

I've played all of the Dead or Alive games and found that they lack everything but boobs and girls. Sure there are guy ninjas like the awsome Hybusha but that's really the only reason I kept the game. Sure I like girls, but come on, i buy a fighting game to play a fighting game. Oh about the fighting physics they suck. You can about counter every freakin move. I used Hybusha for a few days and I beat a Super rank gamer on DOA online, how pathetic. The graphics are all that seemed to please the eyes except for B-factor. Anyways When it comes down to it, matrial art fighting is way better than this, To me this is horrible tekken clone that diserves to be put down for good, DOA 4, a clone of this game with more characters, whooo who cares. Anyways if your looking for a awsome fighting game pick up the best, Soul Caliber II or if you like Tekken buy Tekken 5, but please save yourself the money and dignity skip this one...
The Hits Keep Coming!!! October 26, 2004

( For those of you reading this review this is some serious truth and not some hype ^_^)
I've been fairly loyal to the DOA series ever since it was released on the playstation after first appearing on the sega saturn. To be honest that game had left me breathless within in the first few minutes of play; and it wasn't just because of the cool fighting engine.
After playing DOA and moving onto DOA 2 I was amazed yet again on how improved the graphics were and how the game engine almost had you feel like you were delivering and taking every blow. Also with the "jinken" type reversal system it truly made a person want to learn the aspects and techniques of every combatant so you could become an ultimate fighter.
When DOA 3 came out it simply was blowing all other fighters out of the water. Improved graphics, even more detailed and interactive environments, a few new faces, and plenty of old goodies and some sweet new techniques.
Now combine all the time, knowledge, and effort from the previous three and you'll get something that proves to be the ultimate challange. Not only do the players get the enhanced graphics, new moves, more costumes, perfect endings and beginnings for each character, but we also get online play. No more having to beat your friends over and over again until they get tired of losing. This is finally a true test to show off your skills and test your mettle. Someone is always telling you that there's most likely someone else out there that's better than you, so now's the time to prove them wrong.
The first 2 DOA games must have been preludes December 4, 2004

Because this hard hittin' renowed 2-game classic blows them out of the water.
Pros:
-Excellent Graphics(Both games got a graphical tune-up, especially DOA2)
-Superb Voice acting
-Simple, but addictive button mashing gameplay
-It has the DOA 1 that didn't make it to America(Not the modified PS1 version)
-So much to do:
--Unlocking costumes(All wemon have over 20!(DOA2) Allright!!)
--Unlocking the CGI gallery
--Unlocking short videos
--Unlocking Hitomi(Who wasn't in DOA2)
-DOAXBV don't get left out in the rain, because the valuptiunous hunnies that got this game on the map get bakinis in this. Oh Yea!!)
-New enviornments, and a opening FMV have been added to DOA2
-Stage falls are for-jorkin' hillarious(Especially when they roll down stairs. Tumble-Tumble-Tumble)
-As always the sex appeal is very high, and lookin at the wemon sometimes makes me laugh(If you know what I mean)
-The replay value is very high
-Online play is really the jam in the doughnut. It's fun and it shows the world how good, or bad you are.
-Limited edition version incluedes trading cards(Nice)
-This is the ultimate package for DOA fans, that should not be missed by any fan of fighting
Cons:
-Not much has been improved in DOA1
-You must have data from DOA3 or DOAXBV to unlock Hitomi. (I feel bad for those that don't have that)
-Story mode for both games make no sense
-Why couldn't they put FMVs for endings for DOA2
-Online play shows how bad I am.(In other words, I suck against real pros at this game)
This game is, so far the best DOA game to his the market, and the goodness of extras and online play definitly made me grab this. For those who love fighting, you must get this game. If you're a DOA fan and don't have this, then get it. This title should definitly not be missed.
peace
