| Here we go, another must have title for the Xbox. Those of you who played the Dead Or Alive series on other systems, would know that it was a revolutionary step in the terms of fighting games. Well, Techmo, the developers of the DOA series, have used the Xbox's awesome power to take the next step....unfortunately...only graphic wise. As Hyper, and other gaming mags have stated...the fighting techniques and styles, and everything else overall ( apart from the graphics ) are pretty much the same. Yes, this is true, but despite all this, DOA3 is a must buy still...for incredible Eye Candy!!! |

| As you can see from this screen shot to the left, even though the gameplay may be the same, the graphics are the main thing that add to the gameplay, therefore making it better. Console gaming is really getting to the point where arcade games will be put to shame, in that the graphics from arcade games would be no competition. Why waste your cash when you can get an Xbox and this superb game anyway? Is that really wasting your cash anyway? If you take and like your games seriously, 750 shouldn't be too much for you to pay... I mean 399 Aussie bucks! |
| Its always fun pulling off a kick ass move, beating the computer, or even better, multiplayer! Kicking your friends ass! Imagine it...i personally haven't got an extra controller...too pricy ( and no thats no an excuse for ' i dont have any friends' ) Anywho, its the attention to detail that makes this game good. Leaves fall from trees, snow moves when the player moves, when you hit a palm tree coconuts fall, smacking your opponent down onto the rock ground will even put cracks on the tiles! The best thing by far would be the interactivity with the levels...and i dont just mean the stuff mentioned above..i mean, theres nothing more satisfiying then knocking your opponent through a window and down onto the roof tiling below....or off the cliff edge and down onto the grassy terrain below..its stuff like that which makes the game more lifelike, interactivily, and therefore realistic. Theres nothing much else to say, i will just leave you with a quote from Temonobu Itagaki, the General Manager of Team Ninja, that made DOA3: " If another developer can make Dead Or Alive 3 look as good as it does on Xbox on any other platform, I will give them all my money" |
