The Story
As with any fighting game, the story is just plain horrible. I can understand that fighting games aren�t meant to have intricate and unique storylines, but Hardcore is absolutely ludicrous. And the dialogue between characters is utter nonsense. Before each battle, there is a small cutscene that consists of 1-2 liners between fighters. �Get out of my way� one fighter says. �Why?� says the other. And then the battle begins. �What is the point of this?� I asked myself. It just makes no sense whatsoever. It would have been a better game had Tecmo put no story in it at all.
In The End�
Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore is a great fighting game, with awesome graphics and many modes of gameplay. This game will keep one entertained for a long time. And if the graphics and gameplay don�t grab you, the girls of the game certainly will. With its only flaws in it's laughable dialogue and a story that lacks creativity and thought, I give Dead or Alive 2:Hardore a score of 8.25.
