The counter system was pretty neat. But there are a lot of beewbs
I played this game a lot since it was one of the only games I had for my Dreamcast... it's okay? DOA to me has always felt like a fighting game made with button mashers in mind.
On one hand the game really doesn't visually stand out among some other titles released on ps2, on the other hand this entry is just way easier to pick up and play with how much better it handles then the first game. definitely not a bad game whatsoever it just feels evident this game could have been polished a bit better in its presentation
Very good fighting game.
Super aesthetic, and really fun overall.
adoro o gameplay dos DOA por ser mais rápido e mais fácil pra alguem que ainda não tá habituado a jogos de luta.
bem melhorzinho que o primeiro, um puta upgrade em
It seems that Dead or Alive 1 was alive enough to get a sequel.
Dead or Alive 2 is a really fun sequel to its poorly made older brother, it pretty much takes everything from the console port of Dead or Alive 1 and just cranks the graphics and gameplay's smoothness to 100, it's a wonderful sequel that maybe doesn't bring much to the table other than a few basic game modes but it polishes the hell out of its predecessor and for a fighting game that's the most important thing to do.
It obviously adds more characters, stages, and game modes compared to Dead or Alive 1, the roaster doubled from its predecessor and the stages actually feel like new stages since they have this thing called danger zones, little quirk event that happens if a character get thrown offstage then a small cutscene plays and the combat resume where the character fell, dynamic stages are such a nice addition, it really reminds me of those QTEs from the Yakuza games.
And another important addition would be the Story mode, each character has its own "story" but in reality, it's just an Arcade mode with very short cutscenes between characters to explain their relations with each other, some have cutscenes and some don't but it's a very vague way to add lore, it could be a whole lot better and feel like it was made as an afterthought, though if you complete each story in the Limited Edition Japanese release you unlock Bayman from Dead or Alive 1.
Dead or Alive 2 on the Dreamcast might be the best entry point for anyone, especially the Japanese version called the "Limited Edition" which adds two new unlockable characters, new stages, and game modes. This game is really noob friendly as it doesn't take long to learn how the combat works, it's overall just a very fun game to play even solo against CPUs.
Overall just a really good sequel that polishes everything and makes the game a ton of fun to play, the best characters are Tina, Leon, Jann Lee, and Ein.

Tekken for people who will never touch a woman.
This is a very honest fighting game, every character has basically the same tools with unique characteristics, so with solid basics (Attack heights, counters, grabs, etc.) you can probably choose any character and win, but that also means that the skill ceiling is very high, a couple mistakes and you are out, so you really have to think to win, especially in team battle were your partner can heal if you switch, the result is a very engaging experience, one that doesn't surprise me to be so fondly remembered.
If you are here for the campaign, I have to warn you, the plot is a mess. Each fighter goes through 7 fights (6 + final boss) with some cutscenes between them, which may or may not be connected, the result is a barely coherent tale with some (Gen Fu for example) and a series of nonsense with others (I'm looking at you Ayane). Even the final boss is only relevant in like 3 of all the 12 fighters stories. The bright side is that each is like 10 minute long, so it isn't a lot of time and well, at least you can say it tries to make something more than the typical fighting game of the time.
Also yes, this game is full of fan service (Just look at the CG galley), be careful if that's a turn-off, otherwise, enjoy

tetas com um pouquinho de luta
so fluid and fucking lit gas fart
This game feels so weird, like Soulcalibur and Virtua Fighter on acid.
good fighting game
A good sequel that polishes up the original DoA experience with some neat new additions too. It holds up visually today even on the Dreamcast, truly feels like a next gen step for the series and gaming as a whole. I especially like the stage mechanics and switching here, makes the fast, frantic action only more exciting with each match.
I enjoyed this game far more than I had imagined!
It’s definitely worth playing it if you call yourself a fan of fighting games! The absurdity of the moves and sending yourself or enemies flying is awesome.

Chichis: el juego
Demorei para fazer uma review desse jogo, pois não mexo muito nesse site, agora que voltei a ativa esse jogo merece a minha análise.
Dead or Alive é um jogo peculiar, o game lembra demais o SoulCalibur por ser um jogo de luta em 3D e os comandos de ambos são bem parecidos, o que destaca em Dead or Alive são os próprios personagens, que conseguem ser bem o suco puro do final da década de 90 e início dos anos 2000. Eu curti bastante o design dos personagens (Kasumi e Hayate/Ein são meus favoritos) e da própria apresentação do jogo que é bem diferentona na minha opnião. Os cenários tem algumas ressalvas por serem meio genéricos, mas outros capricharam nos detalhes, por incrível que pareça eu curto o cenário de gelo que não tem muita coisa, mas achei um pouco “relaxante” ver um cenário simples e agradável.
Como um bom jogo de luta os comandos precisam ser responsivos e fluídos, o que realmente são, em nenhum momento senti que fui prejudicado pelo controle e movimentação do boneco, simplesmente bem feitos e gostoso de se jogar mesmo não sabendo o que apertar. O problema é a máquina apelona mesmo. Por mais que jogo seja só luta, acho interessante que existam outros modos de luta e coisinhas para desbloquear durante a gameplay.
O problema em DOA 2 foi os diálogos e apresentação da história, que jogando pela primeira vez achei bem confuso e o diálogos bem pobres, juntando a péssima dublagem dos personagens (o que faz ser um elemento engraçado até), no modo história quando joguei com a Kasumi, fui batalhar com a Ayane, rival de Kasumi, esperei uma cinemática bem teatral e dramática, mas o jogo mostra um diálogo bem rapidinho e acabou. Contudo é um defeito que não atrapalha em sua jogatina e lutas é só um detalhe narrativo que gostaria de ter visto.
Logo chego a conclusão que ficaria no meu Top 10 jogos de luta facilmente, o jogo é bem divertido, jogablidade maneira e bons personagens. Aliás tem o filme e achei bem divertido afinal hahaha
