 "DOA 3 Somewhat dissapoiting" | 2009-03-21 |

| When I first heard DOA 3 was coming out I had high expectations for the game since the previous game DOA had impressed me with gorgeous graphics, an amazing soundtrack and a smooth fighting system. When I first played DOA 3 it looked just like DOA alive 2 until you actually start fighting. The feeling is just not the same. Sure there are more characters and new locations, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the fighting system sucks |

 "What else can you say about this game??" | 2008-01-07 |
| - Reviewed By enigmatikone |
| Ok first off let me say that I dont really do the fighting game scene, I am an RPG/Sports and FPS (First person shooter) person... but my friend came over and said hey put this in. The next thing I know its four hours later and everyone that was there was calling for the controller. This game has some awesome graphics, easy controls so for all you novices out there (and i mean that in a good way) it wont be too hard to just jump into the game. Its story line is good even though it is a little bit short. Which in my opinion is the only downfall of the game. They have some great cut scenes and you which ever character you use, you learn a little more about why they are there and what they are doing for it. but like i said that is the only downfall of this game. If you are looking for a game that you can play with friends or by yourself then this is for you. |

| " Dead or Alive 3 defines what a fighter should be with it's amazing visuals and sound, but other than that, it's ordinary" | 2006-12-28 |

A step ahead from Dead or Alive 2. The story is about a fighting tournament which offers a big cash reward. Each fighter is in it for a certain reason whether it is for glory, riches, or to confront another in a fight. Now, what do you notice, first of all? The graphics! The graphics are well detailed and it's near the summit of graphic design.
The soundtrack is great and features bands like Aerosmith. Each character has their own theme song. Attacks, moves, and crashes have relistic sounds to them. The Story Mode is good. You can play the role of each character and then unlock their movie clips and costumes. There is a practice mode where you can practice your techniques. A Time Survival mode where you try to beat the enemies fast. There is a tag team mode where each character can tag in. One fights while one heals. There is team battle where each player can have up to 5 characters and they duke it out.
The character variety is awesome. You got the slow, but powerful characters. You have the fast, but weaker characters. You have the average characters. Each character is good at something like punches, kicks, crunches, and a mix of some of those. There are over a hundred moves for each character and plenty of combos to try out. The settings can set the difficulty, the controls, and the sound which is decent. The environments are beautiful. Some have electric walls. Some have areas to fall. Some have little and some have plenty when it comes to space. This game is great for multiplay and for single play. The game is a step up from most fighters, but it's not anything that a game hasn't done before. All in all, DOA fans will love this. 2d Fighting fans will love this. You can punch, kick, grab, defend, and pull of combos. The game can be beaten easily unless you challenge yourself, but never the less, this game has a thick amount of replay value.
Pros: Beautiful graphics with detailed characters and environments. Fighting gameplay is great and a nice soundtrack to go with it. Good selection of characters and many modes to play in. Multiplayer is very entertaining and the game has juicy amount of replay value.
Cons: Behind the stunning graphics and sound, the game isn't that much innovative to other fighters. |

| This game has a lot of potential. Anybody notice the feet are too big, though? Anyway, the fighting moves are really on point. The grappling moves look good, not generic like other games where characters are automatically in a takedown or hold. The female wrestler should probably have her own game as well, with other wrestler type characters. Maybe we can have her do a guest appearence on the next Rumble Roses game? Oh well. The game can get boring after a while, with little extras. And yes, the women are great to watch in action. Almost famous for this one. |

 "A Really Fun Game, Terrific Graphics" | 2005-03-15 |

| I'm not a huge video game fan, but I happen to have an X-Box and my friend had this game. I played it a few times with two player and I got beat everytime. I couldn't figure out if it was because I suck or if it was because he was better. Well, I beat the game with all the characters in less than a week. The game has a large number of different modes, including Story Mode, Time Mode, Team mode where you make a team and then fight a bunch of other people. Story mode is a lot different from other story modes I have done in games. You pick a character out of the 20 or so characters and then fight a bunch of people until you reach Omega and unlock a movie. You have to do this with all the characters to unlock the movies. This is a really nice touch. This game is addicting and maddening as well. I threw the controller across the room. The graphics are terrific, the movies you unlock look like a real movie and it is just spectacular to watch. A- |
