Pros & Cons
Dead or Alive 3 Specs
| ESRB Rating: | T for Teen |
| Platform: | Xbox |
One of the must-have games during the Xbox launch, Dead or Alive 3 is Tecmo's latest version of the popular Dead or Alive fighting game series. It really is more of the same; if you have Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore for the PS2, you won't gain a whole lot in new game play. That said, the lifelike graphics, new characters, and interactive multilevel backgrounds are stunning, showing off the nVidia GPU's graphics horsepower. For those who have widescreen TVs or HDTV, DOA3 supports widescreen game play and prerendered cut scenes (between-play movies). And of course, the Xbox's built-in hard drive keeps your saved games in one place: no more searching for memory cards after unlocking new costumes or end movies.
