User Rating: 7 | Dead or Alive Ultimate XBOX
This title contains DOA 1 and 2.

DOA1 was an interesting 3D fighting game for it's time because it was fast,had a unique countering system and when you knocked opponents on certain parts of the arena floor it would cause explosions and cause them to lose more health.

DOA1 introduced interesting diverse characters such as Jan Lee who has incredible hand speed and fights similar to Bruce Lee I guess.Wrestler characters and assassins,a very agile ninja,a Muay Thai style kickboxer.

DOA1 gave interesting information about each character,such as display their favorite food and occupation on the character select screen,

The highlight of the package is DOA 2.It's very beautiful to look at and is also very fast paced.Instead of exploding out of bounds arenas,the fighting environments in DOA2 allow characters to knock their opponents through walls or into objects of off ledges(which results in extra damage)and you can hit them as they rebound off objects.

You can fight opponents in Africa and knock them into an elephant.

The main mode for single player is story mode,which are 1 round battles that get the battle over and done with.

It's easy to string combos together and to perform powerful special moves,but the CPU is very punishing on normal difficulty if you miss with an attack or if it predicts your attack and the CPU will constantly counter you to make you vary up your strategy because it will punish you if it predicts and stops whatever attack you try on it.If you play this game on the easy difficulty level it's too easy.

The fighting environments in DOA2 consist of a beautiful beach with nice white sand and beautiful water and palm trees,african plains with giant Hippos and elephants.In an aquarium surrounded by sealife,inside buildings that are of asian design,industrial area,in the forest,on a snowy mountain or in a fancy studio with lots of TV screens all lite up.

There is lots of costumes for the characters and they come in good variety.For example Jan Lee can wear a few different styles of business suits or different styles of martial arts clothing.Tina can dress in a cat-woman costume or in a wrestling outfit.

And I love hearing the fight announcer saying ''Get ready,FIGHT!'' because the female announcer has a cute voice.The music has a light feel to it and makes the game more relaxing to play.You'll even hear Jan Lee doing Bruce Lee style psych ups and he even moves like Bruce Lee.

This title is a lot of fun but the bad balance of the difficulty levels took away some of the fun.
