One of the best fighting games out there!
Beautiful graphics; Smooth textures; Fun gameplay; Great multiplayer; Decent soundtrack.
--CONS--
Terrible English voice acting; Story mode is short and not very challenging
DOA 2: Hardcore is (In my opinion) one of the best fighting games out there, it's fun to play, the controls need a little bit of getting used to but it's overall a very decent game. The only thing I didn't really like about this game were the English voices, so when you first play the game go over to the options screen, change the voice to Japanese, turn on the subtitles to English (Or whatever language you speak) Trust me, the English voice acting is just.... terrible.
But still, the game is fun for both Single player modes, and Multiplayer modes, but the Story mode is kinda short and not very challenging, but that's not important.
The weirdest feature I found in this game, is to look at pictures of the female characters in bikinies, and dresses. To me, that's a weird but cool feature! (Don't judge me! I'm a lonely guy! lol)
So if you happen to see this game in EB games or GameStop for a decent price (I got this game for about $14.99 at EB games) I say give it a go!
