Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore has been out for over 3 years, it's a old game, but the game still looks really good today. One really big advantage this game has over Dead or Alive 3 is that the costumes themselves are A LOT better than in Dead or Alive 3 for the Xbox is that some characters themselves have up to 8 costumes as the highest amount of costumes available for Dead or Alive 3 is 5 for 2 characters only. The graphics look perfect on the PS2, you really can't compare the graphics of this game to Dead or Alive 3's graphics, because Dead or Alive 3 was released for the Xbox which supports better graphics than the PS2. Another really big advantage between this game, Dead or Alive 3, AND Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball too, is that here the characters speek in English as their defalt languages, in Dead or Alive 3 and Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball the characters speek in Japanese with a subtiles in English. Even if you consider there are better fighting games out there, like Dead or Alive 3 which even with the costume problem and the language problem still looks better than this game, but this is the best and only Dead or Alive game for the PS2, and this game costs $17.99 right now, so you are paying $17.99 for a really good PS2 game. So if you are a fighting fan or any way interested in this game, than don't waste any more time and go buy it!
