The best fighting game of 2012 so far.
Dead or Alive, the series known for selling boobs and hips, now it developed gameplay a lot.
the good:
- Gameplay. Yes!! very fun to play. I never liked any 3D fighting game this much.
- Graphics. impressive. all the characters and maps are in high quality. they have sweat, they get dirty and they get wet.
- Sound. good sound effect in every maps. feel like we're there.
- Characters. the weakest point of Virtua Fighter series is characters but TECMO did it right with this series. it's one of the strongest point of this game.
- Unlockable contents. I'm enjoy unlocking stuffs like alternate attires and titles. some of them are hard to unlock but can be consider as challenges.
- Story mode. enjoying it so far.
- Online. smooth. nothing to complain.
the bad:
- the game randomly freeze for ~1/4 second during the match. not so often but still annoying.
The most strongest point of this game is not the female characters like the majority of people think. It's the gameplay!! yes! Dead or Alive 5 has the best gameplay that I've never seen in any 3D fighting games.
