Review by Rage012

"A good fighting game that needs work."

Sound 7/10
It has good sound, but nothing to brag about. It is just a regular sound machine. But it could have used a couple more songs. It should have had good sound like the other Capcom games but it was just a regular- sounding game. The game has a voice saying something at the end of a match. It says Perfect if you didn't get hit. If you like games with perfect sound, this is not the game for you.

Graphics 8/10
The graphics are pretty good, I think that the 2D games should have been left along with the SNES. The graphics are much like the graphics in a SNES fighting game. The graphics hardly ever glitch. The fireballs and stuff look pretty good. The moves go smoothly. When you do a super- combo the background turns white and yellow. But it is supposed to do that. It has basicly goods graphics.

Gameplay
It really lacks in gameplay. I would have liked to see a lot more modes. It has training, arcade, 2 player vs., and team battle wich is hidden (hard to get). If it had as many modes as Street Fighter Alpha 3 it would be a really good game. There are many moves, but most are to hard to pull off. You can get secret characters like, Akuma, Dan, and M. Bison. I was suprised to see wrestlig moves. I saw the powerbomb a lot. The games should have been turned up a notch.

Overall 6/10
I recomend Dead or Alive for Fighting fans. It has much more modes to choose from. If you are a fighting and wrestling fan, get WWF Attitude. But if you you like 3D then Street Fighter Alpha is not your game. I think Dead or Alive is much, much better than SFA. If you like Street Fighter get Street Fighter Alpha 3.
