They said that nothing could out do Sega's Saturn conversion of Virtua Fighter 2 and maybe they were right since none on Sega's other 3D fighters come close to the sharpness of Virtua Fighter 2. But who came to prove it could be done? Tecmo converted their model 2 fighter to the Saturn with amazing results !! The game looks more solid that VF2, characters look beefier and the backgrounds look more 3Dish than those of Virtua Fighter 2. So, Dead Or Alive looks just as good if not better than Virtua Fighter 2 but how does it play? Well, it's not as complex as Virtua Fighter 2 making it easier to get into but that's not to say that there aren't loads of moves to master. Each character can take quite some time to master just like Virtua Fighter 2's but I'm sure most people will start off with the ladies just so that they can witness their bouncing breasts (^v^). One novel feature are the danger zones around the ring. Knock your opponent on to these and they'll be blasted in to the air by an explosion. Leaving them open for a nice combo attack.

Dead Or Alive 2 in my book is the best 3D Saturn fighter there is. And better still, it's craps than the PlayStation version.
