  1. Video Game City

    8.5/10
    1 October 2007

    Dead or Alive 3 was Tecmo's first game for the Xbox, and it’s quite a good game. The graphics are still some of the best around, and the fighting itself is great. There are a few problems however, which you will read about later in the review. Read more

    The DOA series is one of the most controversial fighting games around. Fighting game elitists, in particular, seem to find joy in bashing the series. It has been called everything from a "button masher" to "hentai for the masses". In truth, DOA is as deep as any other fighting game, and excels in areas that others falter. Limbo stuns, open and closed stances, hi counters. Haven't heard of them? Check some FAQs. Where does DOA3 excel? Read more

    • Great Graphics, Polished Gameplay, 4 New Characters, CG Endings
    • Lack of Extras, Counter "catch" time needs to be reduced, Xbox controller isn't ideal for this game

    6.0/10
    16 November 2003

    Okay, you're looking at what I just wrote. You're seeing all those fours, and you're thinking, "Why am I only seeing three monkeys leering at me happily?" It's because, in short, DOA 3 isn't really offering us anything new and certainly doesn't do anything to push what our latest and greatest video game system is capable of. Read more

    • Awesome fighting system, incredible graphics
    • Just a port of DOA2 Hardcore with absolutely nothing to push it on the Xbox.

    Fans of the Dead or Alive series will not be disappointed by this game, but to the casual gamer, it might seem a little so-so. Graphics wise, the improvement is noticeable. The fighting system, though, remains the same. This one is a renter, because some people might just feel that it's the same old game with hot graphics. Read more

  1. Dead or Alive 3, Original Xbox

    Some people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images in video games, including suitgirls clad with `Pleaser Women's Seduce-3000' Thigh-High Boots. If your daughter gets lightheaded, stop playing Dead or Alive 3, and consult a doctor immediately- -children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. This Xbox Platinum Hit ain't just a fighting game; but rather, phenomena of pendulum cinematics. Read more
