What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"What really makes the feature such a standout is the incorporation of 'tag combo' moves. These 'tag combos' range from two fighters stringing together a number of punch and kick attacks to special double team moves reserved for specific pairs of fighters." "
"Matches are less straightforward than you'd be inclined to think. Attacks come at varying heights, requiring you to predict the blocking stance that will adequately deflect the blow. Levels include zones of uneven elevation, making it possible to knock characters off of platforms and send them crashing to the ground, stories below." "
"When the chips are down, Dead or Alive 2 is one of the best beat-em-ups on the Dreamcast, and rather amusingly, a lot of people whose opinions count rate it more so than they do the PlayStation 2 version, but without the added longevity of games like Powerstone and Soul Calibur, itll be warming the shelf within a week or two. "
"DoA2 is different in the fighters can actually intercept certain blows in midstream and counterstrike with a timely press of the 'free' button. Such a feature along with the multi-tiered environments, where fighters can take huge hazardous falls into new zones, can really make a huge difference in both intensity and the mindset of two competitors."
"It took my new playable copy Dead or Alive 2 running on the Dreamcast to convince me of it, but I'm now sure that I do have the greatest job in the world."
