5.0 out of 5 stars Best DoA since DoA2 on the Dreamcast May 30, 2011

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I admit this is my first and, so far, only game for the 3DS but it really is GREAT and instantly made me love the 3DS.

I've played DoA since the very first, back in the glory days of the PSX and always enjoyed it, same for DoA: Dimensions.

It plays really smooth and looks great, for those who know imagine DoA2 on the Dreamcast (graphics-wise) plus more fighters, more arenas, more gameplay modes and the added 3D-effect which makes it look even more amazing. You really get kinda sucked into the arena. Instead of just looking AT the screen you're looking INTO the screen like into a little cube, and inside there are little 3D-people beating each other. ;D

Wether you're a veteran or totally new to DoA, you'll instantly know your way around.
Fighting mechanics are great as always and you'll instantly have fun beating the crap out of your opponent, while the difficulty level goes up just right to keep up with it. Plus you have a list of moves on the touch screen, so no more going to the options menu in the middle of a fight just to check out a move you wanna try.

If you like fighting and have a 3DS, this is it! I ABSOLUTELY recommend this game. Just get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun and addictive fighting game. June 5, 2011

Great game. I have this, Super Street Fighter IV 3d, and Pilotwings. I rank this even higher than Street Fighter 3d which was a very good game in itself. I took a risk buying this game, never having played a DOA game before, and came out pleasantly surprised.

The strength of this game are the fighting system, characters, lore, graphics, modes, and unlockables. Unlockables include other characters (including bosses you can play as), multiple costumes for each character, stages, deeper tiers within each mode, system voices, and figurines.

And yes the 3d works very well.

Switching 3d on and off is a simple matter of using the slider. This game and Street Fighter gives you 60 fps when you turn 3d off. In Street Fighter you had to do it through the menu for the game to recognize it. Here you just use the slider.

Consider me a new fan of the DOA series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome edition to 3DS and the DOA series!! May 25, 2011

First of all, I love Amazon's same day delivery! Amazing to receive it same day to get a start on it.
DoAD is an awesome edition to the Dead or Alive series. I've been a huge fan since the beginning of the DOA series.

The 3DS edition is by far the heftiest version in terms of added gameplay. From Tag Challanges, Arcade, the new Chronicle mode, Verses (Online&Local!),Survival, to the showcase, street pass, spot pass (receive free items from Tecmo!!) and taking pictures of figurines you'll collect in 3D.
If you've been a fan since beginning too, you'll instantly recognize alot of the cutscenes that are in the new Chronicle mode. I was very very happy to see them again, giving me great nostalgia of the good ol days. The cutscenes are shared along with the in-game graphic (which are beautiful 3DS graphics) cutscenes as well that move along the story, however, for whatever reason by Tecmo, are very static. I really don't mind this, but it would of been nice to see a little more interaction by the characters. The fmv cutscenes more than make up for this, in my opinion, because I couldnt get enough of how much they were putting into this from the previous series. Again, if you've been a huge fan as I have, you'll instantly recognize every scene being played out from the previous games.

Internet is where its at ofcourse, taking your skills online. I've had a great experience, mainly lag free, but I have had instances where there was lag to heavy lag, however we can't always expect perfect connection. It was only a few matches, so nothing to worry about. I'm quite happy with online mode. I haven't done any local yet. And I believe challenges for coop online, are only by friend. So if anyone wants to play coop challenge, please let me know! We can exchange codes.

Arcade isn't what is used to be on previous DOA. I think some might be turned off by this fact, but I understand this decision because of Chronicle mode, there seems to be no point to add a story in Arcade as previous DOA installments. In Arcade, you just go thru the typically line of fighters, in what is known as "Course". There are 6 courses to go thru I believe, with each set of fighters to fight. Doing this mode unlocks your costumes and more figurines to collect. Again, there are no special endings scenes (or beginnings for that matter), because of Chronicle mode.

I do love the 3D on this game, its nice to see the beautiful rendered characters and background in 3D, along with the special effects that pop out at you.

If you have DOA or are planning to buy, WHICH it is a must buy, esp if you are a fan of DOA. Tecmo is releasing a costume download everyday until the 30th (of May) for each of the women in DOA, so if you havent already, make sure your spot pass is enabled!! It'll be shown as "DOWNLOAD 01".

I HIGHLY recommend this purchase! If anyone wants to exchange friend codes, please feel free to let me know, I'd like to try coop Tag Challenge online, and of course, normal fighting.
