Dead or Alive 2
We, the hard2hate2000 staff in UK have got our filthy hands on 
Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore for PS2. There have been rumors about
 it being no different from the Dreamcast version, but these 
rumors are incorrect. The PS2 version runs much smoother than 
the Dreamcast version and may even have slightly enhanced 
graphics. What Tecmo did not include in the Dreamcast version is
 in the PS2 version. Another few extras which the US DC version
 does not have is the new CG gallery mode and a new character,
 Bayman. As it stands, the "Hardcore" part of the name will
 already bring smiles to the faces of many male gamers. 

Dead or Alive 2 for the PS2 game console is a true masterpiece. 
Sorry, Street Fighter fans, but this game makes EX3 look like 
the original Street Fighter II for SNES. DOA2 is one of the most
 realistic games I have ever played. Unlike Tekken, it does not
 shoot out little unrealistic sparks every time your hit makes
 contact on the opponent. In the beginning of every battle in 
story mode, every character has a short cinema. A negative of 
this game, however, is the small amount of characters that are 
playable. Tekken Tag has 36 characters while DOA2 only has 13 
characters. 

One of the most spectacular features of this game is the 
massive, multi-level, multi-room arenas. The huge arenas allow 
players to throw each other through walls, into electrified 
fences, and off rooftops, and continue to fight in the next room
 or on the lower level of the arena. Equally as spectacular are
 the women of the game -- it seems to have its own "boobie-
jubbling" engine built into the game. The realism and the lack 
of clothing on the female fighters really adds that extra edge 
to the game for us male gamers.
