Dead Or Alive 5 is the eagerly anticipated fifth game in the incredible Dead Or Alive saga, with the series finally continuing after a seemingly never ending hiatus. This game brings back old and familiar faces, as well as introducing new characters, and is also the first throughout the entire franchise to be released on the Playstation 3.
Dead Or Alive 5 Tag Team Trailer
The vibrant and realistic graphics within this game are astounding, and display ample improvements since the previous DOA game. These improvements include details such as your character actually sweating the more energy they put in to a fight, adding a layer of realism. The game carries on its traditional combination of their own distinctive fighting style fusing perfectly with a specific blend of mixed martial arts, to bring you one of the best high-action fighting games around. Prepare yourself to deliver powerful punches and devastating kicks to your opponent, with your only chance of achieving victory in the Dead Or Alive tournament is by completely decimating each and every foe that challenges you.
Several new features have been developed for this game in order to help you achieve ultimate victory. This includes Power Moves, with which you can trigger a specially charged attack that sets off a slow motion cinematic attack combo, allowing you to aim and launch your quarry. Another new feature is the interactive environments, allowing you to use them to your advantage, as well as the backdrop changing as the fight progresses in order to further challenge your skills. A new Danger Zone has also been added to this game called a Cliffhanger, where should a fighter lose their footing on the edge of an environment, for example a cliff, they will be given the chance to recover when they fall as they will grab the edge of the cliff.
These new features and impressive game developments allow the player to completely immerse themselves with their character, each fight leaving them as breathless and exhilarated as if they had actually fought themselves. Hone and perfect your fighting skills and abilities so you can win the tournament, and be crowned as the Ultimate Fighter. (Cat Emerson)

Dead or Alive Update
I pretty decent fighting game, which I enjoyed once I had figured out why none of the game modes were available. After inserting the disk and installing the game I was directed to apply a 200Mb compulsory update from Xbox Live. Once the update was installed, all of the game modes are crossed out and the only thing you can access is the in game marketplace. The trick is to find the free content pack download in the marketplace (another 200Mb) and install that as well before you can play the game. A bit dumb as it does not even put this compulsory content pack at the top of the marketplace list or really explain that you need to install it to play. Once past this I enjoyed the game.

Dead or Alive 5
Dead or Alive 5 is a serious contender for the best fighter of the year with interesting characters, an in-depth fighting system which is easy to play yet hard to master so appeals to a wide range of players and also brings something new from its predecessor. If you're only buying one fighting game this year, Dead or Alive 5 would find a perfect space on your shelf.

Not quite!
It's been 7 years since D.O.A. 4, and I expected something more from Dead or Alive 5! It's still a solid fighting game but why did they have to change the story mode? The fighting is the same with a few good adds, but I would have liked more characters and modes. Oh and you can't play the game without an internet connection on your Xbox!

Bouncing Comeback
Dead or Alive 5 is a great fighting game. The story mode keeps you quite busy for some time. However, if you are looking forward for some smaller outfits, you'll have to pay for them.

Solid addition in the DOA series
If you're a fan of the DOA series, you can immediately get this Dead or Alive 5. Although it is more of the same, the subtle refinements, new stages and 5 new characters make it an enjoyable game to play. If you are a fighting game fan, and you already have played Tekken Tag Tournament 2, this is a good alternative, especially if you're looking for a slightly faster paced type of game. So whether you're new to the series or a veteran, this game offers enough value to grant a purchase!

DOA Is Back!
Dead or Alive 5 went under a risky development after the abandoning of Team Ninja, but the final result is one of the best chapters of the series. There are few but significant new features, like the power hits, hanging by a thread, and the even more breath taking interactive arenas. Learning how to take advantage of the danger zones, counter attacks, holds and counter holds is essential to fully enjoy the game. Unfortunately, along with improvements there are also some issues, like the missing of an extensive tutorial, except for tips in story mode, which could cause newbies in the series to not fully understand the mechanics. Another downfall is the lack of endings for each character in arcade mode. That said, it's great value for money. It's a must-buy!
