About this product

Product Information

Tecmo's arcade hit Dead or Alive comes to the PlayStation. Choose from 11 different characters each with smooth, realistic character models, unique moves, and combinations that are easy to execute with the punch, kick, and hold control scheme. The hold button adds a new level of strategy to the game, as it allows the player to stop the opponent's attack and pull off a counterattack. Danger zones add another piece of strategy; when a player is knocked down in a danger zone, he or she suffers massive damage. After winning the martial arts tournament in the Arcade mode, players are awarded one of 84 costumes for their characters. If the Arcade mode is not to your liking, try the Kumite, Survival, or Team Battle modes. Should your friends question your supremacy, take them out with the versus mode. Dead or Alive brings new levels of strategy to the PlayStation.

Just as good as the Saturn version with the additional characters Ayane and Bass. For the longest time I thought their first appearance was the second
Just as good as the Saturn version with the additional characters Ayane and Bass. For the longest time I thought their first appearance was the second game, but to my surprise they were in the PS1 version of Dead or Alive.
