Dead or Alive 5 IGN Video Review:





"The Verdict

Dead or Alive 5 is, without any question, the best entry in the series. It retains its identity as a fast-paced, visually stunning 3D fighter, while shedding much of the baggage that's typically held it back. While there's still plenty of eye candy for both the ladies and gents, it's taken a back seat to what fighting games should be all about: fighting.

It gives the casual fan a fighting experience that's as easy to grasp as it is exciting to watch, while providing more serious players the depth and features they need to stay interested. Give Dead or Alive 5 an honest chance, and you’ll find a formidable, enormously entertaining fighter that will keep you busy for a long time to come."

SO:
I will wait maybe a Wii U version will come out. If not I will buy it for 360 or PS3 haven't decided yet but I will get it for sure!

So who of you is going to buy it?
What version? 




Around the Network

Looks cool. I like that the hit animations aren't overblow with red and blue explosions (See: Tekken: Tag Tournament 2).

Still not my thing though.. I have always preferred Mortal Kombat above all else. Nonetheless, I'm glad to see this series is improving itself!



I prefer tekken Dead or alive flows weird to me.

I never liked tekken because the older games were so super slow.  I will give the new one a chance tho.



Meanwhile it's on a 75 metascore and TTT2 which they gave 75 is on 83. YA STILL GOT IT IGN

Oh ttt2 is much faster than the old ones. 



I kinda wanna give this a go. Maybe when it's cheap.

Time for hype

I play my brother's copy and it's pretty fun. The story mode is a waste of 5 hours, but everything else is very well done. Virtua Fighter 5 is still the best overall fighter to come out this year, but the reversal system in DOA 5 is still unmatched.

Can't say I'm a fan, I'm more of a Mortal Kombat/Street fighter kinda guy
