Dead or Alive 2 – Platinum (PlayStation 2)

Released exclusively for the Japanese market (and to to be confused with DOA: Hardcore), Dead or Alive 2 is a faithful reproduction of the original arcade game of the same name. Initially designed on SEGA’s NAOMI board, DOA2 features 14 different interactive environments, seven various game modes (including tag battle and survival), a 60FPS framerate, and additional lighting effects not found in the coin-op. Dead or Alive 2 also boasts all-new costumes, enhanced wardrobe textures, and is the only version of the game across all platforms not to include a “bounce gauge” for the female combatants.
