I had a much easier time pulling off more difficult combos in this version than I did previously. Controls feel even tighter and more fine-tuned than the Vita version, with each button press feeling more responsive. Finally, the return of one of my favorite arenas from Dead or Alive 3, The Lost World, where you are fighting on an endless series of high cliffs! There are other tweaks made to the original arenas as well, they almost feel like new areas themselves. Desert wasteland features an uneven play field that can change the way you defend, and the Aircraft carrier has all sorts of dangers surround you. Sky City Tokyo is a large open area, with a giant statue that can crush you. Everyone is available from the start (including Alpha 152 and Gen-Fu) with no crazy tasks to complete to get them.Īlong with new fighters, outfits and combos are new fighting arenas to pummel your opponents in. Joining Jacky are Dead or Alive 4’s Leon, Ninja Gaiden’s Momiji and Rachel, and Hayate’s alter ego Ein from Dead or Alive 3, rounding out our list of newcomers. Rejoining the cast are the guest Virtua Fighter characters Akira Yuki, Sarah Bryant and Pai Chan, along with the new (and welcome) addition of Jacky Bryant. All of the characters from the original are included each with new costumes to unlock and a variety of new combos to master. You also retain all of your titles you’ve unlocked previously, plus Tecmo have added even more titles for you to acquire if you so desire. Your saves and costumes you’ve unlocked carry over from the original so no worries about having to beat the story mode or unlock the costumes again. I usually don’t say this, but if you have plain Dead or Alive 5 for Xbox 360 or PS3, it’s time to sell it, trade it, or give it away, as this is the version you need. Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is here, and it is truly an “Ultimate” version worth picking up! Tecmo upgraded DOA 5 slightly for the PS Vita with DOA 5 Plus, but that was only the beginning. The original DOA 5 was a great fighter, with excellent graphics and solid gameplay. Usually when a great game gets a “Super” or “Ultimate” version, it’s usually just one or two added features, maybe a new character or two, but Tecmo is slowly changing that rule.
