    It might be decadent, and looking at the screenshots in this review will tell you if it's a decadence that make you uncomfortable, but the gameplay behind it is rock solid and perfectly precise.

    Overall, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is the definitive version of a last gen game. Visually, it still looks great; however, it's still based on a last gen game. A new DoA running on current gen consoles with higher resolution textures can't come too soon, but for now, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is satisfactory.

    Despite the creaks and cracks of the franchise beginning to show, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is a solid and content-rich debut for the series on current-generation consoles.

    Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is meant for those who didn't play the original game on PS3 and Xbox 360: it's the most complete version to date, brought to you with 1080p and 60fps. Enjoy. The others should keep their money for the sixth episode.

    The definitive version of a good fighting game, but the limited visual upgrades for PS4 fall way short of our expectations. [Issue#254, p.68]

    While the new additions and the costume collection are nice, the strongest value of Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is its clean 1080p presentation on new-gen consoles where it performs cleanly and admirably.

    When all is said and done, DOA 5 ends up being a great looking, middle of the road fighter that still heavily relies on absurd female characters in revealing outfits to sell copies.

    This is not the typical fighter I normally play and I didn't expect to like it but everything just gels. It is a great pick up and play. Easy to grasp, great fun, great roster. Looks nice. Better than DoA 6.

    It's easy to recommend. It just works.    … Expand

    Out of all the games to get re-released I never thought that Dead or Alive 5 would be one of them. Hello everyone B-rod here, and I knowOut of all the games to get re-released I never thought that Dead or Alive 5 would be one of them. Hello everyone B-rod here, and I know normally I start with some sad pun, but this is so surprising that it got a re-release that I am just slack jawed. I played this fight game back in 2012 when it was first released and I have to say I didn't miss it one bit.

    The story is, is... oh **** I haven't got the slightest clue. The first half is about these fighters all being recruited to fight in the Dead or Alive tournament. While the second half is about ninjas taking on some even corporation that was doing something nefarious. The story jumps in the timeline so much I can''t keep the continuity straight. I'm honestly not sure what the hell was going on in this game. I have never played any of the other four Dead or Alive games so I don't know if this story fits with them or if this is some new and original bull****. All I can say is I am not into whatever they were throwing at me. I will say about 90% of the reasons on why the characters would fight was just either funny or **** stupid. Seriously sometimes it would be, "Hey you bumped into me, lets fight!". The story is about 3-4 hours long depending on how good you are and such. The story isn't hard until you get to the end boss fight and they whiped my ass as if I was a toddler in the UFC. If you're into the story that is awesome, but if you're new maybe read the wiki before starting.

    The game looks pretty damn good. I dug on how the characters would sweat, and get all scuffed up in the fight. The arenas get a bit repetitive but they are destructible and that in fighting games is a must. Team Ninja of course had their ridiculous boob physics. This game will offend people with the recent sexism in gaming. While the ladies in Dead or Alive are BAMF they are overly sexualized to the point that even I would start to think is someone supposed to get off on this? Of course I would immediately never want to find out. Anyways the game looks freaking good. The voice acting is about as good as a anime so it is just ok and over acted.

    The gameplay is the reason why Dead of Alive has five games. This is very complicated. At the surface you can do what I do and just button mash to victory, or you can learn how to play and know how to counter multiple ways, and do combos, and wipe the floor with your opponent in mere minutes. Besides a graphic upgrade though I didn't see any improvements from the original Dead or Alive 5. I will say I avoided the online because I know I suck and didn't feel like committing suicide this week. I will say the tag team fighting is nice, while it isn't the first game to do it, this was still nice to have. The roster has a good amount of characters not too few, but also not so large that you can't master everyone.

    Overall I enjoy this game, but only as a rental. If I bought this it would be on the shelf never picked up again. The fighting is deep and complicated much like how they tell this story that jumps around to no end. If you're into the series getting this on the next gen seems like a good way to spend the weekend, but to newcomers I don't see this winning you over. I give this a 3.5 out of 5, it was short and confusing, but the fighting is a large amount of fun and the reason why people will stay. I leave with a question. Is Dead or Alive anyones' favorite fight game franchise? I've never met anyone who loved these games.    … Expand
