    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.

    I’m blown away by how well thought out the base design in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is.

    Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is an excellent ending point for this chapter of the series. It takes all of the groundwork laid in DoA5 and polishes it off in the best way possible. Armed with an excellent roster of characters and a ton of modes, this is a great introduction to 3D fighting on the new generation of fighters. Just be prepared to be smothered with DLC options.

    Last Round is the absolute best version of Dead or Alive 5 to own, with a caveat. The odd pricing model hurts it, as does the overabundance of DLC, but at its core, has the smoothest gameplay of anything out there now and delivers the goods online more often than not.

    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.

    Dead or Alive Last Round is still a great fighter but is slowly starting to show its age, even with the overtly sexualised anime inspired characters.

    The definitive DOA for your PS4. Old content greatly outweighs the new. Still plays like a dream. [April 2015, p80]

    If you own the original game then there's not much here for you. But if you haven't and you are looking for the best 3D fighter for your shiny, new PS4, you can't go wrong with the Last Round edition of DOA5.

    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.

    A solid, extremely accessible fighting game, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is certainly worth adding to your collection if you’re a fan of the genre.

    Last Round is a good re-release of the original experience on the PS4. It manages to keep the trademark low barrier of entry and complexity, but it still offers plenty of depth for fighting game fans. Even if it advertises its DLC a lot, and the titillating physics aren't to everyone's taste, you can have a lot of fun with the new title.

    DoA 5 Last Round is the right game at the right time, considering how much fans of the genre have been waiting for a good beat-em up on their new console. The reasonably low price and the great amount of content definitely help.

    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round brings DoA5's smooth gameplay to new generation consoles, with the addition of 1080p resolution and a stable 60fps frame rate.

    The best Dead or Alive 5 edition, especially on the Next Gen of game consoles and PC.

    A great fighting game that's better than ever. If you already own it, there aren't too many reasons for the upgrade, but if you don't, it's the best way to enjoy it.

    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is the same, good, fighting game we talk about few years ago, now at rock solid 60fps/1080p, with 34 characters and a huge load of stages and costumes. Will this be the final edition of the game? Probably not, but if you’re looking for a fun and spectacular fighting game, sold at budget price, this is your best choice.

    Offensive, frantic and fun. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round still is a good fighting game with some additions: two new characters, two new stages and 1080p and 60 frames per second in Next Gen hardware. The most complete version, but few new aspects compared to its predecessor.

    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is the definitive Dead or Alive 5 edition. The best DoA fighting experience with all the content seen in DoA Ultimate now in 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One with two new characters. But we expected more incentives.

    Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is a good chance for the fans to access all of the content of this entry in the franchise. However, and because of the questionable sexualization of the saga, that has long ago exceeded acceptable limits. You can make a good fighting game and get customers attention without the objectification of women.

    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.
