While the package may not be quite as complete as that of Tekken 3, the things the game does well it does extremely well.

Best fighting game on the PS1 by far! So much fun to be had with this game, it's very creative!

Great graphics and decent sound effects really make this game fun. With all those different modes, reasonable number of characters, 84 different costumes, and hundreds of moves, I don’t know how this game could get boring.

The gratuitous sexism aside, Dead or Alive is a polished product that pushes Tecmo to the front of the fighting game, hot on the heels of Namco for the title.

What really drives it home, however, is the unsurpassed realism and detail.

Good looking and fun to play, Dead or Alive maes an impressive debut. [Oct 2004, p.122]

Combining fantastic graphics and above-average gameplay, Dead or Alive is a fun and challenging fighting game well worth picking up.

The original Dead or Alive was good for its time, but I don't think it has aged well even when compared to Tekken or Virtua Fighter.
