Simply stated, this is hands-down the best looking fighter on the Dreamcast. Five of the main characters are women and they are as HOT as a computer-generated character can get. Fans of the original Dead or Alive will remember the gravity-defying chests of the female characters in that game. Even so, everyone can still enjoy the richly detailed character models made-up of so many polygons you can t even see them let alone count them. Flowing robes, babbling brooks, misting waterfalls, powdered snow, and falling leaves are all modeled to precision and add to the luster of each environment and battle.
Special effects are abundant with flames and explosions and brilliant pulses of light.
Drop kick your opponent into a laser beam and witness the sizzling lighting and sound effects. The game is full of cut-scenes like the one shown here. These are even more amazing when you realize that each cut-scene is being rendered on the fly. There is no FMV or pre-rendering going on here. Each scene is rendered as it is played back which is how the programmers are able to have a cut-scene end in the battle mode with you taking control over the same characters that were just acting out the scene.
