Hands-On: Dead or Alive 3

Gamepro spends some time with the most anticipated game for the Xbox, Dead or Alive 3.

Tecmo and Micorsoft stopped by the Gamepro offices recently to give us some hands on time with Dead or Alive 3. It?s one thing to be impressed by the previous video footage shown, but to finally get your hands on the controller and take charge for yourself is quite another thing. The first thing that needs mentioning is that every cool graphical trick shown in video form is actually in the game. You can fight across the vast levels, some of which have various paths to go from here to there or find new ones by breaking through things.

The early build already has many of the impressive features the developer, Team Ninja could only describe in words to us before like all the meticulously detailed textures on the fighters. Fights in the more massive areas like the Forest stage or Beach level feel almost epic thanks to enormous environments and really adds an extra layer of immersion. The gameplay was also getting to a very polished level even with the additional animation added to smooth out movements. Dead or Alive 3 looks to be living up to expectations so far.
