Description
The arcade conversion adds an improved tag feature, with new stadiums to fight in, new character moves to play with, and plenty of windows, walls and ledges to fall over and crash through. Unlike Tekken Tag Tournament, however, DOA2 also includes a single player mode, a dodge button (allowing you to move left and right away from attacks), and multi-level arenas.
Alternate Titles
- "生或死2" -- Chinese title (simplified)
- "DOA 2: Hardcore" -- US PS2 title
- "Dead or Alive 2" -- UK/Japanese PS2 title

Trivia
There are 6 versions of Dead or Alive 2 so far: First came the original Dreamcast port which was pretty much a carbon-copy port of the original arcade release, then the PS2 port which added a few extras but had some graphical issues. An expanded Dreamcast port then followed which included all of the extras from the PS2 version which was then followed with the "Hardcore" release that fixed most of the graphic glitches and added tons of extra material. Finally, even more stuff (such as conceptual galleries and story events) was added for the Japanese "Hardcore" release.
The sixth and final version is the X-box remake DOA:Ultimate, which uses Xtreme Beach Volleyball's engine and adds even more stuff as well as online play.
