Gah, Tecmo's gone to the dark side.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Never tried DOA.

That drunken boxing guy looks fierce.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Well yah, making it exclusive to Xbox is ridiculous. The reason DoA2 sold well was because of the shameless multiplatforming (with new versions each time).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>At the moment there are only essentially two choices, PS2 or XBox (Gamecube just got delayed to November or something, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed some more). If you go on PS2 it means you've to compete with some pretty heavy weight fighters, like the Capcom line of stuff, Tekken Tag, and the Bouncer. It's pretty clear that the software competition on PS2 will be ferocious, seeing that they're going to show like 500 PS2 games or something in the next gaming convention. Rather being a newcomer against what will inevitably be a platform heavily entrenched in fighting games, they decide to be the first in a relatively new platform. That way their game will get on the shelves before the ports do, and assuming XBox doesn't totally flop, it may very well be more profitable than fighting in the PS2 market.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Exclusive for now, anyway.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Aside from having the best graphics in a fighting game (equal to SC), it has great gameplay.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Anyone ever notice how completely out of proportion the DoA characters are? ...not that there's anything wrong with that, of course : )</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>It's only the women, thank you. :)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>LOL! Yup, no anatomically-correct Ken doll type stuff.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>No, they're just cut. Except Bass, he's chunky.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Heavy Metal: FAKK is even worse.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Why bring up such a gay game in this otherwise fine thread?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Gay? I'm sorry, but "gay" is just exactly the wrong word to describe the bouncy and juggling tits in that game. It's a bit extreme, I think.</div>
