I don’t often blog about fan projects, but DOA2 Final Edition is definitely worthy of bringing to your attention. Produced by Green Ranger from the Dreamcast-Talk forums, the game adds a large number of fun additions to Temco’s vivacious brawler and manages to completely refresh a now, 15 year old game.
Rejigged title screen
Included are costume changes including outfits from Tomb Raider, Spiderman and a cool looking Dreamcast T-shirt for Jan Lee, new, and let’s face it, much needed character dialogue, new stage sequential orders for Story Mode, and even remixed Dead Or Alive music. Best of all the game can be downloaded non-gratis and burnt via the usual methods onto a CD-R (see the link below). If you're still not convinced then just check out these high resolution images.
DOA is famous for its, *ahem, grapple-based gameplay
