Review-UNBELIEVABLE! This is what sells a system.
The 1st time I fired it up, I just could not believe what I was seeing. Ultra-smooth scrolling, incredibly detailed characters, with exquisite polygon modelling and spectacular textures (check out Lei Fang traditional chinese outfit for proof!).
Vivid colors, great animations, huge and varied fighting arenas with multiple levels and interactive backgrounds...The Nvidia graphics card in the xbox shows no sign whatsoever of distress while all of this marvelous virtual world comes to life.
Very clean and sharp graphics typical of the PC gaming world support the artful mastery of design and expressiveness of the far east transmitting an incredible "warmth" to the player.
When East and West blend together to bring you such a masterpiece, you really have no other choice but get out of your room and go to the nearest videogames store to buy DOA3. This is no advice...it's an order!!
Even the all conquering Tekken 4 falls short in terms of graphics under the might of DOA3.
Bottom line: was probably over excited when I first saw it but there is no denial that DOA3 still impresses today and is still the perfect showcase of the old xbox technical capabilities....9/10
