Dead or Alive 1 Ultimate review. Classic Game Room reviews DEAD OR ALIVE 1 ULTIMATE for Xbox released in 2004. This remastered version of the 1996 Sega Saturn version has smooth visuals and bold colors that retain the old school feel of the original game. Fast, straight forward fighting reminiscent of Tekken meets Virtua Fighter 2 makes Dead or Alive 1 a joy to play, even though it looks dated by today's standards. Choose from a variety of fighters with different fighting styles that bring the mayhem and bouncy game to the big screen on your Xbox or Xbox 360 (DOA1 Ultimate is playable on Xbox 360). CGR Dead or Alive 1 Ultimate review has gameplay from the 2-disc box set of Dead or Alive which also comes with an updated version of Dead or Alive 2. Fans of good fighting games should pick this box set up at once!
