Dead or Alive is a beat-em-up based on Sega’s Model 2 arcade board.

Eight deadly fights test each other's martial arts mastery in gorgeous 3D arenas. Special and combination moves all depicted in detailed fluid animation make this a stern test of gamers' reflexes and strategizing. Among its innovations are special moves that restore your fighter's vitality during the battle.

Dead or Alive comes from the Arcade to the PlayStation in grandiose fashion. Sporting a revamped graphics engine that displays high-resolution visuals at a constant 60fps, Tecmo's hand-to-hand brawler features never before seen characters, costumes, and gameplay modes.

For those unfamiliar with the original version, Dead or Alive features a wealth of combinations, reversals, mid-air juggles, a unique hold system, Danger Zones, and special attacks. There are three action buttons: punch, throw, and hold; the hold system consists of an offensive and defensive hold. Using either hold maneuver, players are able to counter attack and block their opponents. Additionally, the various arenas feature Danger Zones, or explosive boundaries that do significant damage to a player's health meter.
