Seeing as how Dead or Alive Dimensions can't be purchased on the 3DS Eshop digitally, getting the game at this price was a great value. If you are in any way interested in getting into the Dead or Alive series, this game is the perfect place to start. The controls and gameplay concepts are explained exceptionally well (especially considering the overall high difficulty curve of the series) and the game is packed with enough modes and content to keep you busy for days if not weeks on end. Graphically the game looks and runs just as good if not better than Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition and Tekken 3D and runs at a nice framerate. Like Dead or Alive 5 there are both English and Japanese voiceovers and subtitles included, along with a full-fleged "Chronicles" mode that covers the full story of the first 4 games in a serviceable (if a bit confusing at times) manner. When the game first came out the developers also released downloadable DLC costumes and exclusive CPU battles for free through Spotpass during a year or so following its release, however unless you have a modded 3DS or were lucky enough to get it when it first came out, the DLC is no longer availible to get unfortunately. That being said, you are still getting more than your money's worth with Dead or Alive Dimensions and I can't reccomend the game enough. If you are a fan of the series or fighting games in general, this is a must buy for any 3DS owner.Read full review

Dead or Alive Dimensions is impressive. Really impressive. The graphics are the best graphics I have seen on the system, most likely on par with upcoming Snake Eater 3D. Not to mention the incredible amount of content in the game. The 3D effect is subtle, and during cutscenes the characters almost seem like paper layered over each other. That aside, the 3D effect becomes more relevant during gameplay in the sense you can tell how far apart you and your opponent are. This kind of 3D is not present in Super Street Fighter IV 3D, since you can only move back and forth in that game. In Dead or Alive dimensions, you can move 360 degrees, making the game much deeper and more strategic. A 3DS wouldn't be great if it didn't utilize the features of the system. Luckily, DOA:D uses StreetPass to find other opponents to battle in "Throwdown" mode. SpotPass can also be used to collect new goodies for your characters plus new figurines. You can even use play coins to unlock features! tl;dr A fantastic game, more than worth your money.

Dead or Alive: Dimensions (DoA:D) is a fast, slick fighter for the Nintendo 3DS. It has tons of unlockable content and very fun gameplay. The main problem I had with the game was with the online multiplayer, which lags pretty often (at least in my experiences with it so far). I bought this game because I really like solid fighters like Street Fighter, Tekken, Marvel vs. Capcom, etc. and have been looking to round out my 3DS collection. The character models and backgrounds are beautiful, true to DoA's usual presentation. Many of the levels have multiple floors, which is really fun. The level of detail is on par with any console fighter. Several spiffy costumes are available for each character as unlockable content. Other unlockables include new fighters, levels, and figurines of the characters in different poses that you can set up and take pictures of within the game. The 3D really pops and is really great to look at, but slows down the fighting just a little bit (hardly noticeable to me). As for the gameplay, controls are solid and moves are much easier to pull off than in Super Street Fighter IV, also for 3DS. They are also a lot faster and smoother. This allows the player to really hone his skills in chaining together brilliant combos. The fighters are very well-balanced, for the most part... though there is one character in particular that really annoys me with his cheap long-distance attacks. From what I understand, DoA:D is a sort of amalgamation of some previous DoA games... I'm only slightly familiar with the DoA franchise so I can't really compare it with previous titles. I'd say that one unfortunate result of this approach is that the main "storyline" makes almost no sense. Then again, when has a fighting game's storyline ever made sense? You're really there just to fight everyone in sight! However, I still wish that more time was taken to smooth out the story and make it more approachable and memorable. Street Fighter has a much better storyline, in my opinion. The online multiplayer is fun, though limited... and about 1 in every 10 fights is really choppy from lag. I don't know if this is the fault of the game itself, the Internet connection, or what, but I had a much easier and smoother online experience with Street Fighter. I wouldn't let this keep you from purchasing the game, though; I still really enjoy sparring with people online. Bottom line: If you like fighting games, pick this one up. Great replay value, solid controls and balance, beautiful graphics, and fun online multiplayer. I took a star off because of the online lag and the nearly incomprehensible plot, but as a whole the game is really enjoyable.Read full review
This is the last genuine DOA game that does not kill you with DLC, sold and repackaged 3 times or more and had the soul ripped out of it like the mess that is DOA 5. The last good DOA game before this was 4, I would call this game 4.5 it is DOA 4 lite. The game has wonderful graphics un-lockable costumes and great interactive backgrounds. There is a lot to do here and the difficulty ramps up pretty steeply very fast. The main complaints I have for this game are the main story line and the cut scenes being still shot in 3D and not very compeling. The once free DLC is no longer available even for paid DLC since 2011. The only other real complaint is the lack of a variety of costumes most characters only have 3 - 5, and replayability, once you unlock all the characters and costumes the only thing to unlock are extras and 3D models. I can overlook these setbacks for having a 3D DOA game that lives up to it's lineage unlike the hugely disappointing DLC mess that is DOA 5.Read full review

Dead or Alive Dimensions is a fantastic entry to the Nintendo 3DS library. It would seem that fighting games are REALLY doing well on the system and why not,it's portable beat downs in stereoscopic 3D! The games isn't absolutely perfect however the only two issues I have with this game are when your turn thee 3D on the frame rate drops to 30fps instead of a smooth 60fps, but it really doesn't hinder gameplay at all. It looks AMAZING it's just not smooth, but you can keep it turned off and have 60fps for a smoother experience. The other quip I have with this game is the online multiplayer, sure once you find someone to play with the connection is almost lag free half the time depending on how good your MBPS is. The REAL issue is that trying to find someone a d connecting with someone is bland. The menu doesn't have any special features, like certain other fighting games (SSF4, SSBB) but it might be understandable because this is a handheld system and there are limits to what it can do. Other than that the game is flawless.Read full review
