Dead or Alive 3 is definitely the most influential game of the DOA series, introducing 4 characters that have been a staple since - Brad Wong, Christie, Hayate & Hitomi (all of them appearing on every single DOA game going forward), along with the most polished gameplay & graphics we could expect back in 2001!
Character Selection Screen, Dead or Alive 3
Every character in DOA3 offers a cinematic ending after you beat the Story (arcade) mode, and these were truly one of the best showcases in Xbox graphics back in the day! So much so, that we would beat the game again and again just to enjoy the cutscenes (even though the Theater mode was also introduced, letting you just view any ending you have unlocked!).
Dead or Alive 3 remains an Xbox exclusive to this day, but it's also available on Xbox One / Series through Microsoft's backward compatibility program, offering a 4K upscale of the original!
All the information about the characters has been collected from the game manual and the game itself, while the character artworks have been scanned and edited from the manual.
