Reception
PlayStation Magazine gave it a score of 8/10, stating, "lots of polish and gameplay. Still secondary to Tekken 3, though."
In 2011, Complex ranked it as the seventh best fighting game of all time.
Dead or Alive also received some added notoriety for having the breasts of its female characters animate independently of their bodies, bouncing up and down wildly as the women jumped and moved. While seemingly a silly, disposable novelty at the time, this actually became - and still remains - a trademark of the series, though it has been more realistically implemented as technology has allowed.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
