Dead or Alive Ultimate is a multiplayer fighting game for the Xbox. It is a collection of the games Dead or Alive and Dead or Alive 2 from the developer Tecmo.
The game requires Xbox Live in order to play online, and includes twelve different game modes, fifteen different characters from the Dead or Alive series, as well as bonus content for Dead or Alive 3. With the December 14, 2006 backwards compatibility update for the Xbox 360, the Xbox release of Dead or Alive Ultimate can now be played on the Xbox 360. Dead or Alive Ultimate is a compilation game that includes a remade version of Dead or Alive 2, with re-developed graphics and new stages for the Xbox gaming system. It also includes the original Sega Saturn version of the first Dead or Alive, with smoothed graphics, but lacks the additional content received in the later-released North America PlayStation version (No Bass or Ayane characters or extra costumes). Both editions include online play.
