Alternatively, you could just pony up £31.99 (or less at your local game store) and get all characters and game modes bundled in. Put it all together, and you could spend hundreds on Last Round. It doesn’t end there, however, as you can also buy extra costumes for these characters for a few extra pounds. On top of this, you can buy the story mode separately for £11.99 and additional characters at £3.19 a pop. You can download a free version, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round – Core Fighters, which comes with only the basic versus, arcade, training and online game modes, plus four fan-favourite characters to enjoy them with. On the second count, it all depends on how you buy it. What used to look a bit dodgy is now getting desperately cringe-worthy. Sure, there’s a playful, tongue-in-cheek element to it, but we’ve sometimes found Last Round just, well, embarrassing. On the first count, there’s not much defence beyond a feeble ‘well, it’s all a bit of fun, isn’t it?’ With its lingering shots of heaving cleavage, its hyper-sexualised characters and a range of unlockable, alternate costumes that include bunny girl outfits, bikinis, T-shirt/knickers combos and racy evening-wear, it’s safe to say that Dead or Alive 5: Last Round doesn’t exactly do much to boost the cause of feminism. Two things can’t help but dominate the conversation about Dead or Alive 5: Last Round: the series’ slack-jawed, bulging-eyed obsession with the wobblier parts of the female anatomy, and the way it’s being sold this time around.
