Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2

A good game...depending on what you expect

Strengths: Beautiful graphics, more of what you already like (if you liked the first DOAX game)

Weakness: Takes a lot of patience, can't backup saved game

First of all, if you didn't like the first DOAX game on the Xbox, you should not even be considering this game, because you'll probably dislike this one as well. Fans who liked the first game should enjoy this one too, if not more so, because there are a lot more of what you already like: DOA girls in swimsuits playing beach volleyball and relaxing on Zach Island. This time around, you can to do...

Nothing new.

Strengths: Graphic. DOA Characters.

Weakness: 30 frames. Almost impossible to clear. Monotonous.

The previous version for the old XBOX was full of new features, but its sequel came out with all those features, which are not novel any more. Several mini games are added, and bunch of swimsuits as well, but there's only one new character. Graphic quality is much better thanks to the power of XBOX 360. Maybe good for people who are big fans of DOA and like the DOA girls, but the game itself is...

Feels like a giant step backwards from the original...

Strengths: Graphics, casino, and Online jet ski play

Weakness: Reused animations from original DOAX, Simplified the already simple volleyball, no 4-player volleyball matches, tedious, just an overall broken game.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2 is a volleyball/jet ski/collection type game with a splash of mini-games on the side and its for XBOX 360. The game reuses a lot of the assets from the original DOAX that was on XBOX. It just feels like the developers were lazy when they made this game. Reused animations, reused some outfits, reused menu setup, etc. Its basically DOAX High Definition version with an added...

Not bad but not good either

Strengths: Graphics and sound

Weakness: 30fps, camera angle on the volleyball mini game is hard to see

Team Ninja releases very few games from time to time. Whenever they do (Dead or Alive Series and Ninja Gaiden series), their games are always highly rated. However, this DOA side story type game isn't on the same level. It still has the Team Ninja trademark for graphics and sound, but the gameplay just isn't on par with their other titles. It's not bad and requires a lot of patience, but it's...

An okay game for adults

Strengths: Pretty graphics.

Weakness: Gameplay Longevity

If you want to pretty game with lots of eye candy then this is the game for you. Gameplay wise, this game is fairly shallow. You can enjoy some of the mini-games, but it gets tedious and repetitive after a while.

Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2

Strengths: Updated graphics are nice

Weakness: Minor update to Xbox Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, poor minigames

Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2 is a next-generation update to the Xbox dating/volleyball sim Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Like the first game you need to generate income to buy all the items in the game. Unfortunately this will take you a ton of time, which needs to be spent in an uninspired collection of minigames that are not well implemented. While the graphics are pretty you will soon grow...

DoA Xtreme 2

Strengths: graphics ('nuff said)

Weakness: gameplay, forced interaction w/partner

This is just a silly title with not much to do than watching your gal wiggle and pursue/obtain hard to find items. The games/competition are interesting the first couple times, but gets overly easy or simplistic. I would have been happier with just a straight volleyball or multi-sport title. I could do without the partner interactions (Sims-like) which seem to be required if you want to keep your...

XTREME!!!!!!!!!!

Strengths: Nice graphics. Varied gameplay.

Weakness: Game title.

Fun game with really nice graphics and equally good sound. Here are some of the game types included: Volleyball, Marine Race, Butt Battle, Tug-of-War, Pool Hopping, Beach Flags, Water Slide, and Casino. I know this didn't get the warmest reception in reviews on websites and in magazines, but it's fun playing DOAX2, especially when having friends over.

DOA

Strengths: amazing graphics

Weakness: impossible to complete achievement

DOAX2 is the sequel to the original on xbox. The game play is basically the same, you play volleyball but there are tons of things to do. The graphics looks amazing, some of the best on Xbox 360. My only complain is that the achievements are impossible to complete. You could play for days and still not complete it.

DoA Extreme stays the course

Strengths: Beautiful Anime girls, graphics

Weakness: Repeatative gameplay

Well, Team Ninja has done it again. Gameplay is repetitive, but the jiggles will keep you coming back for more again and again. Unfortunately, the games are just not that fun. The graphics are beautiful in spots, but I would expect more from a next generation title. If you like the DoA series, I probably won't be disappointed. Still, the game is not worth full price, wait till the price drops and...
