Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball

As a present, will put a confused look on anyone's face. Although, it turns out my friend actually liked playing it. Goofball.

The graphics are great etc. So are the girls. What I want 2 know is how do you get 2 the link 2 enter a cheat code. I did not find it in the book or on the game disk it's self. Yet Zack talks about a secret shop. So I know there must be a link 2 the cheat code screen. If anyone knows it please share it. Thanks

This game, if you really want 2 call it that, is really quite bad. When I think of a good volleyball game I think of "Kings Of The Beach" 4 NES. It's really quite sad that a game from 20 years ago on a 8 bit system blows away this 128 bit pile. The game play is so inconsistent you'll be lucky if you can even serve the ball over the net let alone spike the ball without it hitting the net. If you have 2 dive 4 the ball chances are that you'll still be getting up when it's hit back 2 you, & trying 2 get your partner 2 actually show some teamwork with you is nearly impossible. The scoring is not done right & you don't really have time 2 form relationships with your partner 2 get them 2 work better with you. I actually had the most fun playing the "Hopping" mini game, not because it was so fun, but more because I could actually win while playing. I also thought the casino part sucked but I don't really like gambling anyway. On the plus side the girls are hot & seeing them in different swim suits is nice, but really I was looking 4 a "Volleyball" game, so I guess I'll just stick with my "Outlaw Volleyball" (which is a good game but still flawed), & bust out the NES 2 play "Kings Of The Beach" when I want 2 play a really good V-ball game.

Though people who think I hate good clean fun are wrong, they're not totally wrong. This is one of those controversial games that parents absolutely despise, & that's one of the reasons I love this game. The graphics are still damn good, even after its release four years ago, the volleyball gameplay is still solid, the breast physics are still very noticeable(although not as noticeable as they are in DOAX 2 4 Xbox 360), it's still a lot of fun 2 gamble(I love blackjack), & it's still fun 2 shop, recruit partners, do pool hop, relax, watch videos, get sent gifts, & it still has an excellent soundtrack 2 go along with its beach themes. If you own DOAX 2 4 the 360, & you have never played this game, you'll love it. Oh, & people who hate me 4 my review of The Bible Game; SHOVE IT! I'll continue 2 enjoy my inappropriate games that are violent & sexual.

This game was alot better than when I first bought it. Its not really considered a volleyball game with many things 2 do on the island. I have 2 admit that I really like the volleyball action, it can get intense after the first week of the two week vacation. Winning all that money at the end of a victory can be fun, going shopping when I'm not playing a match & buying presents 2 the other gals in the game. The option that I really liked the best was being able 2 play your own music tracks by copying them onto the XBOX, instead of listening 2 the same old pop music already in the game. I didn't really like the casino 2 much because I lose alot of my hard earned money. Other than that this game is a must 4 anybody even 4 females because of the girly things 2 do.

The successful Dead Or Alive fighting game franchise is known as much 4 the bouncing breasts of the female combatants as 4 its innovative & consistently fun three dimensional gameplay. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is a spinoff game that entirely drops the fighting game elements in favor of focusing on DoA's other claim 2 fame.

The game begins with you selecting one of the girls as your character. Each game is broken up into a two week vacation, & each day is divided into morning, daytime, & evening. You spend each segment of the day playing volleyball, gambling in the casino, shopping 4 swimsuits & accessories, lounging around the island, or trying 2 befriend the other girls on the island.

I'm not sure it's fair 2 classify DoA:XBV as a volleyball game. Sure, you'll spend a bit of time playing volleyball, but the gameplay is so basic that there are literally only two buttons: one 2 pass 2 your teammate & another 2 send the ball 2 the opposing side of the net. It's probably more accurate 2 label DoA:XBV as an unusual "relationship" game, with volleyball just one of several ways 2 earn money 2 spend on gifts 4 girls. Each girl has a set of items that they like; the actual object of the game is 2 figure out what those items are, where 2 buy them, & how 2 present them 2 each girl. Well-wooed girls will partner up with you 4 volleyball matches, or allow themselves 2 be convinced 2 try on slinkier & more exotic swimwear. For example: if you want Kasumi 2 try on the barely-there "Venus" swimsuit, you're going 2 have 2 shower her with gifts of strawberries, balloons, & origami.

What the game lacks in depth, volleyball gameplay, or features it makes up 4 in eye candy. The well-modeled, bouncy characters attract the most attention, but the island’s beaches & jungles are also universally gorgeous--and most of the volleyball courts can be played at different times of the day. If nothing else, Xtreme Beach Volleyball is a great display of the raw graphical power of the Xbox.

When considering whether or not you should purchase Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball it's important 2 remember what it is & what it is not. It is not a volleyball game. It is an incredibly pretty collection of small but moderately amusing mini-games played by buxom cartoon babes. Fans of Lara Croft, rejoice: the next generation is here. --Jon "Safety Monkey" Grover

Cons:

• More a collection of cut scenes than a real game
• May make you feel dirty
