the babes are so sexy!! |
| Amer from Amman, Jordan says (10/Apr/2003): |
good job tecmo! the girls and graphics is so clear.. this is a real xbox game that shows xbox's abilities...
I hope they will make part 2 and that part 2 must include much more mini-games.. this is why i rated 9 because it has only 1 mini-game.

from one to ten: game play 4 -girls 11 |
| Jason from Saginaw, Mi, U.S.A. says (9/Apr/2003): |
the game play sucked because you do the same thing over and over i thought it should be more interactive like shenmue 2 or zelda and after you win you should get a video like in doa 3. But as for graphics i would give it a 10. Not Bad teamco but needs work to keep people interested.

excellent graphics, poor gameplay |
| Dean Prince from Birmingham, England says (6/Apr/2003): |
i recently brought dead or alive extreme beach volleyball after reading many reviews promising it to be a must have game. My first impressions were excellent graphics but poor gameplay and it was a game that didn't have a long lifespan. The visual aspects of the game were everything promised and more, the detail to the characters and background is astonishing but the actual gameplay lacked. there is a hopping game for your to improve your jumping, which doesn't really help you. there are some shops in which you can buy bikinis, gifts, drinks, guns, sun-cream etc. than comes the actual game of volleyball. this i found hard to get into and win. the first few games are easy than the opposition gets harder, but buy this time you are bored of the game and want to turn it off. this is not the game that we were all promised and only one for all the guys who want to stare at the beautiful women in it. i have given this game a rating of four, this is only because of the graphics and not of the gameplay

Not Worth Your Waste of Time |
| A gamer from Pensacola, FL says (18/Mar/2003): |
I rented this game on the recommendation of a friend (who IS a guy). SOOOOOO boring! Let's see, you play an occasional game of volleyball (if you want) and continually lose to the computer, you hop (easy money, but PLEASE...something more interesting), you go to the casino, you buy gifts that maybe somebody will like (or maybe they'll just throw away), you go to bed, and you wake up... Oh how about this, you can even buy some weapons (guns without bullets??) and knives and throwing stars...but you NEVER get to use them. The point???
All this excitement left me wondering, WHY THE HECK IS THIS GAME RATED MATURE???
A child might be intereted...but this game is pointless.

This game ROCKS |
| A gamer from Clinton Twp, MI says (9/Mar/2003): |
When I saw the commercials for it I thought that it was just some stupid game to get guys to drool over it but, I was wrong. I really like the game and so does my husband. I orginally bought the game for him but, I really like the volleyball games and the casino. I got hooked !! I think that it should be more interactive though like you could actually talk to the girls and stuff instead of just giving them gifts and playing volleyball with them. My husband really likes the pool hopping game (quick and easy way to get money). The only thing is though that the game needs is a money cheat code.

From SD in Say (2/17/03 |
| Alex Baum from Rapid City says (17/Feb/2003): |
Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball is little bit Good. it's not all that great after all, I wish they could make the game even better. like, Making your own swimming suite and have five girl or guys on each side of the beach playing Volleyball. I can't say much about the game the graphic is very good. I was hoping that Dead or Alive3 guys would be in there too. but it was just all girls. I hope someday they would make Dead Or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 2. It would have this, Make your own swimming suite, have guys from Dead Or Alive in it, have more places to stay. that's all I have to say about the game.

Are you people brainwashed? |
| The Ronnerman from Atl, GA says (11/Feb/2003): |
I waited SO long for this game. The screenshots were beautiful and the girls were hot in that sorta, anime way. Plus Beach Spikers for Cube sucked and that made this look even that much more promising. I just wanted a good volleyball game that looked great and had hot chicks. Is that too much to ask?
Apparently it is.
I put this game on reserve and paid on it a little at a time until it was totally paid off, and despite the fact that the release date was pushed back so many times I didn't think it was going to come out at all, I stayed loyal for the whole six months and thought "It's been a long wait, but MAN it'll be worth it!" Boy was I wrong. I feel so cheated and burned.
There is no depth to the game at all. No real story, despite what reviewers say. Camera angles virtually ruin the gameplay, and I usually try to play games around bad camera problems and make the best of it even when EVERYONE else bitches about them, but I just couldn't over look the fact that the camera was so slow that when the ball was in my court, the camera was still looking at my opponents!! I couldn't see anything at all! How can you play a game when you can't see what's going on!! The gambling is lame and simple, you can't interact with other girls in the casino and the computer will always win. On the island the days are WAY TOO SHORT, along with the whole 2 weeks. Oh, and the girls are all tempermental bitches that throw away gifts you give them. It's totally possible to go the whole game and not get a partner. That sucks, it ruins the game. Why play a volleyball game with no volleyball? You should be able to pick a permanent partner from the beginning of the game of your choice. Other than playing occasional matches, once you have a partner, you still have to buy her stuff to passify her...that and buy new bathing suits for yourself. THAT SUCKS!!
The graphics are grade A, tho, the girls ARE cute and the volleyball IS fun when you get it down, it's just that all that other crap I could look over if the game wasn't so full of it and had more of the good stuff. It gets a 4 b/c of the good things it DOES have, but this is just not a good game and I can't recomend it to anyone that's over 14 (no offense intended). I just couldn't enjoy this game no matter how hard I tried. Sorry.

Just a little short |
| A gamer from Reno, Nevada, USA says (10/Feb/2003): |
DOA Beach is the hands down winner in the graphics category yes, Gameplay is what brings it down. Fun YES, Addictive Yes, Complex No, Versatile No. Definetly needed the design your own suit aspect to it not to mention a Casino Blackjack dealer that knew what he was doing. Overall the game is a smash I have spent nearly every hour I am not at work playing it and the wife says she can even stand to watch this one. Disappointing not really considering its just a game. You want nudity goto a internet site. ha ha Definetly worth the money though. A must have for any collection

This winter season there is no power greater than X |
| DarkThunder from Toledo says (6/Feb/2003): |
I knew this game was going to be a smash hit when I first heard about it, and after playing it from the day it came out till now all I have to say is WOW! The pixle shaded bump maping is even better than that of DOA: 3. The sound is superb, if you play the game for long enough with the voices on you just might stat to pick up some japanise. The gameplay is simple but not so simple that you willquit from bordom after a week. The music is fitting the only thing is some of the music sucks ex:Christina Agulara. I think the M rating is a bit harsh, so you see about 2 seconds of a shodow covered boob not even long enough to get excited about. Bottom line this is the greatest sports game ever made. If you find yourself trying to figureout if you should buy DOA:XBV or outlaw vollyballmy simple solution is buy both because they will both be a different experience. But if you don't want any dudes interupting the fantacys running through your head than don't buy Outlaw Vollyball.

Great gameplay, but should this really be rated mature? |
| ff20emt from Dayton, USA says (6/Feb/2003): |
Overall I would have rated this game a 10, if not for all the advertising and articles written on how this game was gonna test the limits of the rating system. One article from Tecmo said the game would be very riske but it wouldn't have penetration. They said they weren't striving for an adult or mature rating, that they would accept whatever they got. As far as I'm concerned the hype of games coming out with mature themes or nudity is just a publicity scam to make large numbers go out and buy it. Is there any reason this game shouldn't have had a teen rating. I mean come on. There isn't anything on this game that any kid can't see at the beach or on primetime tv. Chicks in bathing suits. Other than the crock to boost sales, the gameplay is great. Volleyball, gambling, and chicks. The game is fun! Next time let the game sale itself, without the sex hype.

THe Power Of Xbox!- |
| NoLuck from Las Vegas Nevada Usa says (30/Jan/2003): |
Ive been waiting for a game like this to come out. And finally it did. THis game shows the power of the xbox and will probably represent Xbox really good on games. This game is sold out everywhere here in Nevada. I can tell this game is going to be a big selling game.

a great game, fun and entertaining |
| Dru from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada says (29/Jan/2003): |
I greatly anticipated DOA BV for months on end, it was killing me, and when I finally got to play it, I wasnt let down. The game play is fun, the casino is a added bonus, the detail is AMAZING, they have damn near matched a human exactly and sometimes you find yourself pondering whether this game is fake or not. One thing I do wish you could do is have any area where you can just stand there, say in your hotel and model what your wearing, its hard to get a good clean clear view without wasting time in the game. I dont like how it is 14 days only even though you do continue with the same objects, I just think there should be MORE to it. Thought quite the anticipation, from the previews, demo videos and what not, I expected more interaction, more girl to girl flirting like in all the videos, but you cannot do that. Overall though, this is a great game, its fun and entertaining, x box has created another classic.

A game that surprised me with it's options and fun features... |
| Evan Brown from Schenectady, NY USA says (28/Jan/2003): |
I was skeptical when I first bought this game, however upone playing through it a few times, I found it very fun. It's great for any guy who doesn't have a girlfriend. Tina is just unbelievable. At first the game seems a little bit fruity, but beyond that, I think that it is interesting how you are able to buy so many different suits, accessories, and items. Plus, the casino, and the hopping game are also fun. And, as always, the custom soundtracks are also a perk.

AWSOME!!! GREAT GRAPHICS!!!! AWSOME GAME PLAY!!!! |
| N. Murry from DuQuoin, IL says (28/Jan/2003): |
With not many volleyball games out for any gaming system, this game sure has lead the way for more to come. This game does not have alot to do in it but the volleyball action is AWSOME! My girlfirend is a college volleyball player, so I got this for her for her birthday and she just loves it.
The graphics are the best I have ever seen on any gaming system ever. The detail is 100% lifelike. Shadows, wind, everthing.
The only set back is I wish you could make your own charicter and design your own swimsuit. A+++

A Video Game Tester Speaks |
| Chris from LA says (27/Jan/2003): |
Hey everyone, i would just like to say a few things to help you make a informed decision.
First off, what you see on the game is nothing more than what you would see on the beach daily. The girls wear bikinis (also known as bathing suits). What you call soft porn, is what you see or wear everytime you lay out in the sun or go to the beach. As for the supposed code for nudity, I am not aware of it. Its like the supposed Nudality for Mortal Kombat. Whether it exists or not i do not know. More than likely, it doesnt!! Mainly because ESRB board would have put in the "A" (Adults Only) rating if it did have the code!! As for the game play it is very good(which surprised me). Remember on the GTA: Vice City in order to recharge your health you must sleep with a hooker; if that doesnt disturb you, then why would this game. With all this said, GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: Quit B*tchin on which game system is better, it makes you look stupid! If you notice each system is target different age groups: Game cube focus on the younger crowd. Playstation is geared toward middle teenagers. As for Xbox is geared older teenagers to adult.
Thank you and have a nice Day :-)

its an all arround good game with only a few flaws |
| charles from portsmouth, virginia says (26/Jan/2003): |
DOAX is one of the best games out for the XBOX right now. The game play is sound and supprisingly addictive. There are only a couple of flaws that make the game from being a true block buster. The first and most important is the camera angels. The camera seems to favor the person with the ball. This means that occasoinally your player gets out of the ligh of sight, which leads to you haveing to feel your way to the ball. in additon u don't controll your comp counterpart. this leads to confusion as to whether u are gonna get the ball or she will. Also you only have 14 days to unlock content. After the end of the 14 days (SPOILER ALERT)..... the island's volcanio erupts and u are forced to pick another player and start over again. THAT SUCKS. Also the two player mode leaves a bit to be desired. Don't get me wrong the game play is outstanding but the options aren't there. You can only choose different bathings suit, no extras, and in order to get your coustom soundtracks to play u have to enter the one player mode then exit out to the two player mode. Just too time comusimg. But even with these flaws DOAX is an extremely addictive and fun game. Probably one of the best games out to date. Its not the T&A flick i thought it was gonna be (the bathing suits do get a bit tantalizing though) and i guess thats a good thing.

Interesting info on Game |
| DOA EV Junkie from Miamisburg, Oh USA says (26/Jan/2003): |
By the way on the last night before leaving If you take all the bathing suits out of you itmes and put them into the collections. When you play that person again she will have those outfits again so you won't have to buy again...She will also have same amount of money. Another thing is if you get dumped by your partner then choose the leave tommorow choice. Then come back in as same player and do again. Easy way to build up lots of money with Christie especailly winning the first game then getting dumped. She has way too many thongs to buy. This is the easy way to get them. Remember to save outfits to collection from view items. Then you will always have them when selecting Christie again or anybody

few flaws my ass |
| cev420 from San Jose CA says (26/Jan/2003): |
1st you can controll your team mate w/the right hand analog stick and buttons,as uposed too the left hand analog stick and buttont for yourself. 2nd at the end of 14 days you do not start compleatly over you still keep your money and items you just get the option to pick a different player or stay the same. If you choose to change players that person will have whatever you may have given them as a gift as your previous player. And 3rd you do get to buy more than just bathing suits ,a lot more, you can by acsesories and gifts at the acsesories shop everything from hats and shoes to nailpolish and taning lotion,yes you can even get a tan in this game. Well with the few flaw it ended up NOT having I guess that would make this a great must have game. I rate it a nine only because I'm anticipating halo 2 so very much.

An Extremely Great Game |
| Chuck Pickelsimer from Suches, Georgia, USA says (24/Jan/2003): |
I recieved Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball today. I've been putting some time into the game ever since I recieved it and I think that the graphics for this game is just amazing! Like nothing I've ever seen before. The game play is farely simple though getting started teaming up with people is more difficult. Plus there is a casino to play gambling games such as blackjack and even a pool where you can play a jumping game across it. While you do things such as this you are making money and then you can take the money and go to different shops that are on the game and buy extra attire for the characters. The sound for this game fits it well, with music from people such as Bob Marley, Christina Aguilera, Reel Big Fish, Baha Men, and others. Though what makes the sound even better is that you can listen to what ever kind of music you have on your hard drive while playing the game. That way you can suit your own taste! This game surprized me even I can't believe how much interest I've gotten for this game. I think that this game is an extremely fun game in my opinion. If you have the money to spend once you see this game I believe that this is a game worth having a copy of. I wouldn't just say that about any game eithier. Or if not at leat rent it and give it a shot! So in conclusion to what I've said I give this game a perfect rating because I personally do not see anything wrong with the game and I'm going to continue playing Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball and enjoying it!
