    I wish I could delete my other review. I take back everything I said about this cash cow of a game. I have never felt so insulted in my life as a fan of something. The DLC plan TN just revealed is without a doubt the worst I have ever seen. It makes Star Wars: Battlefront's DLC look like a bargain. I am selling my copy of DOAX3 on eBay and will do my best to persuade anyone who is still onI wish I could delete my other review. I take back everything I said about this cash cow of a game.

    Why is nearly everything recycled from another game? Zack's shop, animations, places to go -- all recycled from Xtreme 2. Of course the game doesn't have as many bikinis as X2, and no Jet-Ski which is replaced by a stupid rock climbing game that only a moron would fail at. The casino is the same boring lifeless character portraits. Nothing new to make this overpriced AND JAPANESE ONLY gameWhy is nearly everything recycled from another game?

It's a grab at your cash and a LAZY effort for Team NINJA. Expand

    Pros:
    - Relatively good-looking game

    - Limited character selection
    - Animations look rigid and unappealing
    - DLC out the ass
    - Gets boring quickly
    - Repetitive soundtrack
    - Tons of cut content from the previous games
    - Opaque game design - there is a lot that is not properly explained

    True Score: 4.2

    Who cares about this softcore porn madness?! Give it up! This useless XXXtreme-headache-casino-Zack-does-nothing series died off in the mid-naughties. Give us DOA6 and quit releasing 8-50 costumes a week in DOALR5 for $49.99-$299.99. Get with the program, Tecmo. .

    It is just a rubbish. Nothing new but many bad designs of the game. Not worth the money at all. The DLC is awful ly priced. AVOID THIS GAME.AVOID THIS GAME.AVOID THIS GAME.

    The game is absolutely soulless! Team Ninja Dog is NOTHING without Tomonobu Itagaki. They killed Ninja Gaiden, they killed Dead or Alive and Dead or Alive Xtreme... You'd better play DoAX & DoAX2, believe me.

    This game is just plain boring. If you want to look at **** and ass, there's better places to do it. As in porn. Or real life. I'm not judging you if that's what you want to do, but seriously, this game is not worth the price. It's really only got a few things to do. Rating this game a ten is ridiculous. Yes, it has boobs. But that's all it has. It's certainly not fun. I'm also sellingThis game is just plain boring. If you want to look at **** and ass, there's better places to do it. As in porn. Or real life.

    This game wasn't worth the outrage back in 2015. My critique of the game is not because of the objectification of women. But how the game was programmed to reward you very little, making you grind endlessly. You'd want to get the swimsuit that the girls will wear for your pleasure, but they're expensive in-game and gaining money as Owner Mode require doing missions that doesn't reward youThis game wasn't worth the outrage back in 2015.

    Which brings me to the Casino section where you can gain tons of money, if you're lucky. That's where the RNG becomes **** You can just save scum until you get big money. But if the game's RNG felt like being an ass, you will be save scumming for almost an hour. It gets tiring. I would give the game a lower score but THANK GOD for save scumming.

    If you want to get the game just for the fun of watching girls in bikinis and doing the activities, go ahead. There's nothing wrong. But it gets bland and tiresome doing the same activity.

    This game is good to get if you are willing to grind for sexy bikinis for the girls to wear. But, it's not worth the $60 price. It's just a glorified minigame. The casino minigame, which is the ONLY way to get a lot of money are rigged as hell. If you want to get this game, get it when it's like 50%-90% discount. NOT WORTH THE FULL PRICE.

    This game knows what it wants to do, and it executes it flawlessly. The loss of characters and some of the more enjoyable mini-games is certainly a bummer, but let’s be honest, that is never why anyone played this game.

    In its current state, Dead or Alive: Xtreme 3 is a nice game to relax and unwind with, but beyond that it’s a very disappointing and lazy entry into the Xtreme series.

    If you're coming here for the gameplay, forget Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 as nothing has evolved on that topic for the last decade. If you want to peep at sexy girls, you're in the right place as everything was made with this goal in mind. A game to store on the ecchi shelf.
