    The volleyball aspect, which is the reason I loved the first game has been retooled to be unplayable. In the first game, the characters would position themselves under the ball since there is very little indication of where the ball actually is in respect to where your character is. This makes each game feel like a real volleyball game where the strategy is about setting up a good kill.The volleyball aspect, which is the reason I loved the first game has been retooled to be unplayable. In the first game, the characters would position themselves under the ball since there is very little indication of where the ball actually is in respect to where your character is. This makes each game feel like a real volleyball game where the strategy is about setting up a good kill. Now, the characters don't automatically position themselves near the ball which leads to nothing but frustration. The extra features such as jet skiing do nothing to cover up the fact that the MAIN selling point of the gameplay, the volleyball, has been ruined. This not only leaves the game with no replay value, it also leaves it with no PLAY value. Virgins will love this game because of the girls in swimsuits. Gamers will hate this game because of the weak attempt to use sex appeal in order to sell this hollow drek as a worthy purchase. Fans of the first DOA Xtreme will absolutely despise this game's very existence due to the original fun factor being stripped away. The only good thing this game has going for it? It killed DOA Xtreme as a franchise.… Expand

    More of a minor update than a sequel! I must not be Japanese enough but I found just about all the games frustrating and far too "Instafail" for even my admittedly fast reflexes. Far from being aroused by these virtual women I experienced shrinkage I was so mad that my girl apparently cant sense im pressing my controller buttons! And if Team Ninja think im going to waste precious time More of a minor update than a sequel!

Far from being aroused by these virtual women I experienced shrinkage I was so mad that my girl apparently cant sense im pressing my controller buttons! And if Team Ninja think im going to waste precious time buying a million dollar scandalous brazillian sling only to have my girl model it for ten seconds while I fumble with a weird camera system...theyre nuts! Whats with all the daggy 1960's and 1970's swimwear anyway? It may excite some but all I see is the kind of thing my mother wore in old photos of the period!… Expand

    All i have to say is, why did i waste $5 on this game? Jesus. it's so boring. At least the girls are hot, but aside from that, there's just not enough content to warrant a purchase for even $5. Avoid.

    Except for the women and the graphics, this game has nothing to offer.

    Bien que les décors soient toujours assez jolis, la modélisation de la plastique de ces poupées Barbie n'a fait aucun progrès en passant de la Xbox à la Xbox 360 : voilà qui est très décevant. Les nouvelles activités sont mal faites et le volley n'a subi aucune amélioration alors qu'il y avait déjà à y redire dans le précédent opus. Et le jeu refuse de s'installer sur mon disque dur !

    Dead or Alive is the ultimate perve simulator, so I guess it achieves what it sets out to do. Game for the time has gorgeous graphics, and very 'detailed' character models. But thats about all it has. The minigames are so simple and boring, the beach volleyball is very basic and the water skiing is ridiculously hard to control. The achievements are bloody hard and time consuming andDead or Alive is the ultimate perve simulator, so I guess it achieves what it sets out to do.

    First off, I'm a girl. A straight girl. This game doesn't have much more to it than practical pornography. It is insulting to women. Any girl that sees this game would probably get pretty pissed off. It doesn't even have a purpose. What, does everyone in the world find it enjoyable to see unrealistic girls with huge boobs walk around an island and jiggle at them? I got this First off, I'm a girl. A straight girl.

I got this game hoping for some fun mini games, but all I got was a bunch of wannabe sluts. Even my boyfriend gets annoyed at their jiggling boobs. But I just don't see a point in the game.… Expand

    One of two games I've ever returned. At a time when I was into achievements even, I still could not play this horrible, horrible game. Thought at least the volleyball or wave racing would be fun. Think again and think hard before purchasing or renting ... or accepting it as a gift.

    A nice game to look at in areas, but not overly fun to play. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is worth a rent to see what Team Ninja can do in the high-def age, but I won't be adding this one to my collection.

    Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2 is what happens when you tinker too much with a perfect formula -- and not in the name of improvement. This is the Dead or Alive that, quite frankly, critics of Team Ninja have been hoping for -- a soulless, poorly executed title slathered in truly shameless fan service that not even those who would use it for dirty deeds could force themselves to sit through. It's as ridiculous as the individual breast physics that it entails.

    Although the visuals are nice and there isn't a better game out there for ogling digital women, the new mini-games are a poor excuse for added gameplay and too much of the first game was recycled.
