Join the DOA girls at the beach in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 for Xbox 360; frolic at your own pace, compete in new beach games and see all their curves up close and personal. Play as Kasumi, Christie or any of the nine female characters that appear in the Dead or Alive series. This is the way resort life was meant to be enjoyed. Admire the girls of DOA like never before… The gorgeous women of the award winning DOA franchise come to life in a fun, beautiful, island environment complete with all new cinematics. What would a tropical vacation be without some beach blanket games? Play games from the original DOAXBV including Beach Volleyball and the fan-favorite Hopping Game or try out the all-new additions, the innovative Hip Wrestling or experience an adrenaline rush in the personal watercraft” racing mode. Do you feel lucky? Gamble the night away as the Casino feature is back with even more games to test your luck. A DOA game without a little competition? Never! Play by yourself or challenge others in versus mode or through Xbox Live.

Just like the girls of Dead or Alive, this game looks pretty but is ultimately shallow. Find out all about it in this Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 video review.


Features in DOAX2 are:
* The Girls: The gorgeous women of Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive come to life in a fun and beautiful island environment, complete with the flawless graphics of the Xbox 360™. Take pictures of the girls in the new unlockable Virtual Pictoral mode and save the best shots to your hard drive.
* The Competition: Beach volleyball is back and better than ever, but now you can also experience all-new exciting and addictive events like jetskiing, Butt Battle, Beach Flag, and everyone’s favorite, the Water Slide! Compete in single-player mode, in versus with a friend, or take your game online with Xbox LIVE®!
* The Clothes: Unlock hundreds of swimsuits and accessories along with other outfits to customize your wardrobe and keep the DOA girls looking their best.
* The Nightlife: Take some time away from the beach with the updated Casino feature. Gamble the night away and test your luck as you hang with the girls, unlock special items, and earn more money!

To quote the video review: “Xtreme 2 is an extreme example of a game that doesn’t really care about anyone’s expectations other than the series’ fans. Think of it as a way to spend some personal time with the girls from the fighting game. If that doesn’t interest you, and you don’t have a thing for well-endowed video game chicks, you’re probably out of luck. There are some improvements over the first game: English voices for the girls, the way each character’s personality comes out in her poker strategy, and more stuff to do in general. The game isn’t necessarily bad, but if you’re not bringing your own fantasies to the table you’ll probably want to spend your your vacation somewhere else.”
