A bit much...

I have played both this game and the previous Volleyball title and I have to say that this one is better, at least from a one player point of view. Not having an exhibition mode that two people can play is a downer and subtracts from the overall rating.

The good news is that are quite a bit of additional stuff to do besides play volleyball (which is why the word 'volleyball' never shows up in the title.) There are a variety of mini games. Such as tug of war and the infamous 'butt battle' neither of which I am any good at. The volleyball play is pretty hard. Sometimes you can lose two or three games in a row right from the get go and your partner will dump you. That's a bummer.

Recruiting new lady friends is hard because most of the girls are picky about what gifts they will accept. (On a side note this game is like a really bad relationship game. Give your girl flowers so she'll go out with you...I mean play volleyball with you. What do you want Christie? What do you want?!) Well, anyway. The graphics are nice of course if a bit much at times. Whoever designed the physics of the girls really leaned on the whammy bar when making the breasts bounce. I mean, it looks a little silly at times. The slightest move sends the things zigging and zagging, sometimes in opposite directions like a pair of water balloons. Gravity defying cleavage aside the game looks very realistic.

If you can tolerate getting dumped by girls and then not being able to woo any new ones then you can still have a decent time, unless you suck at riding in a jet ski and bumping other girls with your butt. That makes this a pretty good game. But I might rent it first and see how much you like it.

Not what we expected.

I purchased this game today with my husband. The hype around it was amazing! We were so excited, because neither of us had played a game with beach volleyball or anything like that.

The music? Horrible. It's such a "chick" game, it's ridiculous. You don't get to play volleyball with any of the other girls unless you buy gifts for them first. The voices are really annoying, and it was just an incredibly stupid premise.

The only semi-entertaining parts were the jet-skiing and the pool hopping. They involved no skill at all, though. The volleyball (when I finally got to play) was fun, but my partner dumped me after we lost the first game. I didn't even get to practice!

Overall, it was stupid and a huge waste of time and money. Thank god that EB games is allowing us to get all of our $60 back! He just left to go return it and get something that will actually entertain us.

The graphics are really good, and I love DOA in general, but I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. Actually, my husband would be embarrassed to have friends over and play this. He compared it to something like "Barbie's beach house." Totally, 100% not worth it.

A time killer

Well, this game might not be as serious as DOA4. But the music is quite relax and the girls are pretty. It is a perfect time killer!

One of the worst offerings on the 360.

As ashamed as I am to say, I played DOA X Volleyball on the original Xbox. And in a strange way, it was fulfilling, for about 5 hours. DOA X2 gets old after 5 minutes.

DOA X2 feels like a direct port of the older game. Everything being exactly the same, no real new additions and no extractions.

To simply summarize shortly, this game is barebones with cheap T&A, and really no redeeming value at all.

But there IS good news. If you somehow enjoy collecting swimsuits while playing awkward volleyball, this could be the game for you. If you're sane, it is not.

Fun game. Better than the last one.

Love this game. If you liked the previous game than you'll love this one. There are more things to do, etc... The visuals on a 1080p TV are jaw dropping.

yes, i know what your thinking...this game must be the most clever and inspired video game since BMX XXX!

lol, if you look at it that way, it IS...but it's also quite a bit harder.
the patch via x-box live makes things quite a bit easier, however, it also makes getting all the suits for everyone MUCH harder.

overall, a beautiful game, but not much else.

A very strange but enjoyable game...

This game is weird... even though the description on the box may have you thinking that this is a game about volleyball and jet ski racing, this game appears to be some kind of distorted perspective on female social hierarchies by the (obviously male) developers. Either that, or a joke.

However, there is something really compelling about it, and I'm not just talking about the hot women or the mind-boggling "bounce" physics (mind-boggling in a bad way ie it is distracting to the point it is like hypnosis gone wrong); there is a really addictive and compelling aspect to this game that I can't quite put my finger on.

Despite its flaws and the fact its essentially soft-core pornography this game is addictive. There is always something to do, always swim suits to buy, always friends to make. And its a good game just to chuck on when you're bored and don't want to think to hard about anything. The only thing is that the achievements take an insanely long time to get.

If you're playing this game I would recommend setting the voices to Japanese and playing along with music on your HDD. If you set the voices to English, have some balsa wood nearby or something because you are going to want to smash someone over the face with how intensely annoying it is. Also the available soundtrack to this game is like throwing yourself into a tree-shredder.

I'd recommend this game to anyone who wanted something more from the Dead or Alive series. And by "more" I really mean "less" as in less clothing.

I played the first game and I thought it was harder than that but not really. The girls look great. The water ski race is fun. The outfits are cool. Just takes patience to get enough money to buy things. You get to take pictures of them. a plus but controlling the camera is hard and you have to buy film. Mindless game I play on the treadmill.

not bad!

i like everything about this game except the camera controls, and the lame loading screens. Everything else about this game is beautiful and fun.
