Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I will keep this short, cause you don't need to be inundated with information about a horrible, horrible game.

I'll admit, I got it to see how much I could be turned on by bump-mapping, whatever the .... that is. My friends said, "Dude, get that one! I want to see hot chicks!"

And I would be proud to write a positive review, if the game even came close to what it was purporting to offer.

The gameplay is rudamentary. While I didn't have a problem adjusting to the controls, I've seen more finness in an old-school NES game. The fluidity of the gameplay is about as seductive as jagged rock shoved up your shoot, if that's your thing. Combined with the wholly unchanged graphical prowess of it's predecessor, I might as well have bought the original, used, at a fraction of the cost.

In a nutshell, I couldn't send it back fast enough. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather spend that $50 striking out on a horrible date than admit to owning this game. It's not a game, it's a joke. It's the faded, 1970s playboy magazine that your 12-year-old brother relies on to discover his manhood. It's far benieth anyone who has developed even an iota of discernable taste.

Steer clear of this one. Download the trailer, cause like any other C- movie, it'll show you the best of it's best, but the rest is simply total (explative deleted).

I was very much looking forward to this game since DOAXBV for the Xbox. After the slightly embarrassing intro, I started the game up and was expecting much more.

The girls look the same as on Xbox except with more shadows. Some girls, like Lei-fang looked a bit, off. The soundtrack is almost identical the the first one as well. While the title song is expected to remain, most of the other songs including the ones that I really hated were back and more repetitive than ever.

I was expecting major advances in presentation, but there was none. Still you choose from a list of 2D locations that turn to 3D when you select them. If you could have walked from location to location, it would have been a drastic plus. Purchasing items and suits is the same, except now there is a long delay in loading the item lists so you are scrolling through a bunch of empty pictures until it catches up 5-10 seconds later.

I was seriously expecting drastic improvements to the casino. Still the characters are little face pictures. Even in Roulette, again you can look around, but see no one. The slots are still very fake feeling in regards to odds. If you can lose money at a slot you will, but never win. No point in playing them for money.

There is still no sort of story for each character aside from how they were tricked into coming. Only one ending, over and over again.

The extra activities are not ones where you can make a strategy. It typically comes down to luck. The hopping game is updated but irritatingly hard and against a computer who is a pro. Volleyball is the same except the game now depends on how the partners like each other. Camera seems to be worse too.

The best thing to come from this version is the English voices so you get a better feel of if a gift works or not. They don't like the same gifts as before so good luck.

To sum it up, it's the original with english voices and a few additions worth of adding 'Black' to the end like Ninja Gaiden, but not a true sequel.
