Dead or Alive Xtreme 2

"Am I dead and in Heaven or just Alive?!"

Introduction:
This is definitely one of the best games I have ever played. I may be a little biased because I LOVE volleyball and I love pixellated women, but this game is great. When I bought it, I was really just expecting a videogame with some fine lookin' ladies playing volleyball, but when I started playing and exploring it, I found out and discovered it was so much more.

Graphics:
The graphics in this game are completely wonderful. Obviously this is about the women mostly, and the women are about as hot and good looking as they can possibly get on a Xbox 360 videogame console. The water when you are playing is just fantastic looking (the water is the ocean because you are playing on an oceanside beach on a lovely, fantastically beautiful island called "Zach Island"). 10/10

Sound/Music:
The sound in this game is pretty good. The girls voices are very sweet and they make you smile inside (in twisted pleasure with a hint of tease). The music is very good. I heard that a lot of the songs in this game were in the previous, but this one has some new songs, and they are just awesome to listen to when you play (especially if you had not played the former in depth). The music makes it seem like you are actually there watching and controlling some girls playing beach volleyball. I actually burned the music onto a CD so I could listen to it in the car and at work. 10/10

Gameplay: Volleyball
The gameplay in this is so cool. The volleyball itself is not very hard to get the hang of. When you do, you just can't put the game down. Me and my friends played this all night for countless nights on the weekends when we don't have school, and it is seriously just so fun. One of the bad parts is I wish you could play in rain and have it affect the gameplay, as well as be able to control the score to win. 9/10

Gameplay: Side Games
There is also another aspect to this game other than volleyball. There are multiple more games such as jumping games, tug o' war, jetskiing, flag races, casino, and butt bumping. Tug o' war and butt bumping seem easy, but with experience and practice, it takes a lot of skill to win. The casino one is my favorite, because if I say so myself, I'm a gamblin' man. Jet-skiing is also super fun, especially online. The controls are very nifty on these babies, and racing against someone else online with your girl on the jetski, her hair blowing in the wind, nothing beats that. The others are alright, tug o' war being alright as well. 9/10

Extras:
If you thought the extra side games were it, you are wrong! There is a great swimsuit selection in this game. You can customize your girl and make her wear whatever your heart and "mind" desire. Furthermore, there is a "bounce" customization, which made me and my friends more than happy when we played the game. It just seems more realistic when you have it 3/4ths of the way, or even all the way up! 10/10

Replayability:
This game is wonderful to play over and over again. Unlike other games where you can only play through once and then get bored when you play it again, you can continually play this game and have fun with your friends or anyone. The side games do get tedious after a while minus the jetskiing game. 9/10

Overall:
Overall, I don't know what more I could ask for. I got MUCH more than I ever anticipated of getting when I bought it. A definite must buy.
57/60=.95=A near perfect 10. This game is well worth a 10 if you are looking for a fun game you can play with by yourself or with others (as long as it's not your mom!)
