Why did you REALLY get this game in the first place?Jul 20, 2008
By chaoslegion First of all, I want to ask to those who are rating this game with bad scores, why in the heck did you guys buy this game in the first place? Whatever your reasons are, I bought it for one reason and one reason only; to enjoy viewing of amazing scenery, beautiful graphics, and best of all, DOA girls. I'm pretty sure many people who played this game, whether it be from renting or owning, got it on their hands for the same reason that I bought it for. I'm sure there are some exceptions such as people who had to play for reviewing, got it as a present, or got it in any way without spending any money, but that doesn't change the fact that most of us are perverts and are fascinated by any sex related topics. However, many people are saying that they got it to play a volleyball game, but I find that hard to believe. Just think about this; why do you think that Tecmo developed a game like this? Because they know that most men are perverts and would get this so called "game" even when it's actually more of a soft porn rather than an actual game.
Basically, my point is that it's really funny to see that many of you guys are saying that this game sucks when it's real purpose isn't even to be played but rather, drooled at. It's just too ironic that people rent or buy this game knowing what kind of "game" (or in my case, porn) this is, only to end up bashing about it. Ultimately, it would be better if everyone just admit that they bought it for different reasons than to play it and just enjoy this sexually welcomed and fantasized game. Lastly, I prefer paying $20 for a "game" (which can be played for hours )and porn put in one rather than an actual porn that only lasts a few hours. Besides, if your mother catches you playing this porn, you can pass it off as a game. Can you do that with an actual porn?
For those who were forced to play or got this game for free, you ratings are perfectly reasonable. But then, once again, it wouldn't hurt to keep it in the shelves and pull it out every once in a while when you are in need of sexual desires. :)

Well, it is pretty.Nov 23, 2006

Disappointed.
That pretty much sums up my feelings about this game.
I don't usually write reviews, but I felt I had to say my bit on this title.
It is a very pretty game.
I'll give it that, but little else.
DOAX2 = DOAX1 + better graphics + novelty features - in person multiplayer - some reason to play the game
Let's see... we have the new eye candy mini games.
Neato if you love button mashing madness.
We have the new Jet Ski race.
Big yay there.
It's an entertaining diversion, but nothing overly special.
Got old for me quick.
The new casino games are ok.
I spent more time playing in the casino than anything else.
We have ONLINE multiplayer now!
Woo Hoo!
Now you don't have to worry about making real friends and inviting them over!
You can just play with whatever random person is out there on the net.
We have online multiplayer at the expense of the offline two player game.
That pretty much kills the game for me.
One of the biggest components of this game and the previous title is going about gathering all of the bathing suits and other goodies for the various characters in the game.
With the old game, whenever a friend came over to play a two player volley ball match, you could show off the various outfits you had acquired, make inappropriate comments about the ladies, whine about losing because of the control scheme, and enjoy your company in general.
With the DOAX2, there is no offline multiplayer game. No local two player mode. I guess the people who made this game figured that the players who would play it didn't get out enough to know any people in person, and those they did know they only talked to over a crackling headset.
Well, that wasn't the case with me and my friends.
Between rounds of Halo and Soul Calibur we'd pop in DOAX1 for a change of pace and everyone liked it.
That was the part of the game I really liked:
The social aspect.
That made me want to collect all the different outfits and items so I could show them off, and hear my buds comment on them. It gave me a reason keep playing the single player mode (which in no way had an elaborate storyline). And I enjoyed it. I really did.
DOAX1 was a gem.
And while DOAX2 has a pretty face, there is nothing shining behind the eyes.
All in all, even with the online bit, you are still alone, just playing with yourself.

Guilty PleasureNov 16, 2006
By Michael A. Kelly

I liked origonal game on Xbox and this one has much better graphics. The play is lacking in the Jet-ski race - it's really hard and so is the water slide game.
Basically, the game is earn money and buy smaller bikinis to put your gal in.
You can earn the money anyway you want - which is a nice change of pace.
Overall - despite some control issues in the jet ski game this game is highly recommended.
So - if you are looking for that fan type game to admire the girls of DOA this is your ticket. The stunningly gorgeous women of DOA on a beautiful tropic island complete with all the toys you'd ever want for some is a fantasy come true.
Having your DOA Gal Jet-ski as well as play beach volleyball was a nice added touch. The other minigames including Hopping Game and Butt Battle are actually fun also.

DOAX2 is an unexpected bit of sunshineNov 23, 2008
By Alec Morris DOAX2 appears on the outside to be a chauvanistic, over-sexed game where the sole purpose is to watch each of the characters endowments sway like sentient parasites struggling to esacape and find a new, less ditzy host body.
Yes, There are boobs. LOTS OF BOOBS. And I'll be honest. It's why I bought the game. But, surprisingly, Team Ninja has created something here, something that is unexpectedly... fun.
There are a whole host of games to play, including super waterslides of death, pool hopping, jet-ski racing, flag dashes, blackjack, roullette, slot machines, and of course, beach volleyball.
I was surprised by the quality of the gameplay; this game controls very smoothly, from the volleyball matches to jet-ski racing. The graphics are gorgeous, featuring realistic looking environments, with water that looks so real, it makes you want to go for a swim yourself.
The story is lacking, but, storylines in a glorified minigame collection never matter.
Over all, once you get past the hyper-sexed nature of the character designs, the game is surprisingly fun, and can keep you entertained for hours at a stretch.
Parents should remember to enforce the "M" rating though, as some of the swimsuits are so skimpy, they have to be bluured on cable telvision!

Just a little upgrade from the firstJun 20, 2008
By Cheri Taylor This game is the same like the first one for xbox. The only new thing is just jet raceing the rest are the same, they could had done more then just put partial nudity cause this game got boaring quick. When i first heard this game was comeing out i thought their was going to be more fun and exitment but when i played it i thought i was playing the first cause their was nothing really different exept jet raceing and some new music witch i did'nt really care for. The jet raceing was a little fun it was'nt that great but the rest was just the same. The same stuff include vollyball, pool hopskotch, relaxing near the water, buying new clothe's and figer and nail polish, and that's it they just added jet raceing. So this game was no good they should had done more in this game.
