TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 9, 2003 Tecmo announced today that its highly anticipated and controversial beach volleyball game, Dead or Alive® Xtreme Beach Volleyball (DOAX) for the XboxEvideo game system from Microsoft , featuring the girls of the million selling Dead or Alive® series, received an "M" rating by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Tecmo had initially expected the game to receive a teen rating, but will honor the ESRB¹s verdict.
"Based on the level of sexuality we perceived in the game, we were a bit surprised to hear the ESRB's decision to give DOAX an M rating," John Inada, Director of Marketing and Sales for Tecmo, said. "However, we've always trusted and respected the ESRB in the past and have decided not to appeal their decision."
Along with the "M" rating, ESRB also included descriptors to explain why it was given its mature rating. These include Gambling, Mature Sexual Themes, and Nudity. "While there isn¹t rampant nudity in the game, there are certain elements that caused the ESRB to give it the Nudity descriptor," said Inada. "As with all other games in the Dead or Alive franchise, we believe the stunning visuals, explosive action and classic arcade gameplay will bring Dead of Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball to an even wider audience of admirers."
