DOAxvb is in the Box (merged)

[Casper]

"How Crazy Are You" is the song that starts off this beautiful intro and the graphic rendering is as much eye candy as the outfits these girls are. From Tina looking gorgeous with a six-pack stomach and in a 2 piece to Helena wrapped in a blanket trying to wake up in the early morning....the intro alone is simply amazing.

I'm just starting to get into this game and I'll add some more if I can get my hands off of my...err, controller, yea, the controler, that's it

[Kraft]

Hooray! Not only is DOAX out, but I thought ahead and bought stock in Kleenex and Johson & Johnson (makers of baby oil and vasoline). I think casper is going to drive my stock up by at least 1/4 of a point by himself...

Hopefully that means I can sell off the stock and buy this game for myself.

I thought it didnt come out until tomorrow...oh wait, today is wednesday...my friend is going to pick it up tomorrow and im gonna get Unreal Championship for 25 bucks...

Any review scores on it yet? I bet the whackjobs at gamespot give it something like a 7.4 or some crazy stupid score...

[LynxFX]

I've read some pretty good hands on (no pun intended) reviews of it and the game is pretty good overall. Graphics are top notch as one would suspect. But the whole gift giving, keeping your partner happy, gambling in the casino type stuff really add to the game.

I just might have to pick this one up now, for the superb volleyball of course.

[xboxmaster2002]

gamespot said they kept quiet on this game and they have a lot of cool stuff never announced, im going to pick this gameup in about an hour.

[No Fear 23]

will this game be good to get, not just the grahpics or the babes, but the gameplay???

[DZNUTZ]

see..that whole gambling thing is probably gonna be the deciding factor for me.

basically...what i'm trying to say is...IS THEIR CRAPS!?!?!?

[Brevity]

I guess this means no more Casper XBL servers at night. BTW its a good idea to cover the troller with a baggy or something so it does nto get all sticky

I dont think casper has to worry about that yet...someday he will mature

[Kraft]

Hopefully people across the nation will have the sense to put the controller down Honestly one of my favorite features was the autofight feature, as girls fighting makes a wonderful backdrop for doing homework or typing online!

[Cloud Strife]

I can't wait to have DOAX in my Xbox. Just need to buy Crimson Sea first. I need a girl so the game will be perfect.

[LynxFX]

Gamespot gives it a 6.0.

Apparently there isn't a whole lotta volleyball in this game. So if that is what you are after wait for Outlaw Volleyball.

I will still have to give this one a rental.

I had that feeling Gamespot would score the game like that. I'm not listening to the review because they rated half my favorite Xbox games bad.

[DZNUTZ]

anyone know what ign gave it?
its still locked to insiders.

Well.. what did you expect? This game wouldn't deserve a 9 gamespot or no gamespot..

9.2 i'll post the breakdown on the scores in a minute.

[aircobra]

Presentation: Dead or Alive meets beach vacation theme is consistent throughout, but we would've like to have seen more of Zack Island. 8.0

Graphics: From head to toe, some of the best character models ever. Hardcore DOA fans and casual players alike will drink in the details of every girl and the moves they make. 10.0

Sound: Built-in soundtrack won't get you very far and the voice samples are quick to annoy. Surround sound separation is great but doesn't really add much to this type of game. 7.0

Gameplay: The volleyball engine is remarkable and the peripheral gambling, shopping and relationship management elements all serve to complement it. 9.0

Lasting Appeal: The single player game is only deep if you love collecting for collection's sake. Otherwise, the two player head to head matches are where it's at for DOAX. 8.0

OVERALL SCORE: (not an average) 9.2

[EHWfedPres]

I dont listen to any of gamespot's scores...they give Vice City a 9 for graphics and that is CERTAINLY not some of the best the ps2 has to offer...maybe the N64, but that game's visuals are downright sad...Gamespot is 100% biased. That is a fact.

[studepaber]

I just got the game ummm nice intro by the way The volleyball part confused me the fist game, but then I read the directions and it's a tad easier. Already won 20k on blackjack, mussst find skimpiest suit possible.......and no DZNUTZ no craps, there's only poker, roullette, slots and blackjack..Seems I really haven't even scratched the surface of this game yet.
