if you fuck up and lose too often in volleyball matches no girl will want to be your partner and you will become a social pariah in Zack Island

fucking brutal

was this supposed to be a "sexy" experience? cause i just get my ass kicked in volleyball in a game from 20 years ago. Based

Aight, so this is definitely a horny game, and obviously your enjoyment is going to vary depending on how much you can enjoy that kind of thing. If you are the type of person that thinks this kinda thing is degenerate/objectifying then yea nothing this game does is gonna change that opinion. But like, idk man playing this 20 years after the fact it's kinda a vibe? hear me out

In todays day and age, I feel like a lot of horny shit has fallen to the blatant and trashy side of things. Should you feel so inclined, you could use the very web browser you are reading this review on right now to delve into all sorts of dubiously degenerate shit from probably millions of sources. Hell, even strictly staying to the console game sphere there's all sorts of "Sakura Succubus 4"s and "Hentai Girls 8"s clogging up digital storefronts on stuff like the switch and Playstation, degen shit is out there. There's also comparatively higher budget shit like the Senran Kagura and Hyperdimension Neptunia series that hit that degen sphere, hell even the later sequels to this game crank up the trash dial with all the different ports and versions of DOAX3 out there. And that's not even considering all the actual eroge/nukige that are on PC. What I mean to say by all of this is that compared to how things are now, DOAX1 is really honestly quite tame, to the point where I feel like I could hardly even call it a trashy guilty pleasure game anymore.

Maybe it's the games self-awareness and goofiness in its plot, as it's just Zack inviting all the DOA girls over to play volleyball on a vacation island he happened to win before it explodes into a million pieces at the end. Maybe it's the aesthetic design being solid, with clear, crisp sunny beaches with sparkling water and bright blue skies accompanied by the most 2000s ass ska/reggae summery music you ever could find. The areas have the same high attention to detail and level of polish that the stages in the main DOA games contain. There are a lot of moments where the game basically gives you a free-cam to zoom in and look at whatever is on the screen, and while it's definitely designed to peep on some polygonal xbox goochie, I honestly found myself using it to look at the environments more than the girls.

The actual gameplay is kinda eh though. Half the time you are playing volleyball with the girls, the other half you are blowing away your life savings at the casino. There's also this lite-social sim aspect to it in that you can talk to other characters and give them presents in order for them to play volleyball with you, but it's all quite shallow. The point of the game really isn't so much in the gameplay, so honestly its whatever.

So like yeah. It's horny, but not aggressively so. I'm honestly rather impressed. They cared equally as much towards making a game that captures a summer vacation vibe as they did towards making an early coomercore console game. It may still basically be softcore porn at the end of the day, but damn is it some vibin softcore porn. I earnestly can't hate it. Sasuga itagaki.

really this games opening says more about it than I ever could, so just watch that.

This game walked so anything past 2003 with boobs could walk.

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is a spin-off of the franchise Dead or Alive, it happens after Dead or Alive 3 to be precise.
This game is obviously about Volleyball, it might not be the best Volleyball sports simulation title out there but honestly, it does the job, I'm no Volleyball expert but it plays alright you just have to pass the ball to your teammate and try to do some badass ball smash combos or whatever. But playing Volleyball is fine for like 1/2 hour at best, after that you kinda just need a bit more y'know, you need some mini-games because it's a spinoff it's obviously about mini-games, unfortunately the only minigames here are some random casino junk that you just see everywhere like blackjack, roulette and whatnot, the only original minigame is the pool one where you have to time your jump to walk across the pool on small pool floating thing and all just to get a few coins.
Yeah, coins it's kind of the only "goal" of the campaign, you collect coins by doing casino stuff or playing volleyball stuff, and with the coins you obviously buy some sexy skimpy swimsuit and cute accessories and other items that you can gift to girls to make them stay as your partner longer, that's kinda it.

Yep, not much to do in this game, it's not bad by any means it's a volleyball game about breast physics and it's exactly what I got and I'm happy with it, I just kinda wish it had more to make me play more of it, just playing volleyball match just to get nothing at the end is kinda boring.
Though there are some unique and positive points about the game, the characters can tan if they don't wear sunscreen, that's right red dead redemption 2 in 2003 they made something sooo realistic that you've never done before, Xtreme Beach Volleyball deserves to be crowned the new king of video game realism, plus the boobs physics, truly a marvelous title for its time, a pioneer to the game industry as a whole, god bless you Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
The game also features an entire soundtrack of real-world music, that's right it's a game with Reel Big Fish in it, crazy. Also supposedly I saw that in the manual of the game, you can copy songs from a CD with your Xbox and then play them in-game, big if true.

Overall a really original yet unoriginal spinoff of an original yet unoriginal franchise, only Team Ninja would have the balls to make this game.

This is a surprisingly in-depth dating sim / sports game combo. Tried it out for a laugh, but ended up losing track of time because I was having genuine fun. Worth giving this one a go, at least as a curiousity.


Virgin dead or alive devs: "Ohhh noooooo we can't have male characters with skimpy outfits nooooo, n-no one wants to see Bass and Bayman wearing t-thongs uhum don't imagine it......."

Tekken devs: "Here, have this fucking 80 year old as a sexy butler for no reason"

NÃO IRONICAMENTE

tem uma gameplay arcade muito boa, impressionante o quão bem feito isso é recomendo de verdade memo, as gostosa são só um extra.

And I've been a lesbian ever since.

Fui pelas gostosa, fiquei pela gameplay, e sai uma nova pessoa.

É um puta jogo de volley arcade legal que mistura um pouco de dating sim e jogos de azar. Ganhe dinheiro, construa seu relacionamento com as garotas, conquiste o respeito de sua parceira, compre e troque maiôs e biquínis para customização das personagens, e ame Meja.

Eu estava envolvido para caramba quando joguei pela primeira vez. Eu cheguei a imprimir várias folhas para saber todos os gostos em presentes de todas as garotas e para aprender a jogar os jogos do cassino. Eu não apenas joguei Xtreme Beach Volleyball, como eu VIVI Xtreme Beach Volleyball.

O foco e o barato do jogo não é a sensualização das garotas, apesar de que a partir do segundo jogo essa série virou bagunça. A graça desse primeiro Xtreme é que ele é bastante competente em tudo o que faz, além de ser bem divertido.

Esse foi um jogo formativo no meu caráter já que na primeira vez em que joguei eu fui com uma ideia um tanto machista em mente, mas no final dessa jornada eu acabei saindo com um outro olhar de tudo isso, entendendo que eu tenho uma coisa feminina dentro de mim que posso ter reprimido por muito tempo e só percebi após ter jogado. Não, eu não sou gay, mas também não sei muito bem como explicar.

É o tipo de jogo que quanto mais eu tento explicar o motivo de eu genuinamente gostar dele, mais parece que eu sou uma pessoa estranha e perturbada. No entanto, esse é um jogo que me faz perceber como algumas experiências com jogos e filmes poder ser bem impactantes e pessoais, e com o tempo se tornar mais do que apenas estrelinhas em redes sociais.

Não sei como está a emulação do Xbox, mas esse definitivamente é um título para se conhecer na moralzinha e jogar com a galera.

How crazy are you?

I didn't actually play this but my Xbox came with a shit ton of save data for this, so I wanted to add it because it was really funny. I looked it up on YouTube and yup, they did not lie, that is indeed some Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Shoutouts to Xbox guy, wherever you are, I hope you're still playing sexy Xbox volleyball

This is still the best sand volleyball game. I wish it was a little less thirsty.

Played for 6 hours straight and I still suck but its a lot of fun. The gambling is one of the best parts but Its a shame the poker isn't Texas hold 'em but beggars cant be choosers. I'm also not one for games where the fun is collecting items but here I found it quite enjoyable. Definitely something I'll come back too for some quick fun.

Way too difficult, it's even harder than me when I see Leifang!

I love TITS

The zenith of video games as an art.

This game was so good that it caused me to abandon my lifelong Nintendo fanboyism at the time and buy an Xbox, the first non-Nintendo console I ever owned. Sure, KOTOR was technically the first game I bought for it, but I'll let you in a little secret: it was only so I didn't have to admit I bought my Xbox for this. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

many years ago, every friday my family and i went to blockbuster. i was allowed to pick out one game. i spotted doa xtreme beach volleyball one night while perusing the shelves, and immediately looked away, as if anyone would care to notice little ol' me, at the tender age of ten, glancing at scantily clad video game women. for weeks straight when i wandered past the shelf this game was left on, i shyly kept my gaze trained to the gummy, navy carpeting. it ultimately took me months to work up the courage to grab it, and even MORE time to ask for it up front. for several weekends, i would put it back, too worried about what people would think.

turns out i'm bisexual. thanks, team ninja!

Surprisingly solid volleyball game, probably my go-to for a volleyball game, not that there's a whole lot of competition. This was back when volleyball was actually in the title of this series, so there's a lot less focus on staring at the sexy anime girls compared to later entries, although it is absolutely still there.


every straight boy who played this growing up is now 100% into sissification
