How To Slip Into A Reversible Coma

Dead or Alive - Xtreme Beach Volleyball

age entry from 19.02.2010


Hello diary readers. Almost as a reaction to Horst Sergio's review of Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude , I thought I might come my video revise Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball. This was in fact my very first attempt ever been a video game to allow the Internet community going. And I think you see and hear that obvious when it to look . Besides, sex sells, I can not hurt it when we are in the tags in such a game. So we come to probably one of the funniest and most naive games, which has been published for the good old X-BOX.




No sports game

Although the name suggests, perhaps, be here at the beginning of this very clearly: "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" is NOT a sports game. But a graphic shell with a high recreation value. To better understand what is at stake, is here once the game's story outline. The fighters from Dead or Alive fighting games come together on an island to take part in another tournament battle. This is only a trick, in reality that is taking place not a fight tournament. Upper Macho Zack has put the lie to the world, to attract the ladies on his holiday island. But instead of sulking and disappointed to leave, the ladies make the best of the situation and actually spend, as scheduled by Zack, vacation on the island. This is where the player into the game. You opt for one of the ladies, and travels with her to the island where you spend you with 14 rounds to earn money to play in volleyball. With the money you can go about new bathing suits, sunglasses, bracelets and many other accessories Yet. Another way to squander money "gambling is the casino at the hotel. Well, and so would actually has described all the important game elements. You play a little volleyball, purchase items that you collect and then can argue for a change a few poorly implemented casino mini-games.


motivation in the game

Now it is natural to me, why should such a game down at all. It is ridiculous and clearly aimed at the lower instincts of the man. Now, who now I believe an argument could have the ready to refute this fact, is mistaken. In fact, the only motivation of the game is the different bathing suits and other accessories unlock by earning money in mini-games. Part of the volleyball is still managed quite well. Although not particularly need a lot of tactics to win the rallies make quite varied. Depending on how the player the ball is and how hard you press the Action button, different stroke variations. To convince a sports game of the volleyball part is still not varied enough and therefore goes through even more as something more extensive mini-game. The casino, however, a disappointment only because of the boring graphically presented Gambling is not really fun. Especially in poker you should have installed female players, because who is on this game, the audience was supposed to be really clear now. My personal favorite is the hopping game at the swimming pool. It is in its ridiculousness hard to beat because of its naive charm, and makes simple joy. Although not very long but for the moment. Responsibility is his, we'll call heroine to have to jump over some cushion in the water to get from one end of the pool to the other. Depending on how much you press the action button it performs either a long or a short jump. But if I have the game mechanics descriptive, I could die laughing myself.


beach atmosphere

The atmosphere of the game can best be compared with the naive witty charm of Baywatch. Poor actresses who show more than cover the swimsuits and get into hilarious situations on the beach. All the time is very funky and relaxing music from the boxes while we change our heroine through the beach scenes. We can relax on the beach can be, or at the pool or in the jungle or a deserted cove. It can rotate the camera in and out or clean . Zoom Yes folks, this one can really do in the game. There is no higher goal of the game, it's about the ladies on display in various poses. Did you this but once internalized, can turn off his brain, listen to music and raise money for bathing suits. Because there are infinitely many, they would have to unlock all of you probably spend as much time in the game, such as in a Elder Scrolls role-playing. I myself, with my two video projects that I created artwork for these items, spent just under 20 hours with the game and I think, is that even a real masterpiece.


technology that inspires Now

main reason for me to time the game was the technique of the game ("Seriously, why else should I play it?"). It was shortly after the launch of the X-box appeared. Since I was the proud owner of this console, I naturally wanted to know as a PC veteran, to what my console hardware is technically capable. DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball on the example even today one can see, to a whole lot. Very beautiful landscape graphics, detailed animations and heroines with smooth beautiful lighting effects of the sun. DoA Extreme is a playable technology demo, sprayed by his naive charm and involuntarily funny game mechanics but a lot of cult status. This is also the reason why I do not have the successor to the 360. There, the animations of certain body parts are simply ridiculous and only the additional mini-games are not a real reason to buy. Such iconic video game trash-bead can be produced only once. In this sense people, if you have at home or an X-BOX and the game can get somewhere convenient to smite. You gain a truly iconic "Volleyball Game".
