Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball actually wasn’t the first one in the series I played, after playing Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 I become hooked with this series and bought this one and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. It is a game with not much to think about but play volleyball and do poolside activities. Being the first in the series it does everything right. You start out by picking your girl and partner with another and go through your vacation on Zack Island. Volleyball of course is the main point of the game and surprisingly it does it very well in my opinion and it’s fun to pick up and play. I’m actually not a normal type of fan because I have no interest in the girls but I’ve always loved playing as female characters and each character has their own charm. It’s just a game a simple as volleyball. One of my favorite recent game series thus far.Read full review

If you can past the fact that this game is a giant collection of guilt inducing fanservice, than it isn't too bad. It's not perfect, but is fairly a decent game nonetheless. Graphics Very sharp and clean. All the environments are well detailed and the Girls are as well. They stay clean even when watching cutscenes and playing volleyball. Sand is even is shuffled and moved when you play. Sound There are songs already on the soundtrack that you'll either love or hate, but it's nice that you can make custom soundtracks by loading music from the hard drive. Sound effects and voices are there, but the characters speak only in Japanese. This may annoy some, but there are subtitles. However, they don't show during the volleyball games, so unless you're a Japanese language guru, you'll have no clue what they are saying. GamePlay This is very simple. There are basically just two games, the pool hopping event, that just uses one button. Then there is the volleyball game itself. Controls are easy to use and responsive. Playing volleyball takes a bit of getting used to, but isn't too hard. In fact, you only have to play it once if you want. Since you can get through a vacation without even playing any games. There are MANY items to collect and get, which will require some work. Especially if you want to get the more revealing swimsuits, but it can get boring quickly for some. The game plays the same regardless of what girl you pick to use. OVERALL It may not appeal to some, but it still can provide some amusement. It's really up to the player if they want to spend lots of time to aquire most of what the game has, and if your looking for something deep or very engaging, then you'll probably want to look at something else. But if you need a quick game (or a little fanservice), than this should appeal to you.Read full review
I just now started collecting the doa games and this game is a volleyball game with some gambling and a few other features. It also has a ton of unlockables such as swimsuits, volleyballs, accessories and videotapes containing commercials of the game, both Japanese and English. The game came in great condition.

Beautiful fluff. Playing this game, I can't imagine that Tecmo planned for DOAX Volleyball to be anything else. It does well as fluff - the girls are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the volleyball play is, well, definitely not the most serious gameplay you can find, which is also true about DOAX's side games - cushion-hopping and casino play. Ignore the soundtrack that comes with the game and use your own. Have fun and don't expect a huge amount from this installment in the DOA series. Definitely a no-brainer, yet gorgeous to look at, much like the DOA girls.
Game is too good, can't be ever beaten. Top Graphics and gameplay. Makes you feel good.
