Dead or Alive Xtreme 2!!!

[fenrir72]

Got the game, this is my honest to goodness review for Itagaki's sinful, titallating title.

Be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry patient with the game.
You won't finish it in one sitting.

Now the review:

Graphics: 4.8 out of 5 (the breast jiggle physics are quite outstanding heheh) Also included are the tanning physics( real time when you wear a swimsuit under the sun too long.

Clipping issues are minimum, Leifang's and Kokoro's hair not withstanding. Gripe is that Leifang only sports two hair styles unlike the previous version.

Gameplay: Improved AI during beach volleybal tournaments especially the opposing side. Also crazy about the jetski sessions, amazing water effects!

There are also interactions this time between partners, not too R-rated though, just a bit of teasing type ( see the Opening movie sequence and you'll understand)

Camera photo op, a bit on the iffy side, its quite hard being the photo journalist unless you undersatnd the camera mechanics, wished it was user friendly though........................

Casino:? very cheap.....'nuff said.

Gift giving and relation building still the main thrust though, a bit of touch and go to get the right combination.

Swimsuits: Haven't noticed the Venus yet but I've noticed a reverse trend, the more revealing suits are cheaper this time.

Camera control: Game camera less controllable this time, (I wonder why though?)

Voice overs: This time, there are english voice-overs. Unlike the horrible experience in the PS2 version of DOA2 HardCore, the characterizations this time are wayyyyyyyyy better and fit each of the ladies personalities ( Christie, Helena etc)

Cons: Unless you've got nothing else better to do, expect to invest a huge amount of time in the game.

I've seen three variant's of the Venus now, one of which is called Fortune, like that of a Brazilian carnival dancing queen with feathers on the rear............

Yes! I've been playing this game for a few days now, and I must say that it looks more like a DOAX upgrade, than a full version release...Anyway, the game is still fun, I really enjoy playing the jetski race, it pays-off small in the beginning but the cash reward gets bigger with more routes you unlock... ^_^

If you want fast cash try the roulette trick in the casino. Distribute your chips on the table (i.e. put chips on all black or red, 1-20, etc). Then press the Guide button on your controller to bring up the dash board. Make sure you press the guide button BEFORE THE BETTING ENDS. If you win then return to the game, if not then just quit to the dash board & repeat the process.

But beware that this trick has a small chance of corrupting your save data. The game autosaves when the betting ends. By bringing up the guide button, it halts the saving process. Just incase you've pressed the guide button at the same time as the betting ends, I would suggest you proceed with the game to avoid risking data corruption. I've tried this a couple of times without any problems, unfortunately Tecmo released a patch to remove this exploit. But the nice thing about the patch is they increased the money earned in vball & jetski.

There is a much easier cheat the the slot machines.

Use Christies' (extra stripper mode dance)

Bet until you've got Z 1,5000,000

Press x to start the slots while at the same time the BIG X button

If you reach a near wipe out, press yes if you want to exit then the A button

You will automatically exit with you saving the previous amount.

Just press confirm if you want to go back to the first vacation.

* And yes, if you downloaded the patch..................this trick is useless.

Infinite stripper dance mode and photographs!

I did it! This trick is only applicable if you've never updated the game.

This is how it works.

1.Collect all the secret ticket per girl
2.Ready your high tech camera
3.Wait until nightfall
4.Ready your camera just before the dance sequence
5.During the dance sequence, flash away
6.Just prior to the final end pose
7.Reset using the sign out method.
8.Once you return back, check your memory photos, its all there and the camera will still retain the same number of "film".The secret ticket will also be there.
9.Your only problem will be the memory space for all the photogarphs.
