DoA Xtreme Beach Volleyball: neuer Download

Beitrag von 4P|Bot »

Während sich Japaner und Amerikaner bereits mit leicht bekleideten Damen an sandigen Stränden vergnügen, müssen wir bis zum Release von noch ein wenig warten. Um Euch aber schon jetzt auf die Freuden dieses Spiels einzustimmen, hat Microsoft einen neuen Bildschirmhintergrund und einen Screensaver veröffentlicht. Ihr könnt Euch Tina, Lisa & Co also schon jetzt auf den heimischen PC holen.<BR><BR><a href="http://www.4players.de/rendersite.php?L ... ownload</a> (1,42 MB)

So wie es aussieht, werden wir uns wohl noch bis zum 2. Quartal 2003 gedulden müssen. :cry:

Na, das glaub ich eher weniger, da es im Schnitt mehr gute Bewertungen gekriegt hat als schlechte. Ich freu mich jedenfalls drauf.

hier mal ein gutes review...

WERTUNG 2.5/6 Punkten

DOAXBV (as we'll refer to it for brevity) is ostensibly a volleyball game, featuring some of the female characters from the popular Dead or Alive fighting games, dressed in skimpy swimwear, and cavorting around a picturesque island generally looking lovely. There is a plot, involving a joke played on the girls by Dead or Alive 3's Zack character, but it's almost totally irrelevant to the gameplay.

The game's core, the volleyball sections, are pleasantly intuitive. One button plays an offensive shot, like a spike or a block, and another plays a more defensive stroke like a pass to your teammate. That's about all you need to know. Although you need to move your girlie into roughly the right location, precision isn't necessary as she'll move to receive the shot on her own. Jumping is taken care of automatically too, so to perform a decisive spike into an unguarded area of your opponent's court all you really need to do is be in the right place and time your button press correctly.

Getting your head around the rules is straightforward, too. The last team to score serves next, there are no side or end boundaries, and the first team to seven points wins. Games are generally fairly brief, although sometimes long rallies can develop. Winning games earns you a big stack of cash, and there's bonus prizes for certain shots. It's certainly no Beach Spikers or Virtua Tennis, but it's reasonable nevertheless. It can also be played two-player in the exhibition mode, although with four characters playing at a time, it's odd there isn't support for more human participants.

The volleyball action is viewed as if from a TV camera placed on the sidelines. It pans back and forward to follow the ball, and generally works okay. Once or twice, characters can drift off-screen, which can cause problems when the ball heads for them, and occasionally, you'll be called upon to perform the somewhat difficult task of hitting a shot when the camera is pointed elsewhere. Sound effects are functional, including ball noises and a number of quotes for each character; the music is best forgotten, but can thankfully be replaced with a custom soundtrack.

So now you're expecting to hear about the tournament modes, the stats development and so on, right? Well, wrong. DOAXBV is played in a more unusual way. Similar to the "dating sims" so beloved of Japanese gamers, the main game takes place over 14 days, with a variety of activities that can be performed on each day. Aside from the volleyball games, you can shop in one of the island's stores for new swimsuits or a variety of entirely pointless trinkets and collectible items. You can even go and lounge by the pool, and play the rather bizarre stepping-stone minigame there. At night, your character heads back to the hotel, where you can review your item collection or head for the casino to gamble away your money at blackjack, poker, roulette or the slots.

That isn't the end of the oddness. Although you start the game with a partner, it's necessary to team up with some of the other girls at various points. But it's not as simple as asking them... oh no. You have to buy them gifts from the stores (after first checking the manual to read up on their likes and dislikes) before they'll consent to team up with you. It feels rather like a reality TV show, where you have to manipulate your companions to "get them to like you." If you're left without a partner, you won't be able to play volleyball at all. So if this idiotic present-swapping rigmarole doesn't appeal to you, you'll be left with some pointless minigames and, oh yes, some scantily clad ladies.

DOAXBV is a very detailed game, there's no doubt about it. The models are lifelike, in a Barbie-doll sort of way, and the animations and motion of the girls is very convincing. The small details are the most impressive, although probably not the small details you're thinking of. The girls kick up convincing sand puffs when they move, and if you give one of the chicks a swimsuit or accessory they particularly like, they'll wear it.

You'll have plenty of opportunity to check them out, too, as the game is full of little cutscenes, showing your character relaxing on the beach or, for some unfathomable reason, dragging her crotch along a fallen tree trunk. Perhaps it's supposed to be arousing, but all we could think of was the inevitable pain of a splinter in such a personal area, and all sorts of bad puns about "getting wood." Want a close-up of the action nevertheless? Sure! The right trigger will zoom in on the girl, and you can pan the camera around to focus on whichever of her assets you choose.

The sad fact remains that the $50 is too much for what it is. The volleyball is actually quite good, but it's far too limited and all the other nonsense just gets in the way. The collectible items range from the marginally interesting (old TV commercials and demo reels of DOA games past) to the utterly pointless (a steering wheel), and it's very hard to muster the enthusiasm to bother to attempt to complete them. If Tecmo had put a bit more into the core gameplay, this could have been one worth playing for much longer than the time it takes to tire of the rather obvious novelty on offer.
