Title: Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 - Team Ninja - 360 Post by: Azazel on December 29, 2009, 02:13:51 AM Wow. Let me preface by stating that I did not buy this. A friend loaned me this, stating that it was shit, but I wanted to see for myself (yes, I asked to borrow it), so I played it while watching a Tenacious D disc, so I could still be entertained while playing with it. I did play the original on XBox briefly, and came to the conclusion that while CG girls with hot bodies, anime faces and otherworldly breasts are funny, the actual Volleyball was ass, and everything else was even worse.
So I didn't come to Xtreme 2 with high expectations. I did read an interview with that Team Ninja guy who thinks he's a rock star saying something about these games not being meant to be taken seriously, and that they're essentially "dumb fun" like a TV gameshow. Well, he was half right. Graphically, the hot-bodied, anime-faced, otherworldly-breasted girls are obviously going to have been rendered better than they were on the original Xbox, but unbelievably, the game is even more shitty than the original. The jetski racing is weak, the pool game is at least as bad as before, and the volleyball still sucks arse. This "game" is total shit. == Avoid. Like the Plague.

Everything else was shit, but the volleyball was fun enough that I'd probably have kept it if I could install it to hard drive (which you can't for whatever reason).

Title: Re: Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 - Team Ninja - 360 Post by: Azazel on December 30, 2009, 09:53:57 AM I tried to like the volleyball, but no luck. Poor camera angles and somewhat random shots.
Well, poor camera angles for playing a volleyball game. As opposed to watching jiggle.

While all the mini games were weak, I actually did think the volleyball part of the game was fun (and insano gravity defying boob shots were hilarious). Haven't actually tried this one, but I have a hard time seeing the Volleyball being any worst than the original.

Doesn't matter when it came out. Some games you might not want to install because they perform poorly compared to running off-disc (Halo 3) but you can install pretty much every 360 title. Title: Re: Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 - Team Ninja - 360 Post by: Rendakor on January 02, 2010, 07:43:56 AM I honestly didn't know they ever retroactively added the ability to install old titles; I just assumed it only worked for the new games.
