DOA Xtreme 2 is a game which offers outstanding visuals and some interesting idea's but lacks in almost every other area
This game offers none of the above, whilst the mini games are ok there is no quickplay mode and you are forced to play within a pointless and annoying story which has a form of in game clock which is just annoying and leaves you with almost no freedom as the game determines what you can chose to play and when you can play them and you are only able to play a certain amount per day. If this was not annoying enough you are forced to partner up and develop relationships with the other girls which is an o.k idea in theory but besides the fact that it is to hard and in the end will just annoy and frustrate you and will totally keep you from enjoying the games.
The graphics are outstanding bar the ridiculous physics but that aside that as mentioned earlier most people might have wanted to team up with there mates to check out these computer game girls together and get into the mini-games but guess again there is no multi-player, no quick play feature, nothing. You are stuck in that time constricted story all by yourself so you are taken into it alone which will leave you feeling like a pervert in the end.
As mentioned the mini games are o.k and can be fun and you are able to visit the casino as much as you like which is probably the highest point of this game, but mini games in general are unexciting as you are stuck playing them alone and mainly concerned about the ridiculously hard task of keeping a friend who will ditch you if don't win all the time.
Sure you get money and can buy some cool items and go on photo shoots but in the end it takes to much effort and kinda gets boring, and guess what by the time you've saved up and got what you wanted the game's clock runs out and the story finishes and if you want to play again you have to start from the beginning without your items and go through the same annoying story again.
The music from the one trailers was really great but other than that you might find yourself going insane after a few hours of the music found in the game. It's cool to see all the DOA girls again and to be honest their voice acting wasn't that bad but in the end the game was very average and a major shortcoming of what it could have been and did not utilize the concepts and ideas it was trying to achieve. If you like to play alone, gamble or look at attractive girls then this game is for you because there is not much else you can do without being frustrated to tears or losing interest otherwise you may have ended up purchasing yourself a new frisby.
